      For me scanlines are almost like "anti aliasing" for strong pixel style games.

        Did somebody manage to get a nice image out of mupen64plus+Glide?

        lr-Glupen (sadly it's dead) looks good, but mupen looks somewhat blurry and the aspect ratio seems off, as I described here.

          Have you ever tried the video smooth option? If you haven't then you really should give it a try. The games will look way better on a HD TV. Go to the main retroarch.cfg file and enable video_smooth and set it on true. I'm surprised no one mentioned this because if you combine this with a shader it will look amazing.

            @PetroRie It won't affect shaders, which control this setting independently.
