Upscaled fifth gen games are so fucking ugly. It just doesn't look cohesive or mesh together at all. You have high-res textures with really ugly low-res textures and horrible pop-in, you have sharp edges but with ugly ass textures, you have constant graphical artifacts and you have to manually configure every game trying to fix them, some text literally just becomes indecipherable lines when upscaled.
Why would anyone choose this over just using native resolution and accurate settings + CRT shader?
you're an idiot, go try Ape Escape without upscaling and show me how good it looks in fact fuck it, I'll do it myself just to prove you wrong, give me a few minutes
Carter Smith
Games are meant to be played not looked at. Go take your schizoid rant somewhere else and realize that times have changed
Robert Harris
You are 100% correct. I prefer booting up my ps1 games on my ps2+crt or with retroach(beetle psx/mednafen psx) with crt.easymode. I find that simple shader improves the image without fucking with it too much.
Aaron Richardson
This nigga is the most skilled gamer ever, he doesn't even look at the games, plays everything blindfolded
Julian Evans
Why do retroarch faggots seethe about the existence of every other emulator?
Blake Thompson
Fuck off, RetroArch tranny.

How fucking shit does your life have to turn out that you get to a point where your nostalgia for your childhood warps your vision.

2x for a small clarity bump I refuse to elaborate
Benjamin Diaz
you ok, dude? you've pulled quite the straw out of your ass
Jordan King
>retroarch is more of a frontend than an actual emulator >has several ps1 emulators available retroarch fags seething over anything makes no sense whatsoever, why even be mad lolmao
Isaiah Flores
if there are pre rendered background you absolutely fuck up the visuals, the characters won't look like they are a part of the world anymore
Jackson Collins
it's 2x bro not 10x
Mason Hernandez
retroarch is not an emulator it alows you to put shaders over existing emulator, among many other things
Ian Torres
>play video games on their original hardware with an era accurate TV >never have to worry about if a game is running correctly or not
How the fuck do you emulationfags even cope?
Justin Butler
>Trying to dodge the point by lel funny Prove me wrong. In fact. Why aren't you seething Sony does the same thing you're talking about with duckstation. They literally made the fucking consoles and they don't care about shaders or anything
These are VIDEO GAMES not movies. Games are meant to be played. And if that person wants a upscaled 16:9 ratio or a low res experience as close as possible to native hardware. Then whatever. It doesn't matter. None of this matters because at the end of the day these are just fucking video games
Evan Davis
Autists can't handle something changing. You move a pixel and these defects lose their shit.
John Long
A lot of those old games gave that gritty look because of the CRT, removing it give a completely different vibe. Might be part of why I remember so many old games being spooky.
Carter Lewis
>its another "Any Forums gets mad at other people actually playing games as they see fit" episode
Duckstation is a piece of shit I use beetle psx on the native res you stupid fuck And what the fuck do i care about snoy when they don't give a fuck about their older games. Their ps1 emulator is worse than fan made ones by far.
Thomas Lewis
>duckstation > ape escape ntsc version >crt royale shader >upscaled to 4k cope autist, i'm having more fun than you
Andrew Evans
Then play that way. I don't give a fuck what you do you goddamn retard. Just stop making these shitty threads that amount to nothing but autism.
Landon Allen
>Duckstation is a piece of shit People say this but never say why. How is Beetle PSX better? Is it the mednafen talking?
Zachary Edwards
>never say why It is retroarch fags mad that stenzek told them to fuck off.
Jackson Turner
I was playing Croc and I saw the little characters in cages and frankly I thought "That looks not so bad"
Isn't that just personal preference? I don't think any of the two looks like shit.
Connor Carter
>retroarch fags mad that stenzek told them to fuck off That's literally it? Who fucking cares? I guess I'll just keep using Duckstation then, emulator autism is embarrassing sometimes.
You don't understand. Someone changed something and its wrong. Its like a splinter in my brain. I can't take it.
Ryan Stewart
I am not a OP Because it devolves into being plugin based like ePSXe and PSXR are and it's less accurate than beetle/mednafen anyway.
Nicholas Cook
Beetle PSX is more accurate and lower input lag. I never upscale my games so I don't really care about DuckStation enhancement features. Also DuckStation goes full retard when you enable integer scaling for some reason.
Try viewing it at native res. Nothing about the upscaled image looks consistent at all and there is artifacting everywhere.
Luke Edwards
But nobody's forcing you to play like that.
Nicholas Collins
>Upscaled fifth gen games are so fucking ugly. take that back nigga
Tried DuckStation on my SeX, and god damn, it made a lot of PS1 game look good. Playing SH1 in 4K/60 on Xbox is something I never knew would be a fucking thing.
Jaxon Fisher
It looks to me like the edges of the textures are visible which is normal if the CRT stuff isn't there and the size of the texturemaps is drastically increased. I see how some people can like that regardless and others don't.
It literally just depends whether you grew up playing the game that way or not, I never have and think right looks better. But if you show me a picture of sm64 on a crt, that's the one I vibe with.
Oliver Lee
Ever used any of the death to pixels shaders? Pretty cool stuff.
The best way would be playing without upscaling or shaders on a CRT like it was back then OR playing with upscaling and filters on a bigger LED screen.
Connor Taylor
I don't care about either picture
James Bailey
only autists care. Sometimes I post screens of filtered games just to piss them off and it makes me laugh sometimes I use smoothing filters sometimes I use CRT filters depends on the game really, but the asspain is ALWAYS tasty
