Hi Easymode,
First, thanks again for the incredible work on your shader. I was going through the epic “scanline screenshots thread” over at Neogaf when I saw this post you made:

Post #54; Page 2, Scroll down to 4th post.
That screenshot of Sonic is pretty much EXACTLY what I want my retro games to look like. The trouble is, CRT-Easymode with the default settings doesn’t look like that. Could you post settings for achieving the look seen in that screenshot? Edit: I just realized the screenshot you posted in that thread is a higher resolution than 1080p. Is this why the posted screenshot looks different from the default settings at 1080p? The most noticeable difference is that the grille is more defined in the screenshot, which could be explained by a higher resolution.
Another set of settings for a shadowmask TV would be helpful as well. Could you also provided a set of suggested settings to get close to the Zelda screenshot seen here (minus the screen curvature): http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=mamechat&Number=332320
Here’s another shot for reference, from an actual RGB CRT TV:
Is there some kind of guide to all these settings, somewhere? I just don’t understand all the variables well enough or the relationships between them to achieve what I want, although I know what I want is achievable given the screenshots I’ve seen of CRT-easymode in action.
I’m sure there are others who would like to know what settings to use to achieve the look seen in those shots. If you or anyone reading this can provide those settings, it would be really helpful.
