ROM Hack Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time - Graphic mod

[cucholix]

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time - Graphic mod
It's based on @ecl0674 work, I just tweak:
Increased min resolution threshold to 720p (docked)
Increased max resolution threshold to 900p (docked)
Fixed 720p resolution (handheld)
Changed TAAU to FXAA to avoid blurriness and ghosting side effect, as a result there's bit of artifacts in shadows (docked | handheld)
Increased brightness

I take no credits for this mod, you could consider visit 4pda forums and try his own mod, it has more changes that I didn't include in order to keep the resolution higher with no performance loss.
Use max OC

No pics this time, too lazy
Comparing pics are welcome

Hey nice work! Is there a way to change it back to taau in docked? The reconstruction to 900p when it doesn’t it hit it would do a lot on my tv compared to fxaa. Btw is everything stock (graphics, draw distance, etc…) in the game besides resolution or did you tweak anything?

Everything is stock except draw distance, resolution, and gamma which are increased. I don’t plan on edit this game anymore, in fact iirc I deleted the TAAU settings from the config file.

Oh that’s a shame but I understand. Since you increased draw distance would that require to bump the cpu clocks up? I usually have it to 1.4 ghz in games.

Yeah, you definitely need to OC the CPU at least, not only for increased draw distance but because the resolution min threshold has increased too, I have mine to max.
BTW eclipse from 4pda forums has a Crash 4 mod that works around TAA, I avoid TAA like the plague I just can’t stand that soap blurry effect on the object edges, I use the mClassic with my Switch so I don’t have major problems with jaggies.

Yeah, I feel the same way about it lol I hate taa too but my tv has a good ai sharping tool that’s cleans the image a lot but when I tried doom with fxaa it was too pixelated even with the 1080p patch on my tv till I changed it back to taa. Imo even with fxaa it looks a lot cleaner with more jaggys and I tried looking that forum site up but I couldn’t find anything so I won’t bother with it. It still looks better so I appreciate you for making the file for everyone.

Dont mean to bump, but I cant seem to find eclipse's mod or at least a link that works for it @cucholix

You need a 4pda forums account, it’s a russian forum.
