edit: if you need a fast shader guest based preset that work on weak device then you can see this
I want to share my presets of crt guest advanced (thanks guest.r for his great work in it), they are generic and should be video compression friendly I tweaked them to get blend of the good of CRT with Composite but with less artifacts (that in all versions except the last V3 (or newer) which has analog artifacts but not clearly or it’s unobtrusively, in other words it should not be annoying)
Note: at least for now both Play! and Beetle PSX (and there are others but I didnt mention them in my examples above) are better be used with the new “Jobima CRT Preset TV 480i V8” since they only has Weave or Bob. Edit: for better quality do this instead
For old V3 or V2 or V1 (For comparison or if you prefer their look) see the post below
There are also fast non-guest presets in the post below (until I open another Topic for them, if I ever do)
Edit: you can download “All-in-1 Jobima Presets” pack from here it has the non-guest and handhelds LCD (see below) with of course my “guest V7” presets and guest Royale like preset

So you used a bit of that new color edge setting I see, I guess it’ll serve useful depending on what your end goal is. Mines was to get the cleanest sharpest composite image I can obtain and that setting serves its purpose ten times over, I can’t stress how much of a big deal that one setting is for me.
Yes it’s useful feature since you can’t sharp the Chroma, I don’t like the very sharp image, also the sharp chroma does not fit Dracula eye in symphony of the night
Kind of figured from your shots above you were aiming for the “Dracula Eyes” look. Yeah I think cranking that setting up will get anything but that look, then again I don’t know since I never tried tweaking for that specific look.
It might be a good idea to find a way to link the specific version of CRT-Guest-Advanced you used to create your presets with the version of the preset pack because CRT-Guest-Advance’s development generally flows at a rapid pace and over time the original look of your presets can change unpredictability if this isn’t taken into account.
no problem, I will update the preset if it break with some CRT-Guest-Advanced update, lets hope CRT-Guest-Advanced stay backward compatible
if for some reason I didnt update it and there are some CRT-Guest-Advanced update that change the original look of the presets then hopefully the users will downgrade CRT-Guest-Advanced with a version close to the date of my preset
Pesonally, I like the softer look of the v7.07 because the mask is less intense and I still use 1080p otherwise, v3.35 was peak for the sharpness of the mask. On a side note, here is a test image you can use that is on shader-previews. It can help with consistently evaluating the differences between versions. I don’t know why it isn’t used more.
