Hi there.
I have been trying different games and all of them seem to have lower texture/shader quality and seem blurry and washed out for some reason. From the menus to logos to the font to actual in game graphics.
I have used a game that was released on both systems as a clear comparison - Mega Man X3. The first is from an SNES emulator and the second is PCSX2. I don't understand how the second can look so much worse being from a much newer system. Please note my intention is not to bash this emulator but to figure out how I can remedy the issues.
On SNES emulator:

On PCSX2:

The first image looks crisp and clean from the SNES emulator.
The second image looks extremely blurry and washed out. I also don't know how to get the proper 8:7 aspect ratio working (it is stretched to 4:3) but that is a secondary problem. This kind of image quality is the same for all games.
Here is another example which includes text:

PCSX2:

For PCSX2 I am not able to use any custom resolution scaling past native or tick texture filtering (only 'square tick' that - not sure what that does exactly) and not able to add any MSAA at all past 0. If I do any of the above I get the same graphics but this time with many graphical errors such as grid lines or black lines around character etc. It is unlikely they would make a difference anyway I believe. AF certainly does not.
I have tried many different settings and googled but I may still be missing something, or is this really the graphics of a PS2 emulator?
If you would like me to give you an example of another game please say so.
If anyone understands my issue or has experienced it similarly I would greatly appreciate help. Thanks.
