Why the fuck are VC games so dim? I've never heard anyone mention this shit on here before. It looks awful.

I'd get a refund if Nintendo weren't such jews. Fuck.

Why don't you buy the brightness pack anon? It's only 5.99 plus tip.

It's an anti-seizure filter Nintendo put in their emulator just to cover their ass in case some game could cause a seizure.

It's almost the same brightness but the colors in your edit are off from how it is on the 3ds/wii-u.

Its clearly visibly dimmer. I've compared a Wii U version with the actual NES game and its almost night and day

Very few games back then were made with CRTs in mind.

Supposedly it's a safety measure to avoid seizures in people.

Also, VC games look much brighter through component than HDMI.

There are very small amounts of games you can argue look better with filters. This, Tetris Attack, and Kirby 3.

Also, every single gameboy game looks fucking delicious with Retroarch's Gameboy filter but that's another thing entirely.

Really? I'm surprised. It didn't give me any trouble at all. Was disappointed in the fight to be honest. I thought it was built as a fight you're supposed to win and that's why it didn't show how much HP you had at first, because it was supposed to be ridiculously high and give you an advantage.

Depends on what you consider an issue.
NES VC games on 3DS are also stretched to give a 4:3 aspect ratio. This causes parts of the image to look a bit blurry because the 3DS doesn't have enough pixels to stretch it out properly.

I know this is a falseflag post, but I really hope people don't think like this.

Higan is cycle accurate (i.e. better), but it's a difference you'll only notice in several obscure games. It also started doing gameboys though and it has gotten quite good at it.
>>
>>332160829
If snes9x is doing everything you want it to do, then you may as well stick with that.
However, I'd at least give it a try. It's not like it costs anything after all.

>>332160929
Scanlines ARE prettier. Negative space they introduce serves as a 2D equivalent of anti-aliasing.
>>
>>332160929
>Please tell me I'm not the only one who prefers making a game look prettier when emulating over trying to make it look more "authentic".
It's not even really about it being authentic, it's the fact that most if not all filters are inherently flawed in the way they operate.
