- here is an good exsample from GBA Metroid Zero, which the soure video is only 240x160, same as game. Before you follow this guide, all your gameplay videos just look like GBA_Metroid_Zero_240x160_blur.jpg: After you set up like me, your gameplay videos will look like GBA_Metroid_Zero_240x160_classic.jpg: which one do you like? -

That's only good for pixel-based systems (LCDs like GB and GBA). For classic TV-based systems you need an NTSC + CRT shader. (Btw. use PNG for screenshots.)
