This is a release of Nestopia that includes the xBr filter made by Hyllian. For more information on this filter go
hereThis filter works well on SNES and Genesis games. It's not such a big benefit (over HQ4X) on NES games, but you might like the result.
1.41.2 had an ugly bug that resulted in a blank screen in some cases. This version fixes that and adds the A and C variants of the filter.
The difference between 4xBr A-B-C and HQ4X:

A - Don't round corners. (Good for RGP games)
B - Round some corners. (The default setting)
C - Round all corners (On the FF screenshot the windows in the houses are now smaller and the doors are tent openings)
There's also a "crisp" setting on the filter that removes the anti-aliasing. If you use this setting I recommend forcing "4X" for best result.
Soft 3xBr - B variant:

Crisp 3xBr - B variant:

To select between crisp/soft, go into the filter's settings and check/uncheck "blend pixels".
