How to fix crtsim mask scale?
I tried so much but I can’t fix that
Sorry for the “non-answer”, but crtsim doesn’t seem to scale its mask well at certain resolutions. You could try to fiddle with its mask scaling parameter, but it’s unlikely the results would be much pleasing. Why don’t you try another shader? If you need some suggestions, just post your machine’s specs and I’m sure people will advise something interesting for you.

If you just want a basic, nostalgic feel, then I suggest you trying newpixie-crt and tweaking it to your taste. Although not exactly accurate, it’s very easy to set a old-tv-style with it.

No visible scanlines gaps, some from bezel/koko-aio/Presets-4.1/tv* may fit as well.

Thank you very much for your suggestion, I will try that at soon.
I’m seeing scanline gaps.
@Retro30 can you help us out a bit more please?
What make and model TV is it?
Is it NTSC, PAL or SECAM?
Can you take some clearer photos of the set displaying your favourite games and/or the 240p Test Suite?
For better photos you might need a camera or camera app which supports Manual/Pro mode.
You can start with a completely dark room, except for the CRT.
You need to stabilize the camera. So no hands/arms floating in the air.
Set your Shutter Speed to 1/60 (for NTSC) (or 1/50 for PAL).
Set your ISO to around 250 or set it depending on what you want to capture clearly. If your whites are blooming/clipping and you want to capture the details of the Mask and Scanlines in the white and brighter highlights, you might have to lower your ISO.
If you want the brightness of your photo to look like the brightness you’re seeing in real life, you might have to raise your ISO.
Lower ISO settings would be more useful to help others see the finer details of the CRT itself so that we can attempt to reproduce/simulate it.
I prefer to use Manual Focus but you can take your chances with Auto Focus if you wish.
As for White Balance. You can take the easy route and set it between 4300K and 5000K or just try to get the colours to match what you’re seeing in real life as best as possible.
We would definitely need some close up shots showing the Mask, RGB Phosohors and Scanline gaps clearly.
Come back with a nice collection of some clean, clear pictures and that screen should be recreated in no time.
You might want to lower your contrast a bit if you’re not seeing the scanlines gaps clearly enough.
Take a look at this to have a better understanding of the kind of quality of pics and settings as well which would be more helpful.

My model TV is Toshiba 21v3xel Pal
The problem is I don’t have any consles , but I have receiver able to play video Unfortunately, it does not support 240 resolution, only 480p. I need simulation color of my crt and slotmask The colorimetry shader is similar color but not 100% accurate, about 70 to 90 percent.
