I have updated the recent download link with a new version, two small regressions were found. One in fact affected overall brightness, other was vignette / image frame related. Otherwise the most prominent change regarding the default appearance from January 18th is the glow range.

I really like the improvements to the shader, especially the higher res content. It’s cool how interlacing can create scanlines now. I’m undecided which method of interlacing I like more. Both look nice.

New preset is similar to the old one now.

For infos,
1080p GPU : intel UHD620 Vulkan
crt-guest-advanced + Xbr-lv3, shader scale 3X, pre-scale x-factor 3.

I’ve created a preset for the NES. It prepends nes-color decoder, colorimetry, and pixellate before crt-guest-advanced and appends a scanline interpolation shader pass (also made by @guest.r)
It’s made for 4K but you can use it @1080p by changing the mask size to 1.
If using Mesen, for example, change the palette to RAW. It’s configured to use the Sony cxa2025as palette
The idea behind this preset is to create a bright, consumer TV preset that accurately mimics a Sony Trinitron TV.
First, you need this to be present in \RetroArch\shaders\shaders_slang\crt\shaders\guest (call it coarse.slang)
Coarse.slang

vTexCoord = TexCoord;
}
#pragma stage fragment
layout(location = 0) in vec2 vTexCoord;
layout(location = 0) out vec4 FragColor;
layout(set = 0, binding = 2) uniform sampler2D Source;
void main()
{
vec2 tex = vTexCoord;
vec2 pos = tex * params.OutputSize.xy;
vec2 dy = dsize*vec2(0.0, params.OutputSize.w);
float mixer = floor(mod(pos.x,2.0));
tex = mix(tex + 0.0*dy, tex - dy, mixer);
FragColor = vec4(texture(Source, tex).rgb, 1.0);
}

What settings did you use for that second one?
Please, can you explain it? I don’t know how to do the mix between crt advance and xbr. Can you help me or share your shader settings in a .slang file or files?

I was originally going to put these in the crt show off thread, but everyone’s showing off over here.

I can post setting when I’m near my fun times computer. It’s just a slightly altered VenomAdvanced NTSC shader. The blurring and smearing actually work out great for the higher res content.

You can load a scaler (xBR) instead of the first stock pass, increase the scaling, and then increase the “Prescale-X Factor (for xBR…pre-shader)” parameter.

This is my “composite” style shader as it beats up your SNES and Genesis games pretty good but looks great on Dreamcast and upscaled Ps1.

Ok, I know. Thanks, I have done it all and works. Low speed in my smartphone, but it works.
thanks!

Sorry with the difference of time… i can’t answer you before… but you got your answer.

can you shared your preset ? grade + crt-guest-advanced + glass
i would like to give a try please. (but i don’t know how to combinate the 3 shaders)

For Infos:
In 1080p i have more accurate result with xbr2 to compare with xbr3.
xBR2 (scale shader 3) + crt-guest advance + pre-scaler x factor X3 is my choice at the moment.

Good catch, fixed now.
New Release Version (18.02.2021-r1):
Notable changes:
- 224p scanline mode enabled now with NTSC and Hires versions.
- Small cleanup of unused code.

You can use grade instead of the first stock pass and increase the number of passes to add the glass shader as the last one. Grade is found in the /misc folder, glass.slang should be downloaded from:
and also put into the /misc folder.
