I’ve noticed scrolling can be an issue with Lakka and various emulated systems. Edges seem to darken during horizontal scrolling and particularly with high-contrast backgrounds. Single-width pixel elements tend to be the biggest problem. At times, this translates to an annoying flicker.
Any ideas on how to solve this? I wonder if a blurring effect (emulating composite/RF video) would soften the image enough to minimize the effect.
Are you sure that’s not just your display? Depending on you device, you can try a shader. RPis aren’t powerful enough for the NTSC shaders, though.
I suppose that’s a possibility. I can try a monitor and see how it looks. This was not an expensive TV but it would be sad if technology had gone backwards, in that sense ;p Back in the day, smooth scrolling was smooth scrolling…
Incidentally, I’m using an Odroid C1+.
ah, your board may be able to handle the ntsc shaders, if you’d like to give one of them a shot.
So, the “stock” or “bilinear” shader do produce better results. They look the same, to me.
I also notice that certain emulated systems seem to exhibit the problem more than others. Right now, Genesis seems to have the most trouble.
However, the display definitely makes a difference. The effect is minimal (if it’s visible at all) on the monitor I tested. The display seems like the main thing to investigate, though I am curious about the possible difference in emulators.
Ok, it sounds like you might be describing uneven pixel scaling, as well. Does the issue go away if you go to settings > video and put the aspect ratio to the 1:1 PAR setting?
