So there are some remedies (in order of my recommendation):
0. Use the original console and game
1. Play at 1x IR (maybe with 8xSSAA enabled to get rid of jaggies but without the annoying bloom)
2. Find an AR code for your IR that downscales the buffer to the correct size.
3. Find an AR code that completely disables bloom.
That makes sense. The fact that it occurs on different games makes me wish there was one AR/Gecko code that would work on all games at all scaling. But, because the wiki code I see for Mario Kart is only for 4x and only for that game, that doesn't make me optimistic. However, that is a code for scaling it back down, and I wouldn't mind disabling bloom entirely for everything, so maybe something exists.
Thanks for the explanation.
