Error messages received: No errors, but I am looking for help configuring my video settings using lr-snes9x2010. I have attached an image of the settings and an image of the game. I do realize this is a 10 year old Pi 2B that a friend just gave me, but I was expecting a touch better image. This is Donkey Kong Country. Could the issue just be poor quality ROM?

Any help is appreciated and I am happy to most any more information needed. Thank you

What's wrong with the game image you have ? From the screenshot it's not obvious what could be wrong. What would be a 'better image' for you ?

@mitu I just felt like it's way more pixelated than what I would have thought it should be. Certainly not nearly what it was off the original console, but that was to be expected.

I don't think it is, but you can bump the resolution if you can, so RetroArch can scale the image. You can also enable smoothing in the video options from the configuration editor or apply a smoothing shader.

@mitu Thank you, that's helpful. I will try that when I am home.
