We welcome a large family in this "#Quick" section of RetroArch user guides. In this video we will "quickly" edit the user interface of #RetroArch, which you have just installed or already installed in your (n/o) #3DS or (n) #2DS, to improve quality. Video shaders can improve quality but may also affect performance for some cores, so be careful when using this option and toggle this option on/off to find best option.

This is the New 3DS XL, but you can use it for the whole 3DS/2DS family. Be aware that you should use Scale2x.filt for New 3DS/2DS and Normal2x.filt for Old 3DS/2DS. As we mentioned before, it will affect performance, so toggle this setting on/off if you find performance to be bad for any core or game you are running.
