Texture filtering: Difference between revisions

Line 137:

*Posterization is common. There are deposterization filters in some emulators (e.g. PPSSPP) that can aid this, however.

*Worse at some things the other scalers excel at.

|'''MMPX'''

|A texture scaling algorithm. Provides a nearly unfiltered, "Retro Plus" pixel art aesthetic with better handling of rounded and diagonal edges, similar to that found in many indie games.

|

*Has better handling of diagonals and curves than other scalers.

*Does not alter the art style to look cartoonish or posterized the way HQx and xBR do.

*Looks great for both 2D and 3D games designed with pixelated graphics in mind.

|

*Looks pixelated, highlighting the low resolution.

*Textures scaled horizontally and vertically at unequal levels can produce awkward results. [https://old.reddit.com/r/finalfantasytactics/comments/10iqeph/i_spent_a_couple_of_hours_testing_ppsspps/ Resolution hacks] may be able to fix this in some instances.
