PCSX2 makes me feel like this when I got full screen 1920x1080 in glorious 4:3 with a triangular scanline filter.

Take me back to 2001, take me baaaaaack.
I love PCSX2. My biggest problem with it is how many games have broken visuals with hardware rendering in higher resolutions, though that's mostly down to the freaky alien math the PS2 used.
I played Genji: Dawn of the Samurai earlier this year and it's a pretty good (bad?) example of the types of issues you typically run into, which lots of broken DOF and bloom effects and ghosting and double images everywhere
HW rendering
SW rendering

It legitimately strains your eyes after a while
Can't wait until that new Parallel-GS renderer makes it way to PCSX2 as it's supposed to fix these kinds of problems
I'll keep an eye out for this and that renderer when it drops. How's backwards compatibility on it? I have duckstation but I'd rather just play psx games through pcsx2 and save the hassle of switching emulators.
I don't think I've ever heard of anyone using PCSX2 for PS1 games, and I don't think it's even intended to do so. Even if it runs PS1 games it probably doesn't have all the amazing graphics options Duckstation has. The two emulators are very similar anyway in terms of UI and user experience
Good to know, thanks
