I started up Snatcher last night for the first time, and it's pretty incredible.

Looks clean but you are definitely stretched. I've found the PCSX2 built in screenshot tool does that when running at the preset IR and using widescreen settings.

huh weird, I had the widescreen working before..
not sure why those images ended up stretched

It does the same thing for me the only workaround I could find was using a custom res.

What I typically do is go full screen and just use the print screen function.

yep got it working now, thanks for pointing that out

Mind all the other nonsense, and the second monitor, lol.. I haven't figured out how to take real nice screens quite yet. Very new to the emulation game.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Always nice to see mario galaxy it's art style holds up so dang well it could easily pass as a "made for HD" game.

If you're using print screen then play PCSX2 in full screen mode and just cut out what's on the second monitor when you paste it into paint.

are you doing anything special with the lighting besides per pixel?

Had the same problem with the second monitor, Bandicam let's you screenshot what specific area you want so you don't have to edit it. Also alt+enter to fullscreen the game.

Finally got Xenosaga =)
1920x1080 8x MSAA 8x AF. I finally quit using massive IR this seems to run better and produce just as good results.

Hey guys I've noticed a lot of "official threads" and screenshot threads often go to version 2 version 3 etc.

Is there a certain amount of time/posts where it's normal to create the next thread?

400 pages at 50ppp or 200 pages at 100ppp. 20k posts.

 

[bomblord1]

400 pages at 50ppp or 200 pages at 100ppp. 20k posts.

Thanks.

Alright guys/gals, I'm going to be going through the pages here soon and picking up some some featured shots to put in the OP. I'm also going to pretty it up to be a bit more inline with other similar threads. If there's certain shots you want to see let me know or if you want to submit more just post like normal.

 

[bomblord1]

Op has been updated I chose some featured shots from the thread (and credited the authors).

Some information about my thought process for the OP shots.
1. They had to follow the rules (no shots without listed settings etc).
2. I only chose 3 as the thread rules are 3 per post.
3. I did not put more than 1 shot from the same platform or game. I want the op to reflect the diversity of the systems and games present in this thread it would be boring to see all SMG shots or all Wii shots.

I will update it the shots from time to time now using those same criteria any shot you post that abides by the rules will be considered

I also added some of the more popular emulators and links to them in the OP now. I know I missed some please link me to the ones you use if the platform is not listed. (1 per platform I don't want to confuse people). Redid the layout. And a few other minor tweaks.

Thank youuuu. This thread has been stagnant for a few days glad someone added some new shots . And some gorgeous ones at that! The eggman looks surprisingly good.

Is that with a widescreen patch/cheat/hack? Looks great.

I mean, the majority of that screenshot is comprised of just 2 very high res textures. It looks great but it seems like a silly representation of the game. Just lay 2 jpegs on top of each other lol

 

[bomblord1]

Rogue Leader, 6xIR, HD Textures

Thanks looks great! I didn't realize people had already created HD texture packs for this since the game was only recently made playable.

The Last Story (SweetFX)

 

[Boulotaur2024]

^ Nice The Last Story shots

With nullDC optimized for Shenmue

Does it still have visual glitches? (Seeing through cracks of the hair namely)

With the build posted above I don't think so. If it still does, you can give it a shot with Demul. It works very nicely as well. Plus it lets you scale to x6 the native res

 

[Ostinatto]

Do i need the wiimote + nunchuck to play xenoblade dolphin?

Unless someone updated that version of NullDC since Christmas when I played it again the hair glitch is definitely still there.

Was that your shot on the dolphin homepage?

Wow with those textures it could almost pass for pikmin 3 on the zoomed out shots. Not so much on the closeups

How do you get SweetFX to work on Dolphin and does it impact performance much?

Majora's Mask (PJ64+GlideN64 v1.0+ReShade DOF/AO+HD Textures@Native 1080p)

That looks really good but the super detailed textures almost look out of place.

you can find SweetFX here
it won't impact performance much.

Pikmin 2 (replace some textures in game)

On the complete other side of the spectrum as those dank handheld emulator shots, Dolphin + AO. It's finally happening.

AO?

AO?

Ambient occlusion.

Here's a comparison from Nvidias site.

It adds an approximation of realistic shadows based on depth.
