I can't understand people who drop megabux on a plastic shell for some $25 Raspberry Pi with 15 games when you can go on Amazon, drop $75 on an Android box and another $30 on a decent bluetooth controller, download an emulator that does all the consoles, get the roms, and you can play everything from the Atari all the way to the PS2 and a ton of different arcade games as well. Also, unlike the console re-releases, you can use it as your all-in-one media box with Netflix/VLC/Youtube/NHL etc. Then again, nostalgia is pretty strong in some people.

Uncle at Nintendo posted:Are you sure? SNES games on the 3DS XL look absolutely amazing because the top screen matches the SNES resolution. The games look absolutely flawless with zero filters or scanlines. If you just want 1:1 pixel mapping you can get that with nearest neighbor sampling without using some retarded ultra-low resolution display. Scale an NES or SNES framebuffer up 9x and it will fit perfectly on a 4k display. It's not going to look like it did on a CRT though, because it ended up being displayed as something closer to 292x240 instead of 256x240.

It's more of the fact that it's still going to look like blocky jagged rear end. For example, SNES games on my Vita do not look good because it has a high resolution screen. On my n3ds XL, SNES games look absolutely incredible, because I the n3ds xl is very low resolution Unless I'm just reading your post wrong

I disagree. My friend has a 42" EDTV plasma which is literally a 480p-only tv from the early 2000s and Dreamcast and Wii look absolutely incredible on it. Practically high definition. They don't look nearly as good on a 1080p TV at the same size

Practically high definition. They don't look nearly as good on a 1080p TV at the same size Because old TVs usually had undefeatable overscan which means that the picture is probably being blurred a bit by the scaler and even if you do manage to get 1:1 pixel mapping plasmas inherently have a soft fuzziness to the picture due to the dithering process used to reproduce colors. This is the visual equivalent of audiophiles thinking that vinyl sounds "warmer" because it's noisier. gary oldmans diary posted:maybe you should actually look up ntsc before dispensing info instead of going by the encoded resolution of dvds and taking a guess hmm yes, i should have mentioned that it's actually 525 lines only 480 of which are visible with a horizontal frequency of 15.734khz and the pixel clock of nintendo systems being such that each square pixel in the frame buffer is scanned to the screen with a pixel aspect ratio of 8:7 (taking the 256 wide framebuffer + 24 pixels of padding and stretching it to 320). either way dumping the framebuffer of an nes or snes to a giant 320x240 fixed-pixel display would look blocky and wrong because the pixels would be huge and you need to do some non-integer scaling to make it look correct.

Do the same thing on a crt and anything you pick will be as sharp as any other option LCDs are terrible at showing things not at their native resolution. how this compares to audiophiles and vinyl records is beyond me

You don't think blowing up an image from 480p to 1080p might make it look a bit worse than if it wasn't blown up at all? It sounds like you agree with me by saying "scaling process"
