Scanline screenshot thread. Because 240p is all the p's I need.

Just a quick snap of Sakura getting a boot up the chops.

Feel free to post super high-res photos, people... I think this might be my new desktop wallpaper thread. So much sexy up in here.

Also, I wouldn't mind if some people quoted their favourites that'd be desktop-worthy ;)

Love it. I haven't played Chrono Trigger on an actual SNES since I was in 3rd grade, but for whatever reason, it just looks more "right" than any release I've played since.

Yea I just picked it up because I was sick of the DS version's squished 8:7 aspect ratio.

So I got a CMVS this week and I've been really impressed with the picture quality.

Here are some shots of Aero Fighters 2. I'll add more with each new MVS cart I get or start playing.

CMVS + XRGB Mini via an IPS LCD:

Here's a few shots of 3rd Strike running directly from the CPS3 board via supergun made by shmups member RGB into an XRGB Mini set at 720p with scanlines.

God this game is so gorgeous.

Not as gorgeous as NG or 2I though. Backgrounds got downgraded AF. Strangely, 2I on CPS3 also had a setting for proper widescreen mode but that was axed in 3S for some reason.

Aw man, so good, how much does a nice supergun cost these days?

I have no idea why they didn't keep more of the 2I stages in 3S honestly. Memory constraints I guess.

2I does have some better backgrounds, but the entire aesthetic of 3S is better imo. Plus, that widescreen probably never should have been there in the first place. It just looks weird.


Top is normal, bottom is "wide".

CMVS vs. MAME
I don't have Neo Geo version arcade games running on MAME, so only had a version of KOF 2003 on MAME to compare to my Consolized MVS. Left is CMVS, right is GroovyMAME. Both look good with the biggest difference being that CMVS is brighter.

 
Great shots on the BVM

edit: crappy phone pic of the Gunman Clive Game Boy proof of concept running on Super Game Boy 2 over RGB on a PVM

Erm..that's because that screen is displaying wide in 4:3.
Needs to be stretched to 16:9 to fill the entire screen without things looking fat.


We have at least 4 between PVM and BMV CRT's at work that haven't been used in years.
A couple were thrown in the basement. I should just grab them and take them home.

Nice pix, dude! Thx for posting. :+

16:9 doe...

16:9 video zoom of 4:3 gameplay. I bet he had to do it so close up to get such good footage. And one side of each clip is out of focus due to shallow DOF and slight camera tilt away from the screen. I have to do weird stuff like this myself to get decent photos of BVM gameplay.

I've read that games made for HD should be played on HDTVs, but I can't always agree! Freedom Planet looks way better than fixed pixel on two different CRTs I tested it on! Sorry for all the duck shots, but he photographed well. :)]

Ah, yes.
That's more like it.

Tons of (all ?) modern 'retro' games would benefit from this.

Yeah, I'd love to see a bunch of "retro" titles on really good CRTs, not faked filters. Shovel Knight, Hotline Miami, I'm sure there's stacks of others.

I've always wanted to get a PC to output to my CRT to play games like Freedom Planet on it. Never worked out how to do it though with the best input on the TV being RGB scart.

I'm sure there's a number of homebrew options available, that seems to be the main business model for these sorts of things like scanline generators etc.

Picked up a BVM. Still waiting on BNC adapters, so S-Video will have to do.

"Wide" looks "weird" in your comparison because you're displaying it at 4:3 rather than 16:9. The image is anamorphically compressed.

Yeah, I mean, I know that. Maybe I should have been more clear about my setup. I intend to use a Dell P1130 monitor, which has a native resolution of 2048 x 1536 @ 80Hz. At 21 inches, there are no real scanlines to speak of, so I'd like to find a way to generate them either by software or using some kind of box. While I'm not a huge fan of huge ass scanlines, I find the image quality of old games very much improved with some mild ones. More than anything else, this is why I lust after the XM29 so much (that and the ability to take VGA video with no issues).

I know that some modern CRT monitors were able to run at real 240p using some frequence trickery, but I'm not sure if that is going to be my case.

Create custom resolution (3840x480) using this tool. Then configure RetroArch (it works with Mame too but you'd have to look it up how to configure it) using this template add tvout/interlacing shader and you are set.

More use full info here. Look at the comments section.
