*Less system-intensive than HQx and xBR.

*Edge detection is horrible.

*The finer details of the textures/sprites might be obscured by bad edge detection.

*Worse at some things that HQx excels at.

*Looks great for many 2D games.

*Detects small features that get messed up by HQx and xBR.

*3D games look great with it as well.

*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.
