Exodus' CRT TV's Overlays Collection (With Day and Night support)

Ah, got it. I don’t remember making those changes myself, but they are easily done. You can provide me the image and I’ll make the red light and the number 3 just like that.

Hey Bryan, I contacted you on Facebook as I wasn’t sure the protocol of posting a purchased image here for public view and I didn’t know how to contact you privately. Let me know if you saw my message, otherwise I can post the image here if you prefer. Thanks man!

I really like the commodore monitors. They look awesome. I have an Amstrad CTM 644 colour monitor here & I don’t see an overlay using one anywhere. I could take some snaps if anybody’s interested in making one? Just tell me the best way to do it for the best quality. What do you need

Hello there. I couldn’t help but notice that when it comes to overlays and shaders, there’s a big lack in PAL support.

To commemorate this a bit, I’d like to post a bunch of Philips TV Renders I ripped directly from their Indian Philips site (they still sell them over there) there’s 9 of them in total, but I can only upload 1 image for at least a preview:

Here’s also the links to where I got them from: ==https://images.philips.com/is/image/PhilipsConsumer/21PT3428_V7-IMS-en_IN?$pnglarge$&wid=2500 https://images.philips.com/is/image/PhilipsConsumer/21PT4525_V7-IMS-en_IN?$pnglarge$&wid=2500 ==https://images.philips.com/is/image/PhilipsConsumer/21PT3326_V7-IMS-en_IN?$pnglarge$&wid=2500 ==http://images.philips.com/is/image/PhilipsConsumer/14PT4525_V7-IMS-en_IN?wid=2500&$pnglarge$ ==http://images.philips.com/is/image/PhilipsConsumer/14PT2307_V7-IMS-en_IN?$pnglarge$&wid=2500 ==https://images.philips.com/is/image/PhilipsConsumer/21PT4326_V7-IMS-en_IN?$pnglarge$&wid=5000 ==https://images.philips.com/is/image/PhilipsConsumer/21PT3527_V7-IMS-en_IN?$pnglarge$&wid=2500 ==https://images.philips.com/is/image/PhilipsConsumer/21PT3525_V7-IMS-en_IN?$pnglarge$&wid=2500 ==https://images.philips.com/is/image/PhilipsConsumer/20PT9007D_17-IMS-en_US?$pnglarge$&wid=2500

And the ZIP attachment with the PNGs and WEBPs (for anybody to screw around with):

Now that I can finally post more photos, I’d like to preview the other 8 of them:

Link to them is in the previous post…

Hi, where did you get that 960 figure from? The nes has 256 horizontal resolution 256 x 3 = 768

720 is correct, the nes has 240 vertical resolution 240 x 3 = 720

Sure - it’s how crt tvs actually worked with nes and snes image - they have been stretching horizontal part to make it 4:3. For game developers it sometimes meant that they need to draw a vertical oval to make it look like a circle when players see that on their TVs. You can find more about by searching for “nes aspect ratio”, eg. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/916396-super-nintendo/77113211 Using a 720 horizontal as a starting point, horizontals would be 720*4/3=960 That’s essentially the same as 4:3 mode in nes and snes classic, as well as in virtual console on Nintendo consoles (eg 3ds)

Hello Exodus, Sorry for the newbie question how do I install this on my Streamlabs twitch page on Mac? Im confused here

Hey. I’m just wondering why these weren’t designed to use Integer Scale? Integer scale works best with CRT shaders so I thought bezels were then used to hide black area caused by Integer Scale?

Wow this is lovely, I may try doing a vector retracing!!!

Sorry for the late reply, but I’m glad somebody found a use for my Philips TV Image Finds.

Hi, I’ve created custom bezels using one of your frames. I’d like to share them more widely but figured I’d ask first

@lukeskope Has you made more consoles with this style?

Am I allowed to use one of the overlays as part of my stream scenes? This is an example

I got bored, so this is my new edit of the Toshiba Flat. Now it has a curvation. Clean and simple.

I’m an absolute amateur at any sort of graphic design, but I managed to cobble together this silly little overlay made from the CRT frame from this thread plus some random stock images just for funsies:

I’m one of those people who prefer to use underscaling when playing retro games since I find them to look unnaturally blown up when fully scaled a large modern TV. I based this overlay on the 8:7 aspect used by the SNES, scaled to 6x at 4K resolution. You can use the ratio correction setting the Overlays tab to widen it as needed for other systems and the opacity to darken it to your taste. Here’s the files if anybody wants to use this:

Made one more thing in case someone wants it: That one Philips TV with the background and viewport hollowed and out and scaled to perfectly accommodate a 4:3 image, equating to 1920 x 1440 at 4k resolution.
