Message: [QUOTE="syntheticErik, post: 2609, member: 556"] In my opinion it depends, on the system, the era, sometimes game to game. As a blanket statement I would say [I]most [/I]fully 2D games benefit from a filter on a modern display. My opinion is literally the opposite though, I go straight to smoothing filters and completely bypass CRT filters and faux scanlines. Most fully 3D games benefit far more from resolution scaling and anti-aliasing than filtering, I very rarely feel the need to apply an additional filter on a PSX game at a 3X(or beyond) upscale. It gets weird though, situational like I said. Take a game like Mario Kart 64 for instance, full 3D environment, 2D sprites. There's a fine balance between upscaling to get the environment looking crisp, and filtering to get the characters looking smooth. As for favorites I'm pretty basic, I just start with a system specific border and shader from the Duimon Mega Bezel pack, then work backwards from there to turn off the scanlines and curvature as a starting point, then tweak from there on a per system/per game basis.
