Ok so I bought a second hand PSP for few euro
I always have been told that a great GBA emulator would be a PSP rather than a Nintendo DS
So I downloaded and installed gpSP
The resolution is so damn awful. I love pixel style games but c'mon it's impossible to play.

Downscaled size hurts my eyes
Normal size is just an envelope stamp

Filtered looks blurry as hell and non-filtered looks totally wrong

How to improve it?

First of all use scaled 3:2, not 16:9! Another setting you should change is screen filtering. Disable screen filtering. All it does is blur the pixels which makes games looks worse imo. With those 2 settings GBA games should look decent.

Then, what's left is to manually scale the display. Like slaphappygamer said, try something like 80% and move from there until everything looks right.

Just make sure to have the latest GBA emulator. You can find it here

    Or in general tbh, outside of my family. It's not that I'm not a romantic person (I actually am), it's just that I haven't found the right person yet.

    @_Ruri_, I dont like the throwback theme at all
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Xdqwerty, I love it, it's so cool, like, old school, reminds me of the old internet. Just wished I didn't lose my eyesight because of it lol. It'd be great if a Throwback (Dark) theme were added

    @Xdqwerty, Ooh, pretty cool, good luck! Touhou music is the best. I don't know anything about modding so it's pretty cool.
