Is that morphenomenal enough for you?

Even if it weren't on a high-def television, the GBA Player always did kind of have a problem being blurry. I see the resolution is set to wide, too; could try changing that with the Z Button.

Edit: Whoops, thought you were looking for a solution of sorts. Yes, that's a disaster.

[Lelygax]

Well, they need to scale it in a way that doesnt pixelate it, maybe thats the only way at the time...?

PC/Laptop and Emulator connected to TV via HDMI with xbox 360 pad. There's simply no other way.

This is what I do ^^^

I have it on the gameboy advance, but there is simply no comparison playing it with on the right emulater with the right screen filters and resolution set on a 46 inch flat screen at 1080p.

The game looks amazing.

Like running my NeoGeo emulator on my TV. Man, that was gorgeous. ... Was 32" CRT, but still gorgeous! So much bigger than on my 17" monitor at the time. And when I can get my NES to run... oh man. Then again, I grew up with a 32" for my NES as a kid, so it's just nostalgic, not impressive. Also played on a monitor. I had the "real" NES palette back then. I wish I still had that monitor. Fuck man, unless you ever played an NES on an old CRT monitor -- the kind that came with Commodore 64 -- you ain't seen NES color. My god, that monitor made EVERYTHING gorgeous! I rigged up two VCRs, two TVs, that monitor, my NES, and my Genesis all in one system. I was recording gameplay footage back in the 90s... WHILE WATCHING TV... ON A COMPUTER MONITOR! Then they switched over to those weird hookups. I miss those audio/video cable monitors.

Well the first problem is you're not using an HD console. Of course it'll look blurry on an HD display.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Yeah, any console that does not use HDMI will have a slight noise in the signal because it's analog video.
But Component Video is still better than Composite or RF, haha.

Aria plays well on a Gameboy Advance emulator on Wii.  If you have it on Wii-U you get almost no blurriness.

Otherwise, yeah you just play on the PC with HDMI-Output to TV.

I do this too except I don't use the 360 pad as it has THE worst D-pad ever made.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Yeah I use a Dualshock3 with DS3Tool.
Or use a Wii Classic Controller with GlovePIE.

IIRC, GBPlayer looks best when set to sharp(est) visuals and the smallest screen size with a black border/BG. I got it to look pretty pimpin' on a big tube TV with S-Video (still blurry, but the signal difference made it much sharper than composite), but I've no GCN component cable to see how it looks on my HDTV.

My GBA SP+ would be perfection for GBA games if it had a friggin' headphone jack. I bought the official Nintendo adapter that plugs into the charge slot, but there's a LOT of hiss.

For all my PC gaming needs.

At least, when I'm not using my arcade controller.
