why do smoothing filters for emulators of 2d systems exist
@behold3r exactly how it was meant to look like
@DarkWitchClaire I love it when people are all “old console games are supposed to look like a blurry mess instead of actual pixels!” and it’s like... the cover art of the original “black box” NES games are just a Google search away. -_-
@DarkWitchClaire I though because graphics sometimes made use of the blurring to fake more colours or transparency. IIRC a lot of PC-88 games look like shit without CRT blur or something approaching that.
@BatElite it's different than a crt filter, i mean the filters that look like someone smeared vaseline on their tv
@DarkWitchClaire No clue in that case. Easier to do than a CRT one?
@BatElite probably, but crt filters don't seem hard to do (sort of) right and the smooth filters look horrible compared to regular pixel scaling
@DarkWitchClaire *turns on a smoothing filter and stretches the game to 16:9* ah, retro gaming
