CRT shader for video input?

[Ball]

Anyone know how to include a video input option in RetroArch similar to “Open Capture Device” in VLC? Either this, or maybe modify VLC to use RetroArch shaders.

This could allow people who have physical consoles to play video games on modern digital displays but using a CRT shader.

we have/had something like that added in for linux for a long time, but it was never really all that usable and was disabled not too long ago.

The easiest thing to do if you’re already playing them through VLC would be to use “shaderglass” to put a shader effect in front of the VLC window.

or maybe modify VLC to use RetroArch shaders.

How about this?
