/vr/ - Retro Games

Nope, I like seeing them brighter and more vibrant than they originally were. Totally agree on the SP though. The main reason I kept a GBC and wormlight around for many years was because GBC games look like garbage on the SP screen. The opposite of emulation brightness, they look dark and weirdly saturated.

>>5729104
No because backlit screens display GB and GBA colors more accurately than a frontlit or unlit screen.

Something to note is that some GBC games use brighter palettes when played on a GBA because of the OG GBA's dark screen. So if you play those specific games on a GBA SP 101, you'll see washed out colors because the GBC is using the GBA palette instead of the GBC palette.

I don't think you understand how light works.

>>5729212
You're the one who doesn't understand how light works.

>>5729225
No. One glows, the other doesnt. It's literally impossible to make a backlit screen have colours accurate to a non-lit screen.

>>5729307
I guess the color of everything is more accurate when it's pitch-black, or looking through a dirty window then.

>>5729184
>backlit screens display GB and GBA colors more accurately than a frontlit or unlit screen.
Accurate to the code yes, but not to the developer's intentions. The original GBC screen is washed out and colors chosen in the game's code are extra saturated to compensate for this. If you use back lit screens or emulate without compensating the saturation back down, you're seeing the wrong colors.

>>5729104
Considering the GBC and GBA didn't have contrast controls, no I don't. What a dumb question.

>>5729324
Did you misunderstand the point that badly or are you just acting like a little bitch now because I had to explain basic physics to you?

>>5729104
I use meme filters.

>>5729384
>Not using scanlines with smoothing.

Fail.

>>5729334
>doesn't know the difference between contrast and saturation
>calls other people dumb

>>5729390
Scanlines on Game Boy games are inauthentic, soulless, and not what the developers intended.

>>5729390
Don't worry anon, I've got you covered.

>>5729415
Spit on me, but this is nice.

>>5729415
Personally I prefer 16:9 fullscreen with a simple bilinear filter

>>5729475
Hell yeah, brother!

I like this too, but I also unironically like the super eagle filter.

The backlit screen is how the colors are supposed to appear. Not my fault I can't take you seriously because you're retarded.

>>5729516
Truly the way it was meant to be played :)

>>5729415
Looks better than the remake

>>5729516
When super eagle and sai came out i was floored by how it looked in comparison to original sprites. I used to use it all the time on RPGs with fuckhuge enemies but I'm kind of disappointed that it took over 17 years for AI to improve upon the idea but its still not what I would consider to be perfect.

>>5729607
That AI upscaling shit almost always butchers the image. I think it only works with really simple shapes and textures.

>>5729551
Even better than how it was meant.

>>5729607
Yeah I like it too, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. I saw some FFIX stuff done with it and looked incredible.

>>5729384

Looks genuinely nice.

>>5729551
That background gradient stands out too much without scanlines.

>>5729534
>The backlit screen is how the colors are supposed to appear.
Wrong, the colors were selected based on how they would look when displayed by the GBC screen. Knowing the screen was dark and not backlit, games intentionally used very bright and saturated colors because they would end up dim and subdued when viewed on the console's actual screen. Displaying the exact RGB color value on a backlit screen is more accurate to the colors being sent to the screen, but it is not accurate to the intended output from the screen when viewed by human eyes.

The gamboy is a gimped mine NES with screen crunch and shit tier games. The developers can suck my big fat cock.

>>5729415

>>5729104
Post more pictures with adjusted colors, anon.

I apply color correction but I'm not too picky.

>>5729780
The developers had no choice but to use bright, vivid colors on GBC and GBA games. Otherwise they would be too dark and hard to see. That doesn't mean those bright, vivid colors aren't the developer's intentions.

>>5729415
>>5729481
Stop that

>>5731751
>it was the exact colors the artists chose for the screen literally everyone was viewing them on but it was not their intention!!

>>5731016
on the left is with the color "vibrance" set to 45
on the right is the default setting, which is 128 and looks nothing like it did on the GBC's screen
Left still isn't perfect, I find the yellow's look a tad too green but it's a hell of a lot closer.

>>5731751
This argument could be made for consoles that hook up to different TVs since they'll vary in how they look and it can be hard to know the exact intention, but the Gameboy Color literally has an integrated display that the developers designed around, creating a single homogenous viewing experience for all players. So no, I don't think that argument holds up for the GBC.

>>5731751
you contradict yourself so bad that I'm going to assume that this is all a ruse.

I like the Pocket one the best. Never owned one myself but the color palette is most appealing. I wish there was an overlay that looked that good for GBC, but the GBC one looks awful for some reason.

>looking for an authentic experience
>plays on emulator
why people do this? if you want the most authentic experience there is then just buy a gbc and a flashcart, they are cheap as fuck nowadays.

if you play on emulators then just use all the improvements it offers, including a good bright color palette

>>5729104
which one is the closest to the real GBC's RGB values? left?

>>5741239
>if you play on emulators then just use all the """""improvements""""" it offers, including a """""good""""" bright color palette
Yikes.

This. Removing hardware limitations is soulless. Only a fellow basedboy would understand.
