I play console games either 2x (size, not 2xSai) or fullscreen, portables, just 2x size. Sometimes I screw around with filters just to see how they look, but when I'm actually playing a game, I prefer them off.

I don't use filters on the SNES because I need to be able to take exact screens for mapping. It is 2x the normal size, but easy to resize in Paint. I don't really worry about filters on GBA since VBA has a screenshot and map viewer thing built in, but I still like to be able to see the pixels, which is also why it is 3x the normal size.

I LOVE using hq3x or hq4x. Probably the best looking filters I've found yet. But... Those two need tons of processing power. So I mainly use them for SNES, as I insist on having emus run full speed whenever possible.

The most demanding 2D game I've ever seen when it comes to emulators, is F-Zero Climax. Just about any filter bogs down that one fast.

CKY-2K: The last official FCEU has filters, it's spin-offs like XD SP don't aside from the one provided by most PC graphics cards that I can tell.

Kega - HQ2X with 25% scanlines
Snes9x - HQ2XBold
zSNES - NTSC filter
Magic Engine - 50% scanlines
VisualBoyAdvance - HQ2X or Super2xSAI

I like pixels, but filters combined with scanlines are just as good. I use a 2x filter occasionally...

NES - Nothing, ever.
SNES - Almost always nothing. If I remember to (rare) I will occasionally turn on hq3x for games like the Megaman X series (which is the primary specific example of games that look better filtered)
VBA - Simple 2x or hq2x, depending on mood.

SNES9X OpenGL TV Mode with a mild screen curvature.
Rarely the EPX mode.

Occasionally I'll use hq2x for Link's Awakening.
And though not technically a screen filter, I always use hires mode7 in ZSNES.

But other than that, they look ugly and I hate them.

There was a NES emulator with an NTSC TV filter.

Anyone know what it's called?

I don't know if this is the same emu you're thinking of, but I know Nestopia has it.

With SNES/MD emulation, I don't use filters, but I mainly up the screen size to 2x or 3x.
With GBA emulation (in VBA), I up the screen size to 2x, and use Super 2xSai or something to that effect. Too lazy right now to confirm.
With Nintendo 64 emulation, I either play in 320x240 with no filter, or in fullscreen with no filter.
