Does this shader also replicate the horrific motion blur that the display of the original GameBoy suffered from?

There are two variants, one with motion-blur and one without. Besides that, often shaders have additional settings. One can change settings and save it as a new Shader Preset and use that instead. I have described it here: https://thingsiplay.game.blog/2024/10/19/showcase-for-retroarch-shaders-2024/8/#learn-and-explore

Thanks. I shall avoid the motion blur variant as best as I can, because that's one of several aspects of this device I do not remember fondly.

I borrowed a friend's Game Boy for an afternoon when I was a kid and I was so disappointed by it (primarily the screen, but also poor ergonomics and the limited nature of its games) that I lost nearly all interest in gaming for a year.
