![]() What everyone actually needs to do is research a given platform and game to figure out what aspect ratio is necessary, hope the given emulator has interframe blending, and then everything should be good. The absolute worst thing someone can do is use any of those shoddy "CRT" filters. Other than that very specific detail, which can easily be replicated with simple interframe blending, the actual art was typically not particularly curated for CRTs, and the fact that games even look okay on a CRT is luck more than anything. The only part CRTs actually get right are those flashing transparency effects. What a "typical CRT" displays is typically wrong for most platforms. I'm not sure the two options should be mutually exclusive necessarily, but they are in my main emulator, so. (And then maybe potentially if a person is going for nostalgic retro foolishness then a blurry VHS or Composite shader.)ĮDIT: about "Nearest Neighbor" above, I'm talking about using Nearest Neighbor INSTEAD of Scanlines or something. It’s all irrelevant to emulations, where Scanlines should be used for 2D stuff, period, plus maybe glow/halation. Computer monitors were CRT and people read dense fine text on those. But a bunch of people think, “raw pixels! RETRO!”Īnyway, CRTs aren’t blurry. It creates horrible flat splotches of color and ruins the artist’s shading etc. It’s not accurate, it destroys and ruins and distorts the art which required Scanlines for softening. Nearest neighbor without scanlines is one of the worst, maybe the single worst, way to view old retro sprite games (and also old 3D games like PS1). Yeah it’s really frustrating people talk about "pure" “retro” pixels on LCD. So nearest neighbor is actually far less "retro" than bilinear Join us at /r/EmuDev Android Emulator accuracy tests:Īre you an emulator developer?
