New sonkun crt guest advanced hd presets thread

[Specialt1212]

For these screenshots I didn’t apply a filter so you can see the raw image.

#1 was take at the 1560 x 720 resolution.

#2 was take at the 2340 x 1080 resolution.

#3 was take at the 3120 x 1440 resolution.

The 2nd & 3rd screenshot appear to be showing the same resolution though.

#4 has your 1080p shadow mask shader applied to the phone resolution of 1560 x 720.

#5 has your 1080p shadow mask shader applied to the phone resolution of 2340 x 1080.

Hopefully these screenshots show up ok. If you need me to upload them somewhere, please let me know.

Screenshots are perfect thanks for posting. Go with 2340x1080 for 1080p presets, those look the way Shadow Mask is intended to look at that resolution. How does the 1440p preset look with 3120x1440 resolution? I assume they’ll look just as good as the 1080p one.

Here’s the 1440p shader applied to the phone resolution of 3120 x 1440.

Nice. Hmm, the mask looks a little chunkier than I would like. I say stick with the 1080p one for now.

Lower output resolution is also better for battery life.

Thanks for the responses. The reason I was messing with retroarch on my phone is because I’m interested in getting a dedicated retro handheld such as the Retroid Pocket 5 or Ayn Odin 2. They both have a 1920 x 1080 display (5.5 - 6 inches) and I was trying to test out what it may look like on my phone before I bought one of those handhelds. Thank you both for your work. I love your shaders. Keep up the great work!

Appreciate it and I hope you enjoy. I also gotta thank you as well because of this conversation I’m going to pick up a monitor that displays 2560x1440 tomorrow for dirt cheap just so I can fine-tune my 1440p presets.

My setup can display 1080p and 4k so I get hands on tweaking when dealing with those presets but with 1440p I’m left in the dark and just used values that indeed works for that resolution. But I also want hands-on tweaking with that resolution like the other 2 to really give it that sonkun touch.

Once I get it and if I have to make changes I’ll for sure be posting up a new pack strictly for 1440p users. I have a feeling ill be rearranging the Shadow Mask 1440p presets for sure, at least the mask settings.
