Lossless integer upscale of the Super Metroid opening cutscenes.
Technical info:
Recorded in RetroArch, I believe with the bsnes-balanced core.
Using the Control Freak hack, but that shouldn't affect the graphics or sound at all.
Upscaled to a 4K-equivalent 4:3 window.
256x224 to 2304x2016 (9x zoom). Black bars added to account for the
8:7 aspect ratio. Gives the in-game pixels a "correct" aspect ratio. For example, the morph ball is circular in this ratio. I'm not aware of any documentation or evidence of the intended aspect ratio of Super Metroid. Please let me know if you find something.
Created with this command:
ffmpeg -i "file.mkv" -vf "scale=-1:2016,pad=2880:2160:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2" -sws_flags neighbor -qp 0 -qp 0 -c:a copy
Normally I wouldn't upload a video with black bars, but this is a nonstandard resolution. Not including black bars would lead to video sites upscaling it and messing up the integer pixel scaling.
