Well it's been a few days since a WIP update so I thought I would put together a few images for people to see of the upcoming 0.400B of RetroCopy.People have asked for filters since RetroCopy's debut and I thought it was time to add them today. I have also been refactoring lots of RetroCopy for the upcoming save-state/movie support. Refactoring is basically where you go over the code and tidy it up, recode parts of it to be cleaner/faster and things like this. Basically a tune up of source code.The new cover system still needs to be done, I'm waiting for inspiration to tackle it because it is quite a beast. The new filtering system basically lets you switch PIXEL FILTERING or LINEAR FILTERING combined with 4 source filters, RAW, SCALE2X, SCALE4X, SCALE4X+SCANLINES. So that means there is 8 combinations of filters for those who passed math class. This is the output as it exists in the current versions of RetroCopy.Here is a cheap pixel version that people seem to like. Since OpenGL can do this for free it comes at no loss of speed which is nice.This is scale2x with linear filtering.This is scale2x with pixel filtering.This is scale4x with linear filtering.This is scale4x with pixel filtering.This is scale4x + scanlines with linear filtering

Yeah I was hoping these would be in the next version because I like the pixelated look. Don't you think the other one is too blurry, makes my eyes bleed.

I mean how it looks now in retrocopy 200b is too blurry, the other filters here look good!

Yeah I didn't think it was too blurry before ,but once you see the pixel version of the RAW filter it is amazing how blurry it looks. The good thing is that pixel version is "free", it doesn't cost any more cycles to do it.
