Message: [QUOTE="Vexicrypt, post: 188610, member: 5448"] I've spent countless of hours toying with PS1 emulators, Duckstation in particular, with the same exact dilemma in mind. I also have a need to capture footage which by itself also raises the question: "What people want to see? Do they want the original look from back in the day or the best you can get with all the bells and whistles?". One day I noticed how a lot of content creators capture footage with original hardware using upscalers and thought that I actually prefer that crispy but still pixely look so I desided to replicate it with Duckstation as close as possible. That means running the games in native resolution and *then* upscaling the output which doesnt work the same with an emulator but you can get pretty close. So my go to setting are: whichever renderer you like (it doesnt matter that much) -> Native resolution -> Texture/Sprite Filtering set to Nearest Neighbor -> and then Scaling (which is the most important part) also set to Nearest Neighbor. I prefer Geometry Correction ON as well, because I have no particular nostalgia for that wobblyness, I just find it distracting. Usually I dont use CRT filters because they dont work like those found in different upscalers (that implement them in the picture itself and not just tape it over the screen), however with some games, especially with pixel art, I sometimes use a plugin you can download, called "CRT Guest NTSC" that gives me that authentic CRT look that I sometimes long for. In general I dont like upscaled PS1 games that much because there is not much to upscale in the first place, which is completely opposite with PS2 games, where you can see all the details that were buried under the hardware limitations. Also upscaled 3D models tend to look weird and out of place in games with pre-rendered backgrounds. Anyway sorry for the essaying, its just a topic that I'm very passionate about ::cirnoshrug [/QUOTE]
