Ehhh, I would rather they work on holographic technology instead of spending money on the past.

I want my 3d porn.

Don't know why anyone would want to see the RF noise and fuzzier image of yesteryear.

i don't get it either. we''ve been trying to get better images for everything, yet here people are making things that make the image worse...WTF?

Because when you are playing old games, the better they look, the worse they look.

This is nothing new though, MAME has had several scan line emulation strategies for years. I believe SNES does as well.

i never understood what the big deal was about this. i enjoy playing old games just fine on an LCD.

CRT effects emulation is good only for this specific application of oldschool games. Those games were meant to be played on CRTs, and the various imperfections of CRTs from that era made graphics actually look better in some cases (although some of it is nostalgia, too).

I don't see this as particularly awesome.
