Those look great
Honestly surprised at the lack of this game in this thread
Something surprising about this game most HUD elements (aside from portraits) seem to render independent of resolution
For example the games minimap is incredibly sharp at any res.
Performance is all over the place though. I cannot run this game 4X IR at a playable FPS but 2.5x with no AA runs great in most situations except for some completely random ones. Disable EFB to ram would fix this but it's needed to make the game work properly.

You using an HD HUD? Looks pretty good overall. I don't like the ultra dirty look of Twilight princesses textures but that's just the way the game was designed.
No real need to use an HD replacement for the HUD in Twilight Princess, as it scales up nicely. The textures are abysmal, really goes to show how smart a move WW's artstyle was for this engine. Twilight Princess can look horrifying at times.
Hmm the B, A, 2, and hearts look way too round.
Anyways, I have some Nocturne shots. They are nothing impressive, but still.
I have more, but I don't want to break the rules of the thread.
Looks like you're stretching a 4:3 image to widescreen. The game shouldn't look like that.

They're probably polygons.
It is way, way more likely that it is an HD ui texture mod.That would be a waste of resources
He said it wasn't. Maybe they're vector images?
You're right, that's my bad. I had thought it was another person responding.
I actually dumped the textures to check and it turns out that relative to most Wii games, the UI textures are just sort of higher res than needed. They do likely get slightly scaled to be viewed appropriately at 1920x1080, but not enough to be too stretched or rough looking.

Those are absolutely massive for a wii UI!
Very, very playable. There are the rare gimmick stages like rolling the ball or the wave race where you'll have to change the controls, but otherwise everything plays great on a 360 controller.
Mapping IR pointer to the right stick and setting it only visible when left trigger is held lets you basically have full pointer control.
Great stuff!
Soul Calibur, Dreamcast, NullDC, 4xMSAA, 8xAF
Haven't seen any Dreamcast shots in this thread yet glad you fixed that.

This looks fantastic, games with a cartoony art style look best upscaled, I guess it's due to the simpler textures

Is it possible to play twilight princes in widescreen with a controller?

Looks good. Don't know why but mines is a blurry mess >.<

Can't beat RetroArch with the GTU shader for smeared N64 authenticity
Also about wipeout, yeah the widescreen hack is cool, It's not perfect of course but still
I notice you use the default CRT-Royale, don't you find it too busy? I tone it down a bit (mostly mask type 2, mask sampling 2 and I add the image adjustment shader to add some luminance)
BTW, if I'm posting too much let me know, this thread is just exciting
These are probably the most accurate N64 emulated shots I have ever seen, seeing that smearing effect really brought back memories of playing on my old CRT, thank you.
God damn, Polyphony has always been a master in the lightning repartment.
Here are some shots on Dolphin I took with Widescreen hack in a Triple screen environment and also some normal shots:
And not a screenshot, but my Triple screen setup with Ocarina of Time, emulation allows all sorts of wacky things, I love it.
Yes.

Blackthorne in DOSBox, crt.d3d.br shader. Blizzard's cutscenes were beautiful even back then.

It is not stretched, the emulator is set to keep the original aspect ratio. Edit: I think Nocturne supports 16:9 as well as 4:3
Have you tried setting the resolution to 2x or 3x? Native resolution looks really blurry and ugly here, too.

Enthusia still looks good
wow wow wow
Trust me, it doesn't. I have the disc right here. The PS2 Classics version on PS3 doesn't have a widescreen mode either. Even disregarding the game's options, the character models in your screens look really squished compared to the version I've been playing in 4:3.
edit: The emulated version supports 16:9 but only with a widescreen hack/patch. Here's an example:

The 3D looks fine in this video but it's definitely squished in your screenshots.

Damn how is the game running for you? I can't get it to run well and look right. Still suffering from that weird splotch issue in the jungles. I tried for like a half hour fiddling with settings but nothing doing.
Some Dolphin Shots.
Sonic Colors
Smash Smash Bros. Brawl
Sin & Punishment 2
Sonic colors shots always blow my mind
Yeah I think Sonic Colors is very close to Mario Galaxy in the visual fidelity. The models look great and the art style is amazing.
Pretty nice is it playable?
Yep!
With regular config + speedhack settings it gets an almost locked 30fps Dipping to 29 and maybe 28 if there are loads of enemies.
With that plus cheatcode it can get an almost locked 60fps.
That's pretty awesome it amazes me how optimized some emulators are.
PPSSPP is truly awesome. Though, the retroarch core won't play some games for me which I find strange as it plays perfectly in the normal emulator.
Also, ppsspp will only work on Linux on this computer. Windows' OpenGL implimation does not support the hardware on this laptop so, the emulator won't even load. They're working on Directx version but it is really far behind last time I checked.
