Street Fighter Alpha 3 - Video Config to get "SQUARED" Pixels - Please Help
#1
A very good day to you Sir,

I hope you are all doing great Sir,

May I please kindly request for help for the Video Config for PCSX2 

I am running the latest version of PCSX2

I am also running Street Fighter Alpha 3

I do not want Bilinear Filtering as this will make the Graphics with a "Blury Edge"

I want the sprites to have as sharp an edge as possible

To do this I use - only Software Rendering 

I also use - Bilinear ( Forced excluding sprite) - so that there is no Blury Edges but a sharp edge on all the graphics and sprites

The only issue with this is that the Character Sprites all have oddly shaped pixels - meaning the pixels are not 100% Squared

The pixels are made up of varying levels of thickness ...

They are very thin lines of pixels and there are very normal lines of pixels ???

The total look and feel is that the Pixels are not all 100% Square ... 

I would like to know how can set the video config so that all the pixels are fully 100% "Squared ?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you and kind regards

Try to replace MIcrosoft Basic Render Driver with NVidia driver.

If you want the sprites as sharp as possible, use "Nearest" texture filtering.

thank you for all the replies ... 

i really appreciate it very much

some how there are still the odd 1 or 2 pixels that are still not 100% square ...

they seem to be all over the place 

these pixels are like thin thin lines of pixels ... here and there 

but the sprites and graphics are now as sharp as ever and that is what i wanted ...

kind regards

Late to the party, but the likely problem with this game is that it's using the arcade graphics that run at 384x224 and scaling them to 640x448. If it filters them they look blurry, and if it doesn't the pixel sizes will be all over the place because the horizontal scaling isn't an integer scale. It will just double the height of the pixels vertically, but for every three pixels two will be double in width and while one will remain the same.

Hardware rendering at a higher internal resolution would probably make it look a bit less blurry with filtering on, but the hardware render is extremely slow and broken with this game (and Vampire - Darkstalkers Collection, which seems like it's using the same emulation/engine). Hmm, I'll have to submit a bug report when I get around to it.
