Hi,
I am currently playing N64 games trough emulation,even though I still own the original system and many original games for it.
The reason is because the emulator is capable of a higher resolution and also in some games it's convenient to save the state.
Plus I am used to sit in front of the computer for hours!!
But sometime I like to play from my couch, and since my video card has an s-video output, I can play everyting on my telly, reguardless if it's an emulator or a PC game or just a movie.
Now I have a few thoughts to share on this point.
You are free to disagree or not, but your opinion is what I am looking for in this post.
- When I play N64 games trough the television ( with pj64 ) I didable high quality texture and 2x or what ever is there to make 2d graphics smoother, because I suppose on a TV set you can barely see the difference and they might actually look better without.
- I also disable screen anti-aliasing and v-sync and other high quality settings and set the full screen resolution to 800x600 60 hertz.
I can still see the video if I use a higher resolution(1024x768 for example) but I think that above a certain range I won't notice the difference anyway.
At this point I would like to know what's the best resolution to be viewed on a television.
I tried several ones, and I must say ,above 640x480 I don't see any difference.
I think my TV resolution is close to 640x480(it's not HDTV,but a sony triniton), but I don't want to start any war about pixels and inexistant screen resolutions , I just would like to know if it's a good Idea to disable all those filters and keep a low resolution(because it's not noticable on a tv screen anyway and with this settings I am sure that performance should get slightly better) or if I will be missing something.
Am I right ? Does anybody else play trough television ? Over all , what kind of settings do you suggest ? My system is capable of running an N64 emulator with most high quality option enabled and still almost every supported game plays well,therefore it's not a question about performing problems, I would just like to get the best possible settings for the task.
