Hello guys!
First of all, I have no intentions to offend anyone
And, additionally, I must praise all the (really) incredible work the shader's creators have done for the emulation community (and happy users around the globe).
But I saw this thread and wanted to give my contribution...
Some months ago, I was struggling daily with my head in order to find "the perfect shader for my taste". I spent much (but think "much") hours testing, trying, thinking etc. about the really nice effects the available shaders give to us, the much better images they generate. And in the (very) few moments I PLAYED the games (well, it should be the priority ) I always had that feeling of "well, but this game will be EVEN better with THAT shader", and here I go...
So, at some point I just realize: I'm just testing things, and completely forgot the MAIN reason I spend time with this: to play and have fun.
So, I just leave behind all my shaders tests and now just play with the "natural resources" - of course, if we can set a higher internal resolution, it's quite fine
Again, it's just a matter of taste and this is just mine. I don't want to disencourage anyone to don't use the shaders. My point is remember that the main goal is to play and have a great time with our beloved games.
My best wishes for everyone.
