Comment on You're Emulating Retro Games Wrong (you need CRT Shaders)

  Shaders are not only useful for CRT emulation, but also to get the look of handhelds:

      Add that China theme to the mix.

      You’re welcome.

    Does this shader also replicate the horrific blur the display of the original GameBoy suffered from?

      There are two variants, one with motion-blur and one without. Besides that, often shaders have additional settings. One can change settings and save it as a new Shader Preset and use that instead. I have described it here: thingsiplay.game.blog/2024/10/19/…/8/#learn-and-e…

        Thanks. I shall avoid the motion blur variant as best as I can, because that’s one of several aspects of this device I do not remember fondly.

        I borrowed a friend’s Game Boy for an afternoon when I was a kid and I was so disappointed by it (primarily the screen, but also poor ergonomics and the limited nature of its games) that I lost nearly all interest in gaming for a year.

  Getting the settings right for video is critically important, too. Scaling needs to be done with the nearest neighbor pixel method, not more modern blends.
