Solid Sonic 01/24/22 9:36:44 AM #10:	The problem is I think if the devs are focused on exceeding they aren't spending the time to tune the emulator for matched performance. It's really one or the other. --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. <cite>Solid Sonic posted [p:962031048] in Should gam...

kirbymuncher 01/24/22 9:52:50 AM #11:	Cheater87 posted... Exceed, more options are always better, if you don't want to use them don't. if you only pick one of these from the poll, that's not "more options", it's only 1 option I think having a emulator focused very closely on emulation accuracy is important, but also I don't think most people will want to play on it so probably the best solution is just two different emulators - one for archival/records purposes and one that people actually use. even then I think it's hard to really capture the original experience because of physical differences in the displays people use nowadays. there's tons of comparison images out there, I personally like this one https://twitter.com/CRTpixels/status/1408451743214616587 there's also this tweet, which I think is my favourite demonstration of emulation going to extreme lengths to replicate the original exprience https://twitter.com/gosokkyu/status/1441274988166668291 --- THIS IS WHAT I HATE A BOUT EVREY WEBSITE!!
