    Tbf these games were made with crtvs in mind and crtvs blurred the edges making things look smoother. They only look so blocky nowadays because newer tvs have better resolution so you can clearly see all the blocky edges.

        It’s a habit I picked up from my dad lol

        He always called them crtvs because he thought the “tube” part of cathode ray tube was unnecessary when using the acronym. You know it’s a tube because what else would a cathode ray be in?

      Emulators have filters for that, though.

      Btw, is there something similiar for wine? Not vkbasalt, because dxvk can create issues with too big address space in older games.

      Composite connections more than CRTs. An RGB SCART connection reveals so many sins.

      I think it depends… Definitely with 2d games, but for instance, the heads and fists in Goldeneye (N64) always looked blocky

        Playstation textures used a lot of dithering. Composite connections blurred them out, but they look awful on modern displays.
