I've been playing 90's Nintendo games like Chrono Trigger because I was too busy in the 90's to do anything other than PC gaming. Now I feel like I'm still missing out because I'm playing them on my collection of retro Handhelds like Retroid, Anbernic and Miyoo Mini all of which are LCD and don't have the horsepower to do full crt emulation.
That pixel art on CRT is amazing. I had no idea. I started computing on CRT (technically my first computer class was on punch cards) and always hated it for the misconvergence and geometry distortion.
And this is the reason why I use pixel filters like HQ4X, because it's the closest you'll get to how the games actually looked back in the day, with the added bonus of a much increased resolution.
IMO if you can see the pixels, you're not playing vintage games the right way. You couldn't see them then, so why should you see them now? CRT filters are getting much better too if you hate the HQX look.
See if they can handle a ntsc filter, thats where most of the magic is. beautiful analog noise!
