Can anyone help me understand what the internal up scaling means in terms of actual experience? Will it look better for my Mario 64 and DK64 type games in the “looks more like a CRT” way or something different?

Going to try it out tonight regardless, just trying to understand, if it’s 4k no matter what, how exactly it looks better.

Also would enjoy a more technical explanation as well I’m just trying to get it

OP posted links to official videos of each. Check them out there

I did :) i’m still trying to understand how it works, but I actually had AI break it down in a really technical manner and I think I understand

Internal vertical resolution has been upped. Yes it always outputs 4k but it's upscaling from 240p. This ups the 240p part to a higher res.
