Artwork is blurry, while game is clear #60

See pictures, I suspect retroarch isn't making a canvas that's big enough to initially handle the artwork, and is loading in the artwork at a much lower resolution, and then scaling upward.

Yes, that's exactly what's happening. If this core has an "alternate renderer" core option, it will make the canvas 1600x1200 or so, which will still have some scaling artifacts as it fits to your screen, but it looks better than the default tiny canvas.

The tradeoff is that most shaders look bad with the alternate renderer due to the huge resolution.

Ok, so... am guessing nobody wants to fix this? ;)

There is no way to fix this and keep our shaders working properly

hizzlekizzle commented 6 years ago

The alternative would be to start supporting mame's artwork format, or at least something similar, whereby an image with the same name as the game gets loaded as an overlay with some default settings (since most of them use the exact same 2-3 line cfg anyway).

Since no solution we can close it
