it's more fun to emulate

I’m messing with Cemu again

I’m mostly here to tell you all that Splatoon is perfectly playable and that you should play the single player even though there’s no reasonable way to emulate the gyro in Cemu unless you go through a bunch of stuff, most likely involving Steam

but I also messed around with those graphic packs, a thing Cemu does on a per game basis instead of, say, letting you pick a resolution for everything to be rendered at but also let’s you do fun stuff, like having packs that eliminate in-game AA solutions, adjust bloom or give better shadows

anyway

for the sake of comparison

Splatoon at 1920x1080, no internal resolution change (final output is being upscaled by the emulator, boring regular nearest neighbor)

Splatoon at 1920x1080, internal resolution of 5120x2880 (and also I remembered to turn off forced 2X AA because who the fuck needs that when I’m downscaling from 5k)

and, uh, because I remembered I can set virtual desktop resolutions, a big ol’ 4k screenshot of MK8

Nintendo is still making games their hardware can’t show off and that’ll be cool when the Switch gets blown up which is just a matter of time

this was probably kind of fun and I also enjoy having my computer also double as a space heater

what’s that? Breath of the what now? never heard of it.
