*[[Shaders_and_Filters#Smoothing_shaders|xBRZ]] texture upscaling
*[https://www.libretro.com/index.php/reicast-libretro-updates-26-7-2018/ Render to texture upscaling] (Lets you set the upscaling factor to output whole screen at multiples of native resolution. Only affects games which render the screen to a texture, e.g. ''Dead or Alive 2'' or ''Crazy Taxi''. Results look amazing, ala what the xBRZ filter does to emulators for 2D-graphics consoles, e.g. SNES, GBA and etc.)
