hi

i've noticed that the 1.40 version includes a "motion blur" effect
i just wanted to know how to activate it .

* - Added motion blur (Thanks ipher for fixing the entry in the GUI). [pagefault]

does it require 16 bits display or something ?
thx in advance .

That's a good question.

Looking at Agozer's ZSNES changelog:

ZSNES WIP March 11 (MODIFIED)

Note by ipher: the only changes were done by me, i moved the Motion Blur setting (caused the garbage on the Video screen). you MUST press M to activate Motion Blur, also, it only works for R and S modes, NOT D modes... i suggest you wait for a real fix by someone that knows what they are doing before using this version, because it might be unstable (im not a coder)

and

ZSNES WIP March 16

# Timing update fix (Pagefault)
# Fix motion blur text in GUI (Pagefault)

That's all I can find about this...

Apparently it was experimental code, and it was eventually removed.

Yeah it was removed since it didn't work too well. However I can put it back in if people really want it, I can borrow the code from VBA.

There still seems to be a lot of left over code related to motion blur throughout the source. We should remove it if we don't want it.

motion blur would be really _REALLY_ nice

Motion blur gives me a headache on some other emulators.

What is it supposed to simulate anyway? LCD ghosting?

I think so, but more blur. much motion blur makes the game look neat and smooth.

Well, that's what it does. I don't think it simulates anything.

You use the backbuffer as transparent layer over the current one. Makes all the wobbly stuff in recent games.

Motion blur isn't that great.

I have to agree. When I tested out the different emulators that have the motion blue effect, I wasn't impressed.

Meh.
