That's the kind of thing that companies sometime would advertise as "totally redone graphics" and sell to us again at full price.

The title should be "Oooops! All Borderlands"

Godbless you for these. I thought it was just my nostalgia, but the fact is playing without shaders on a modern monitor makes the PS1 games look worse than they actually looked on an 90's/00's CRT tv.

I freaking love emulation. It makes all of my PSX games look fresh and new. It's also great not being tethered to old hardware no longer serviceable. The production values and quality of game play found in this era of gaming was absolutely golden and deserves to be preserved, kept alive and playing!

[dylancourville]

It nails the look of a PS2 port for a PSX game that came out mid generation.

Awesome video! Using your enhancement settings + CRT Royale shader and it's really nailing the look of my old PS1 games. Thanks so much! 🏆

[tatecheddar]

Never really messed around with any of the shaders other than CRT filters. Those older cartoony games look incredible with the cell shading filter. I may just start using that.

[lukashenrique]

Wow, ever since I got into retrogaming I've been able to mess around the configs of emulators, but knew of nothing like this. One filter and boom, works like magic and I love it!

[KudaGaming]

Holy cow, the games looks really cool with this settings, gold content man.

I prefer just upscaling the resolution imo and adding widescreen to the few games the textures doesnt dissapear on the sides. Some shaders may look ok in certain games but other ones ruins the artstyle imo.

Nice video man! Really helped me, I was using PCSX ReArmed and that one sucks. Thanks a lot! 😁😎👍

[DESTROJACK]

Wow amazing. I was thinking like "ok maybe it's because I was a kid that the game was looking rly better on tv " than on my emulator. I fact it was just a matter of graphic.

Thx

[SKrad]

This is straight up a remasterer of ps1 games.
I'd like to see diablo with this

[luissss]

Thank you for that. Best regards from Poland

[ryanbartlett]

Thanks. Love smooth ink outlined cartoon look much better than jagged pixels.

[kyledupont]

OK I'm impressed wow. Definatley going to try this on some Ps1 games

[FFans]

Thank you very much! Now, I'm playing "Formula One 99" in 1280x720 pixel 16:9 resolution.

[resborg]

i do not have these options in my retroarch

[akilezredfild]

Top de mais meu amigo, que venha mais vídeos assim.
da para fazer isso também em outros sistemas? ex: Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, N64 e mais outros?

[MikeyDunksMusic]

WOOOW!!! Looks so GORGEOUS! 👌 This is the most perfect remaster like settings I've seen thus far. DEFINITELY going to try it. Would certainly breathe new life into my beloved classic ps1 games. MAN i wish they would make standalone converters like these for consoles. :( At any rate, THANK YOU!!! Great vid. Subbed!!!
