   Those CRT shaders in all the emulators annoy me. If I want a CRT look, I just play on a CRT.

   But I make an exception for handheld games.
   Playing a DS game with fake CRT shaders is so stupid it wraps hack around to brilliant

     @kawa you don't have any computers with VGA out? or an HDMI to VGA adapter?

     @foone Hey now not everyone has a CRT monitor laying around.

     I know I don't, and if I did I wouldn't have any means to connect it to my computer.

     @foone Third option (which I'm not going to do, but do want to point out is an option): playing old games with Snes9x-style scaling algorithms - maybe even with vanilla Kega Fusion - as a kind of counter-nostalgia out of spite.

     @foone Now the real question no one asked becomes: How small could someone build a DS with two tiny CRTs and one of them a touchscreen.

     Could it be made actually handheld? Probably honestly...

     @Doridian @foone there was a video recently where someone modded a game boy to use a crt, and it worked.. sorta? it obliterated batteries though.

     i'd be very curious to see a DS done like this. bonus points if it can still fold

     (warning for the most unhinged hardware modding i have ever seen)

     @blaurascon @Doridian it reminds me that I STILL need to build that CRT smartphone I've been threatening for years
