This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

you need a good scanline filter if you want modern pixels to look like classic ones

Incorrect, you need a good NTSC filter. Scanlines on their own are hotdog water.

And then your European players wonder why the color artifacts are all wrong. PAL and NTSC had different distinct looks (and presumably so did SECAM).

If it helps, for all fairness, the Nintendo, Sega, and Sony consoles were all Japanese, so NTSC was their native target before getting converted to PAL. It may not be what EU kids remember growing up, but NTSC is technically more "correct" from that perspective.

With that being said, always use PAL filters with PAL versions of games and NTSC filters for NTSC versions.
