CRT Shader Showcase for RetroArch

In the early days of Emulation, simulating CRT characteristics was achieved by filters that manipulated the produced game image before showing on the screen. However, the result was not very accura…

Quoting myself but I agree.

Nintendo isn't losing a damn thing if you emulate a long dead console but what ever losses they take on Switch and Switch 2, they will certainly pass on the consumer.

Free Emulator Gives Nintendo's Virtual Boy the Color It Never Had

VBoy Color is a free, open-source emulator that adds full color and stereoscopic 3D to the Virtual Boy library on Quest, Windows, Android, and more.

www.gadgetreview.com

I've decided to use it as my main Virtual Boy core.

It has color packs for 16 of the VB's 22 games; the rest are given a four-color palette, somewhat similar to the way the Super Game Boy would colorize unsupported Game Boy games.

If you look below Mario's Tennis does not have a color pack, and it has been given a basic color palette, while Wario Land and Mario's Clash has a color pack, and thus you see more colors and detail.

I think this makes more sense than playing Virtual Boy games in shades of red, you can also play these games in 3D if you'd like.

The recomp scene is on fire

Currently, I have recomps of After Burner Climax, 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, FIFA Street (2012), Fight Night Champion, Midnight Club Los Angeles, and Sonic Unleashed (which I've actually had for a year), and I plan on getting more!

And I'm wondering if this is the new norm for the emulation/retro gaming scene?

If you're talking about emulation from the 1st through 4th generations, it's pretty much been perfected.

Once you hit the 5th Generation, outside of the PS1, emulation gets tricky and gitchy because the hardware gets complicated.

One way to fix that shit is to recompile games from those consoles; the great part is that you will get the classics and notable games, but if you're in love with a fairly rare or lesser-known game, you're probably SOL.

But getting that emulation layer out of the way is always a benefit!
