The built-in NTSC filter does not work well with the RetroArch games. KMFDManic made a really good CRT filter that works for RetroArch games. It's an HMOD you can install. Then you just set the NES to CRT mode, and it'll activate.
There were several people involved in this process, not just me. I did a ton of tweaking to get as many Cores functional with it, as possible. There was a ton of testing, involved, cores broken, slow, etc. Where it is at in the current iteration, only a few cores do not work optimally with it. Those ones, simply have 4:3 on for.

The built-in CRT filter smudges the image slightly (consistent with composite or RF) and mutes the color, that's why. KMFDManic's filter doesn't do that.
I altered how filtering works, linear, how scaling works, scanlines, and so on. I must have flashed my system a good 100 times to get the right settings, that I was happy with.

KMFDManic's Filter is da Shiznit!!
Remember, I am not the only one who worked on this! If you are familiar with my mega hmod thread, there will be amazing things to come, this weekend
I got Commodore 64, 3do, and more working
Here is the current setup. My next upload will be crazy with changes. But, a few things I got working in the last week or two, are Pokemon Mini Games, Game & Watch Handheld Simulators, Doom & Quake REAL, etc. And, there will be a few other surprises! One thing I tested, worked out quite nicely. I will not say what it is til I post it. Here is the link. Remember, if you update RetroArch, you must first Uninstall the CRT Hack, THEN, uninstall retroarch hmod, then reinstall retroarch hmod, then reinstall crt hack. Otherwise, lots of goodies in this set! And, the set of cores has been exponentionally expanded upon, throughout the last week. I plan on posting the fully updated core set probably by Mon am

I've installed Retroarch as a module and it's working. How do I change the keys Start+Select for the Retroarch menu to work after a 5 second delay? I found the options within retroarch to change the keys but setting a delay doesn't appear in the menu. There will be small children using the system and we'd rather not come back to find the system needing reconfig. Thanks!
I would suggest installing the "password" hack. It will require the Konami Contra code to be inputted to gain access to the system. If you are worried about the kids, the code will stop them. Keep in mind, the konami code also needs entered when "flashing", etc the system. It is locked, til konami code is inputted.
