Good (or best) shaders for Reicast

RetroArch Additions Shaders

Thanks a lot Tatsuya79,

#45

What resolution should I set in the Reicast core options if I want to use a CRT shader ?

#46

Either something that ends in ~240 or use a shader that forces a 240-ish vertical res before applying the CRT effect.

#47

But Dreamcast resolution was higher than 240p, right ?

#48

Yeah, but with CRT effects, it still looks better at 240p, usually. People frequently do that IRL using Extron Emotias. Nevertheless, there are a handful of CRT shaders that handle interlacing properly, including CRT-Geom and CRT-Royale, and for those, 640x480 is a good size and it will jitter the image realistically.

For some reason geom is not working for me for Reicast; I get a black screen with it.

Try the glsl version if you are using cg. CG shaders tend to have that problem with GL cores like Reicast. Sometimes enabling Shared Context under Settings, Core will fix the black screen too.

Thanks Awakened.

The glsl geom version goes black on me for the NAOMI games.

I have shared enabled.
