@nostupidquestions Why do people like crt shaders in the retroarch community. There’s so many videos about it. Is it a product of their time or are non-crt experiencers doing it?
Maybe it’s a way for their smoothening upscaling shaders to look more pixelated and retro?
Lots of these games were designed on and for CRT screens and they look worse on a modern one without filtering.
This thread is full of insane people because all of the comments are saying the CRT ones look worse. I feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone here. Unbelievable.
how can you just dismiss someone’s opinion? you don’t have to agree, it’s literally an opinion, not fact. let people do what they want with the filters and quit giving people shit over what they like. you don’t have their eyes.
I disagree. I emulate a lot, and the CRT stuff makes them look worse to me. Just adds noise to the image.
Either you are doing the shaders wrong and messing up the image, or you may need to have your vision checked…the CRT images are vastly superior to the non-crt ones. There really just isn’t any other possible take on this, I’m sorry.
people can disagree on what they like better?
I disagree, and the second image (which is reversed vs the others) doesn’t look any better. It’s just as bad in it’s own way.
Its objectively more sharp
You’re absolutely right. I think everyone in this thread has glaucoma or something.
Shit, I better see a Doc. If only I could, but I have glaucoma or something.
Did you come up with that edgy reply all by yourself or did you utilize ChatGPT for that snarky comment?
No idea how to respond to this, so I decided to try your suggestion, and honestly, it’s worse.
In all honesty, my garbage replies come naturally.
Sorry to be dumb, but which ones are the crt ones?
Assuming the right ones, except for the middle pic, looks like the left one. The person who replied with these should have mentioned which was which…
The right ones.
CRT pixels weren’t perfect blocks, making them look better with special care. It actually made some processes much easier to calculate as they could rely on that method to “round out” the image.
Edit: Except the second image
It only looks better because of nostalgia. I think the filter-less ones look better.
Lol wut? Insane take. The CRT emulated ones look vastly superior. The non crt ones look pixelated as fuck.
The pixelated look is fashionable at the moment. I wonder if that’s the reason.
I think people maybe expect old games to be pixelated just because they’re old. (Because old = pixelated?) So when they see the CRT version look more blurred, they are confused and think it looks wrong. That’s my guess
