    Not any emulator I’m familiar with. It upscaled it like it was a regular photo, not a screenshot of a digital program. Emulators would upscale by even multiples to keep things looking clean & sharp, and even if they were poorly scaled up they would just look blurry but normal.

    This upscaling interpolates information and rounds out pixels in a really unnatural way.

      Are you familiar with scaling shaders? There are several that are designed specifically to round out pixels, like superSAI, XBR4x, or HQ4x.

      Personally I think they’re hideous, but some people do use them. It’s not AI.
