How do you apply filters to PC games?

There's literally nothing wrong with filters. Some games desperately need them to iron out the edges a bit.

I have a better question. My old graphics card sometimes applies a bilinear filter to games, when it shouldn't. There are no options for that sort of thing anywhere in its configuration. Is there a way to force nearest neighbor scaling in all games?

How noticeable is it? I like nearest neighbor and bilinear

check if it's your graphics card or your monitor. Some monitors will bilinear-filter the input when upscaling if it's below a certain resolution

It's definitely the card. It imagine it happens when games try using video memory. I guess a way to force usage of system memory in games without the option is what I'm after.

Very. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I haven't played any retro games recently with the problem. Emulators always let me choose system memory, and I didn't have the problem with any other games, as far as I remember.

You mean on the whole screen, not textures or sprites, right?
Anyway, give an example of game, even better with screenshot.

I wonder this too. Basically I don't want to play any none HD game outside of retroarch because I miss the awesome shaders.
There must be a way to apply shaders on standard pc gamers, right? For example to play rayman 2 or something

you can use some shaders on DOSBox, though that's mostly for the 320x200 games. In theory you could sneak a shader into the pipeline of a glidewrapper, but it seems to be low priority for understandable reasons. Computers running on resolutions beyond 640x480 never had very visible scanlines, and assumed square nearest-neighbor pixels, which is pretty much what present day monitors and outputs do. If you do use scanline based shaders for 320x200, remember that the output is 320x400

Dosbox shaders are ugly and outdated.

>>3233093
This. And it's called Resahde now. Don't see me wrong, I only used it to get antialiasing (it does SMAA with depth information, not just filters) in Dreamcast emulator.

Daum allows writing shaders in HLSL. Go nuts

>>3232693
You don't.
