A really great hack for retro gamers who dont want to have a CRT tv hanging around the house is buy a cheap 1080p projector and project it onto an unprepped painted wall. The slight blur and bleed really smooths everything out.

I bought all those rerelease retro consoles and Metal Slug on a 3 meter screen is pretty badass.

Isn't the input lag insanely high in projectors?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned a specific filter or trick for just emulating this on modern screens. Surely one exists?
