Completely butchered graphics options

[Travisninja]

I was never very satisfied with the graphics options in 'simple' mode, and this new HUB is even worse. Scanlines in full screen completely ruins the graphics. Completely. You either get big discolored bars across the screen, or hideous waves that look like magnetic interference. In trying to make it look like a 'real TV' they seem to have forgotten that most CRTs after 1985 have a great picture and make old-school games look fantastic. I'm so disappointed that for all the work put into a nice looking hub, the in-game graphics are pretty awful. Thoughts on this?

I agree. I think, depending on the CRT (or televesion type in general), the cable used, and a few other factors, the image can look blurry as heck, or fairly crisp. But the classics hub fails to emulate this anywhere close to reality in any of these cases. I've had a CRT with composite, as well as flatscreen with composite and AV and they definitely look a lot better and less irritating on the eyes and nerves V:

I usually use s-video on my CRT (or component if i get lucky enough to find a good component tv at the thrift store) but in-game graphics for this emulator are terrible. How hard is it to do simple scanlines without washed out colors and horrible artifacts? Very bummed.

The scanlines seem to be 1 scanline to 1 pixel which is a very good start, the problem causing the artifacts seems to be the image is not streched 'evenly' making the scanlines have different height and I think that is what causes this 'pattern effects'.

I was trying different resolutions yesterday and when you turn the resolution down from 1080 it just gets worse. At 1080, the artifacts seem to be more noticed when there´s a lot of the same colour and if it is a light one (like the white Sega screen in Sonic games).
If it´s a complex image with many small bits of different colours in it it looks fairly good and it doesn´t have this artifact.

The solution I think could be to make the image a bit bigger/smaller, I guess only a few pixels would be necessary as it only seems to affect big areas (they have room with the top and bottom borders) so the image stretches evenly, making the artifacts disappear.

Cheers!
