  Can’t believe that guy left out this:

  image showing different pixel layouts

  The pixels and shading on them were designed to look better with a different display pixel layout

    Ive found that a cheap 1080p projector onto an unprepped painted white wall does a great job of making old crt stuff look correct.

      How’s the lag on one of those things? Doesn’t matter for an RPG, but playing some of the old platformers on a modern TV is an exercise in misery, and I just couldn’t get past the first couple of levels in Um Jammer Lammy without connecting up a PC monitor instead.

      Places where I’ve seen that live of projector are for eg. showing the football in a pub, and the sound and screen are noticeably out-of-sync.

        It wouldnt be any good for speed runs on an OG console. But I’m using all those re-release mini consoles so they are effectively emulated and not always perfectly so its ok.

        Good enough that I’m still a hot hand at Metal Slug.

    I like how they specified the xo-1 lcd. Everyone knows the one laptop per child computer from like 2010 is the most relatable device in 2025…… 15 years later… fuck.

    I still think someone needs to make a gaming screen with built in retro screen emulator capabilities. Fuck you’re 8K ultra wide crap I want to play old school games in their proper resolution without it looking like crap.
