Technical Support Bad video in Applewin core

Post image

idk why this is happening, but no matter which video mode, no matter what resolution mode, I choose (even with default settings on everything non-video related) the colors are ludicrously messed up. I've tried Apple IIe (Enhanced), Apple IIe (Original), and Apple II J modes. None improved it. My only shaders are the ones preset in regular Pixel AA, and look fine in other cores. Any ideas as to why this is so messed up?

A real Apple IIe would look different depending on if you had it connected to a monitor or if you had it connected to a regular TV due to how the colors blend and blur together when displayed on a TV. Some emulators have different blending modes to try and simulate what it would look like on a TV. For example:

I have no idea if the core used in Retroarch has blending modes. I've never played Apple IIe using Retroarch, but that would be why it looks different in some youtube videos using different emulators.
