    Yeah, but that window would be a few mm in todays resolutions. Stretch it to playable size and add some filters and it’s fine.

    Btw. left image has less pixels, that’s cheating.

      I don’t think it does, look lower in the thread, I posted a pic I took myself of my CRT. There is a similar “how do so few pixels have this much definition” effect on the trees and grass.

      Yup! Not many people know the impact of those filters tho. When I was emulating as a kid I hated CRT filters because I just saw them as noise (which many arguably are, it’s not trivial making a good CRT filter). Also if you used one of those pixel edge smoothing filters (like I used to) it would be even further from the intended look.

      Of course I’m not the fun police, I believe everyone should be free to run their games as they please. I just find it fascinating that there even is such a big difference!
