I do this too except I don't use the 360 pad as it has THE worst D-pad ever made.
I completely agree with this!
Now I'm tired, eternally walking... forever dying, and never stopping. I feel in sorrow, all I see is white. I’m following a blind way beneath a sad sky.

If you have an Ouya, the Game Boy Advance emulator seems to work well enough. I started a game of Aria a while back, and it looked pretty good.

So far, the platform where Aria looks best is the PSP.

I definitely agree with that. The PSP is the best for a lot of emulation, but there is definitely a really annoying ghosting effect on my psp 2000. Its not as distracting in Aria as it is in some other games though.

I have a PSP Slim, IDK how it looks in a PSP 2000. In the Slim model it looks perfect, at least the way I see it.

The 2000 is the slim. Rondo of Blood classic looks terrible on it for instance. You can hardly see the bats the ghosting is so bad.

I prefer to play Aria on my Wii, in fact I've beaten Circle of the Moon on a Wii.

They look great in a Wii too.

I didn't try emulating Rondo in a PSP, but IIRC it looked fine in DXC.

Someone tried to play Chronicles on PSP? It should be cool.

It was in DXC that I had the problem. Maybe its my specific model. I remember a lot of critics were complaining about it.

I've played all of the GBA games this way, the blurryness doesn't bother me. You get used to it when you use old consoles on an HDTV. Well, for most games. I still long for something that will smooth out the jaggies on FF9 so it doesn't look like total shite on an HDTV, because it's really such a beautiful game if you've played it on a CRT.

I emulated Rondo on PSP as well as playing DXC and I found that turning up the screen brightness helped a lot.

I have this issue. PSP-2000, Rondo ghosts TERRIBLY in DXC. The 3000 model is supposed to get rid of the ghosting but at the sacrifice of something else, I can't remember. I've never been able to hold one to see the differences with my own eyes.

Pretty sure I have the brightness all the way up.



GBA games on the Wii look pretty dang good. A little too sharp, perhaps. You're able to blow the screen size pretty big while still keeping a crisp image. Definitely the way to go for playing GBA (and GB/C) games on an HDTV over the GB Player, assuming you have component cables.
Oh yeah, and also:
meat

Soda as well.

Dont forget that you can enable some filters if you want to.

I am having a similar problem, you can totally see the blurriness when running. Since the GC component cables are ridiculously expensive, I was thinking on grabbing a CRT that supports S-Video, would that do the trick? What do you think>
