quoting seems to don't work, so...
"I've tried GBA on the PSP and it is fast. But sorry the bilinear filtering looks like SHIT! "
-you can always turn BF off.... BF on gba suits my taste better so i leave it turned on.
"Scaling isn't noticeable if you are blind. It is so fucking blurry it is almost unplayable. "
-it is scaling that it is so blurry and makes you angry? bullshit. scaling is noticeable but barely. when you apply BF filter - even less. and scaling generally has nothing to lcd lags if there are any...
When you're playing GBA game on emu
are you playing or are you carefully counting pixels and checking if they are exact square because gp2x gba emu is so slow that you would have plenty of time to do so.
" I don't know how you people think blurry graphics look good. It looks so blurry that it is like you have a severe case of cataracts."
-de gustibus non est disputandum...
" You keep saying the PSP is great because it makes things look fuzzy that just doesn't make sense. All emus on the PSP look blurry due to the stretching and stupid filtering caused by that non standard weird resolution."
-wrote my personal feelings about so blamed lcd in psp and that it really isn't as bad as people were talking. In fact - i like it better than gp2x screen. Strange? maybe. You do not have to agree. And PSP isn't great because of screen.
It's because of better and faster emulation. Simple. And I do not count commercial games many of which are excellent quality (OTRC2C, Lumines, Loco Roco).
"Everything here I played looks MUCH sharper on the GP2X as you can actually play it without that stupid blurr "
- i don't blame your opinion and don't forget that in psp you can always turn BF off if you don't like it...
"Plus many NeoGeo games are 320X224 not 304x224. I like how you picked the resolution that doesn't fit the GP2X screen as well to make a point for the PSP
"
-whatever -
I wrote that it cover gp2x lcd perfectly (neogeo has less pixels than cps so it will always look better on 320x240 screen. CPS has 384x224 and on gp2x will be always squeezed (or scaled
) or you'll never see those 64pixels ....
" Then again you bring up that stupid blurr filter saying blurry and stretched to the non original 16:9 is better than the original 4:3 at 1:1."
-i liked it more, you can also play 4:3 on psp....
"Sorry but Neo Geo looks MUCH nicer and sharper at 1:1 on the GP2X."
-sharper - yes. but also slower, worse sounding, with lags. Remember arcade neo geo machines with CRT tubes? Did they had lcd-type exact square pixels? NO. Did they had some blur and minimal ghosting? YES.
So - that fuckin' psp blur-type lcd screen with that ugly BF actually makes neo geo games MORE REAL. and I like it better.
"The PSP has more colors? Kind of irrelevant when you are emulating a system like NeoGeo that only had 4096 colors itself. How is having more unused colors a bit advantage?"
Yeah it is irrevelant. But psp produces somehow images with better colors, maybe they're using different palettes?
"I have a 1.5 PSP and it sits collecting dust. If it had a decent screen resolution for emulators I would probably use the PSP mostly. I notice the ghosting on everything not just SNES. It is the same screen and doesn't magically fix itself for everything other than SNES."
-yeah it is the same screen but every other emu adresses lcd differently. and that;s the problem - to catch correct lcd timings to kick trails off.
" It is a hardware issue. You just don't notice it somehow, but it doesn't suprise me considering how much you like blurry resized images."
It
IS an issue. But not so severe as many ppl thinks. I do not know how one psp emu can be fast but barely playable because of trails, while other can be fast and very playable because trails - if they are any - are barely unnoticeably.
Besides - arcade CRT machines were always blurry... (yes, you can play 4:3 with BF blur on psp )
Do not be so angry, DaveC... gp2x is a good machine. I really like it and I still think that psp doesn't have this "emulation soul"... To be honest i was a bit shocked that Sony's toy was better when it comes to emulate, really. I though that gp2x emu's would be better that psp ones...
But at present time - Sony PSP emulates more major systems better.
And that's true. Sad, but true...
