curious about psx and a pc monitor

[niceguy71486]

Hello I was just wondering why is it everytime that when you go to play a game in psx emulator and I want to go to fullscreen and I have my monitor's resolution down to 640x480 I still get the pixelated look like its being upscaled to the max 1680x1050 but when I put it in windowed mode at a really tiny window that you can barely see even in that low resolution I can see the games like they were being displayed on a tv no pixelation or anything. I guess my question is is their any way I can set my monitor's resolution down to 640x480 and then go to fullscreen without it being upscaled to 1024x768 or 1680x1050 wich ever its doing so I can play the games a little more like its on a tv, or if their isn't a way will their ever possibly be something added to the emulator that can modify the monitor's internal resolution so it stops upscaling the image and you can actually play in the resolution you actually set the monitor too; kind of like in pete's opengl 2 plugin you could change the internal resolution of your monitor so it wouldn't upscale it at least as far as I know it won't upscale it correct me if im wrong once those internal resolutions are set, and being as something like that could allow games to be played at that proper resolution and since pretty much all psx games were designed for that small resolution it shouldn't brake PSX Author's goal of emulating the psx perfectly. Thanks for your time and replies.

Phew! Let me get back to you once I've deciphered your post and taken a couple of aspirins, niceguy71486...

Seriously, AIR in Windows, you get smoother graphics in pSX when you increase the resolution, not when you decrease it. This is because the pixel size in a low resolution picture is large compared to the size of the picture: the higher the resolution gets, the smaller the pixel size gets relative to the picture size.

You can set the output resolution of pSX in the video configuration menu. There are separate settings for PAL and NTSC games.

But the games themselves will still be rendered at their original PlayStation resolution before being upscaled to whatever resolution you choose.

There is no way to actually render the game graphics at a higher resolution than they were designed for, pSX doesn't work that way.
If that's what you want, stick with the plugin-based emulators.

And for gods sake please use proper punctuation. Your post is really hard to read.
