Since Freedom Planet doesn't have built-in filters, we need an external way of adding the effects we want. If it disappears entirely, rendering this guide totally broken, please leave a comment so I know to remove it.)

I'm not sure what updates or bug fixes you lose out on by using the older version, or how long the old Direct X 1.20.2 version will be kept available. However, you can currently roll-back your installation of Freedom Planet to version 1.20.2 under the 'Beta' tab of game properties, allowing SweetFX to function. Since SweetFX only works with DirectX, this tutorial won't work with new versions of the game. (*IMPORTANT NOTE* Freedom Planet was recently transitioned to OpenGl.

If you've played modern re-releases of games like Sonic CD, or used emulators, you're probably familiar with these kinds of filter effects. These effects give the game a look similar to what classic console and arcade games looked like on old TVs and monitors. This tutorial will show you how to enhance Freedom Planet with scanline and CRT effects.
