Thanks for building my order so quickly! Now get it over here - I'm waiting!!
(yes you weirdos I am being facetious)

That's awesome! Well done, sir.

@Capeman that is wonderful. What a great setup. Brings back many memories. I remember using an old black and white TV for my Commodore 64 because our colour set had broken. Great times. This really is a super retro setup.

cool idea! but i'm afraid i don't see scanlines, even in your photo. what are your viewport settings?

@dankcushions I’m not running a pvm by any means, consumer sets don’t make them as apparent as pro screens, but if you look closely at the image of mega man to the right in the solid gray of the building he’s standing in front of you can see the lines go across the otherwise solid color. (You might need to stand back a bit)
I spent a ton of time on each system getting the viewport settings correct, lots of them have wonky vertical line counts. After checking each system individually and adjusting per the systems specs, I’m getting a super solid non-jittery progressive image on screen from every system with no vertical screen tearing. It’s worlds of difference from the default interlaced output.
Arcade was the worst, I had to check per game to make sure I wasn’t getting screen tearing and set custom configurations for over half the games that didn’t adhere to the defaults that I set.
Handhelds didn’t work out because upping to the proper screen res meant I had to line triple vs line double and it never ended up looking good, so this setup doesn’t play gameboy or gba. Womp womp...
I zoomed in and drew in guides to better point out the effect

@dankcushions I can post a Dropbox link to my full config setup if you want to try it out

Very impressive

@Capeman hi, what is the name of the theme (skin) which is on the video? Tanks
-
@dimetrius It’s not a specific theme, I just modified the regular “simple” theme that was was default to emulationstation (before carbon became the default)

@Capeman Hi, please share your settings to make the theme look like yours. Thank you very much
