How do you view emulated games?

[hi_resurrection]

I'm interested to see how emulation fans play their games. From Street Fighter to Galaga, from SNES to Zinc. How do you like games to come across? I HAVE to use the sharpest possible image, but I also like scanlines from time to time.

I'm quite fond of Super 2XSaI filter or the HQxx filter (when they work without slowdown). VisualBoy Advance with HQ2x is a treat to the eyes.

No filters and it does not seem blured to me. maybe my eyes are good.

Anyway the old arcade are not meant for that sort thing.

[Diso]

I don't even use those things. I think the game is fine the way the emulator shows it to me. Woot for default settings.

[solidius23]

im with diso mostly a default setting guy

[Nusumenai]

I usually leave the default settings, or sharpen them a bit.

 

I run it of TV-OUT most of the time, because consoles game don't look too pretty running of a monitor.

[Weirdy]

I usually don't use any, but if the game is extremely blocky, I'll use simple interpolation or hq2x or scale 2x (I don't like the 'blurry' look)

[ken_cinder]

Usually Super 2x Sai, I'd much rather an older game be made to look better.

Theres nothing "nostalgic" about scanlines, especially on a PC monitor where they look horribly overkill compared to a real TV, where you can barely notice them.

I'm a fan of the HQ/LQ filters (HQ2X, HQ4X, etc) and usually run games windowed.

I like Final Burn Alpha's new experimental blitter. I use the cubic filtering with either light smoothing or strong sharpening (depending on the game). Pretty cool.

The h2x filters are nice, but I can't use h2x4 on very many games cause my comp is a bit on the slow side.

i like my games pixelated with scanlines.
