RetroArch VS batocera.linux

You should be able to emulate close to CRT beam scanout + phosphor decay given high enough refresh rates.

Eg. given a 30 Hz (60i) retro signal, a 480 Hz display has 16 full screen refreshes for each input frame, while a 960 Hz display has 32. 480 Hz already exists, and 960 Hz are expected by end of the decade.

You essentially draw the frame over and over with progressive darkening of individual scan lines to emulate phosphor decay.

In practice, you'd want to emulate the full beam scanout and not even wait for full input frames in order to reduce input lag.

Mr. Blurbuster himself has been pitching this idea for awhile, as part of the software stack needed once we have 960+ Hz displays to finally get CRT level motion clarity. For example:

You could try hosting the web version of Retroarch on your server, and use this but I don't think what you're looking for exists

Hi all Ive come across this github feature request from the project https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/8124

Thanks to the amazing people at EmulatorJS and Libretro for making this all possible.

It wasn't originally developed for BSNES. It seems to go as far back as 2018 with a patch by Nitsuja for a TAS geared Gens fork then submitted to RA by Dwedit in 2018

It's a pretty hairy topic once you get into the details but you can read through this issue thread to get up to speed: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/6875

So this is the issue: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/13913

Im validating it on a desktop pc at the moment, but have a minipc in the mail that should handle it fine (minisforum um790 pro).

No links for pre-loaded if you mean roms, but batocera is a much more pre-loaded experience if you mean emulators and config. Its a much more rigid experience than retropie. You can get it at the homepage: https://batocera.org/

The nice thing is that it is designed to be run from a usb-stick, so you can easily pop it in and validate the use case before going full-install.

& here's their official website

The OS you probably want is Batocera. I have a couple external SSDs that I use to run it on my VCSs, and they're great. It's definitely an easier setup than Windows with Launchbox, and you don't have to deal with licensing, forced updates, and all the other Windows garbage.

This subreddit is for the completely free and open-source distribution that you would find at https://batocera.org/ which comes with absolutely no copyrighted ROMs(games). You will only get support here for that and that alone. Unfortunately if you bought a preconfigured system ("unofficial image"), your issues are with the people who sold it to you. Nobody here can help you with anything outside the scope of the official release of Batocera. Which does have thorough documentation; https://wiki.batocera.org/
