MiSTer Profile Tweaks:- Three different mister.ini files (mister.ini, mister_alt_1.ini, mister_alt_2.ini)- Common for all are: vscale_mode=5 (1 had too small image on many arcade cores), video_mode=8 (1080p@60 output), vsync_adjust=2- main ini then has the normal look/sharp pixels look- alt_1 ini has "vfilter_default=Upscaling - Recommended/GS_Sharpness_085.txt" to soften up the image a bit (interpolation only preset) that works across all cores.- alt_2 instead "preset_default=Display Specific/Sony PVM" for a more aggressive CRT look (and lower brighness) across all cores
