Topic:
- F-Zero: Amazing. 2x resolution and 8x scaling and was fine.
- HyperZone: Impressive game to begin with. 3x resolution and 8x scaling and I was fine!
- Street Racer: 2nd to HyperZone. Really helped the game.
- Run Saber: Not sure where mode 7 was. Didn’t make it far
- R Type 3. Same as F Zero
- Wolfenstein: Slowed down. I toned it down. Scaled it down a bit. Not sure if I liked the affect. The 2x res looked and played fine.
- NHL Stanley Cup: worked great. Looked/played like a 32X game. Still not a good game. Gimmicky
- Mech Warrior: HUGE difference. Ground/Water looked great. Played great.
- Hong Kong’97 - not better, arguably worse
- Flashback - looked pretty good, but didn’t make me any better at it
- Doom - I think it was slower
- Random notes: Made games feel like they had background capabilities of a 486 computer with the sprites of a SNES. It’s the 32X of the SNES. RetroArch seemed to be missing some important settings. (Resolution?). This is a different thing than emulation. It’s for people that want better/newer versions of retro games.
