VBA-M Forums

Due to poorly iluminated GBA screen, most games has a more brighter graphics to compensate that. But on PC screen the brightness is too intense.

It would be nice if VBA has some kind of gamma, brightness and contrast correction by a manual ajustment bars or presets. These configs could be saved as diferent presets to switch depending on the game played.

Currently I am making ajustments on my graphics card utility lowering the gama from 1.00 to 0.80 in order to make some games less bright and look correct. But I always need to ajust it back to normal after playing.

brightness is 1:1 with a GBASP, only external monitor controls or Windows colour correction affects it.

I know that VBA emulates the GBA colors accurately. But some games are made brighter to look nicer on the GBA screens. On PC the extra brightness is too apparent. Here some screenshots of Super Mario World for comparison:

GBA


SNES


It is possible to add a filter or ajustment to make the games less bright?

its possible, but totally unlikely.


atleast until more important stuff are resolved.
