Also special thanks to @Cyber for guidance. Without him I wouldn’t have come to something that works for me. Cyber is the master behind the madness.
Also this is with HDR off. The display I’m using is a large TV. A Vizio P65Q9-H1 4K HDR tv It’s not an OLED or super expensive but it looks good to me.
Strike that reverse it. Use this one instead:

This reminds me of when I just started doing this:
Look at the number of edits I made to this post:
It can get pretty crazy when you start your own topic and make a lot of changes.
the PS1 was the most brain racking to get right. Using Cybers PSX Composite Cybertron NeoGX preset as a reference helped a great deal.
What about users that only has a 1080p monitor? is there a way we could also achieve a soft look? on my end the scanlines are too strong
Of course you can adjust the sharpness or softness to your liking and there are several ways to go about this. What preset pack are you referring to though?
Have you tried every preset?
Fine or higher TVL or lower Mask Size presets are usually less sharp.
If you’re using an NTSC preset, you can lower the Resolution Scale.
You can also decrease any parameter that deals with sharpness or adjust any horizontal filter. You can also lower Chroma Resolution / Bleeding.
You can also use a lower “input quality”/resolution Blargg NTSC Video Filter Preset if you’re using those. Many of my presets are designed with the intention of using them in conjunction with some of these video filter presets.
You said the scanlines are too strong, you can adjust that as well by choosing a lower GSL Scanline Type if using one of my Mega Bezel Presets. If using my Sony Megatron Preset pack, you can increase the Scanline Min/Max.
Which presets or presets do you find look too sharp that you’ve tried?
Please include a screenshot to help me to better understand and if you can describe what you’re trying to achieve in a little more detail then perhaps I can better assist.
if i’m using the windowcast core and i load a cyberlab shader or megabezel preset retroarch will freeze. is there a fix?
This looks like one for the WindowCast core thread:
CyberLab Megatron NX Death To Pixels 4K HDR Shader Preset Pack!
Hi, I have a problem !
I don’t know what happened but from one moment to the next the shader stopped giving me an image and instead it shows me this screen with information, I looked in the shader options to see if any parameter was causing it but I couldn’t find anything, if I put megabezel show info=0 the letters only turn yellow I only remember updating retroarch but I could still play fine and the shader worked until now. I don’t know if they can provide support here i am new at thisDid you also update your Slang Shaders using the Online Updater?
Did you read and understand this?
Especially this part:
Also this:
This is the first thing I would check.
Pro Tip: 4K users who have displays that can handle full RGB 4:4:4 change the Mask Type to 12 and the Mask Size to 1.
Note: This doesn’t apply to all presets and this won’t work on my Slot Mask or Computer Monitor presets.
4K users who have displays that can only do YCbCr 4:2:0 you can use the current Mask 6, Size 2 which is good but not perfect or try Mask 7 or 8 with Deconvergence turned off.
This applies to CyberLab Mega Bezel Death To Pixels Shader Preset Pack.
If using CyberLab CRT-Royale Death To Pixels Shader Preset Pack try setting the Max Triad Size Desired to 6 or whatever value gives you RGB triads on your display.
@Theoldnation you can probably try this before buying a new TV. If your TV needs a different Mask Subpixel layout you can probably try Hyllian’s CRT Shader Preset pack as I recall @Hyllian included Subpixel Layouts for both RGB and BGR layout in his CRT-Royale Shader Preset Pack.

I’m having a bit of a problem with the psx preset. I’m using it with the duimon backgrounds, and for some reason, the screen is too big that it doesn’t show the frame correctly, looks cropped. I can’t find a way to solve this, please help!
Hi, can you state exactly which PSX Preset you’re using, which one of Duimon’'s backgrounds as well as the method used to integrate both presets?
I could remember having some challenges with moire patterns when making those PSX presets if the scaling was set to anything other than what I have it set to now.
I see you’re using 1080p resolution. The presets in the 1080p Optimized folder were mostly converted from other higher resolution optimized options so something could have slipped through the cracks.
You can first try decreasing the Int. Scale Offset and see if it solves your issue.
Is the Playstation-[ADV]-[Guest]-[Bezel]-[Night].slangp, and I used the method of opening the Duimon’s preset with notepad and pasting your preset file location.
I tried decreasing the Int. Scale Offset but it was already 0 so it didn’t solve the problem.And there’s no negative Int. Scale Offset available?
You can lower the Int. Scale % or the Non Int. Scale %.
Which one you have to use depends on if the Int. Scale Mode is set to. If it’s on 0, then Int. Scaling is off so you have to use the Non-Int. Scale %. If it’s 1 or 2 then you have to use the Int. Scale %.
There’s another method of integrating my presets with Duimon’s or any other overlay or background.
You can go into my CyberLab_Special_Edition folder and you will see some examples.
In those examples I used my own graphics but if you wanted to use Duimon’s graphics instead, you could replace the background line in the preset with a second reference line that points to the *.params version of Duimon’s presets.
There is supposed to be an entire folder of his presets in *.params format.
If the overlay/background pack you’re using doesn’t have its presets in *.params format, you can convert them yourself by first making a copy of the original presets folder then editing the presets in that folder to remove or comment out the reference lines.
It’s really very simple if you understand what you’re doing.
As for my example presets, you can change the presets in the first reference line to any preset in my Mega Bezel Death To Pixels Shader Preset Pack.
