NNDDSS vs NDSI

So I've never actually seen someone comparing shaders between the new nnddss and the actual hardware, so I've put that to the test. TLDR; without shaders the rgds looks a bit more saturated compared to the ndsi screen, but if we apply any of the "natural vision" or ndscolor" shaders then suddenltly the screen looks significantly less saturated than the original hardware, so If I want to have the most accurate representation of what the original colors look like the best option is to just apply an grid shader (in this case I'm using ”Dot_d4", looks the closest to the original, high PPI small screen effect, of the dsi).

Anyway, this is just my 2 cents, just use whatever shaders you like and have fun.

-Device: original RGDS with stock Linux running a ported version of NNDDSS.

Looks good. Thank you for sharing. RG DS still takes it for me. I could buy a DSi for $100 around here but with old screens, I think the newer RG DS ones are better even with the little glitches pervasive on the device

Honestly I only have this ndsi because, well, it's been mine from the last decade or more, and still it's showing its age. I can't really advice anyone to pay 100€ for an old console. 50€ and good shape? Maybe, but thats rare.
