I believe you would need to change the actual image to match. Shaders with borders don’t do any sort of stretching/scaling on their own, they just map the image as a lookup-texture.
[QUOTE=Spaceman;27188]Nobody? I’ve searched this forum and the web to my question but all answers are via P.M[/QUOTE] I actually posted the solution in this thread on the previous page: http://libretro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=481&p=8013&viewfull=1#post8013
I’ve actually been working on an updated version based on some of the enhancements in shaders over the past year, should work alot better with any monitor dimensions and be more natural looking and hopefully less resource intensive. Will try and post it soon after a bit more tweaking.
Cant wait to see this, as I am a big fan of your “old” pack and like it a lot 
.
Figure i’d throw a teaser out there, the gif may have a bit of color loss due to compression but it shows the 4 flavors/signal quality you will be able to select from when its completed. Unfortunately screenshots don’t do it justice as you need to see it in motion but at least you get a good idea
The best part though is no more CPU filters, NTSC strictly done with shaders and works across all consoles.
Also here is a shot with Pitfall through the 1970s TV shader, this should those old-school games look a bit less blocky
The Legend of Zelda 2 for NES
Ohhhh yes, this looks very promising. The Dot-masks are close to real ones. I also like, that there is less fisheye/barell-distortion. The old version was a little to high for my taste. If you want to include the TV-Overlay again, then i would recommend to remove the dropshadow for the screen where the game is placed in. This is unnatural, a real CRT looks more like this: http://i.imgur.com/yovHcf5.jpg At least i would make the shadow softer. All in all this looks awesome… good job.

Thanks for the feedback, I still need to tweak it a bit, hopefully will have a release by the weekend. While I do enjoy big thick scanlines, I feel on LCDs the resolution isn’t quite there that they end up darkening the picture too much or removing key pixel detail. The dot-masks are a better compromise and more closer to the American style TVs I grew up with. I’m sure Europeans with their superior SCART connections would remember things differently.
Here is a good comparison of a standard S-video tv v.s RGB on a Sony PVM. I have a PVM stashed away somewhere and I do enjoy the bright and crisp picture, but there is still something about the inferior s-video and composite signals creating a more “natural” picture through visual trickery of the dot pitch, take a look at the detail in the grass for instance. Alot of the old developers really knew how to exploit the weaknesses of cable signals to do some amazing things…

Also everyones monitor in this world is totally different and everyone has different brightness and color settings, I just logged into my work PC and I think my screenshots are a bit too dark already compared to mine at home. I was thinking of using an iPad to final color correct as it is a pretty good industry standard IPS, any thoughts on that?
Blimey! It looks almost perfect.
Great work, yeah it’s odd that depending where you grew up you have an nostalgia tendency weather something looks ‘right’ from your childhood where shaders are concerned. I look at these ntsc shaders and think they look completely wrong but then someone from the USA would think the absolute opposite!!.
I’m in an odd situation where ever since the snes I’ve had an ntsc consoles using a UK TV with UK RGB scart cable…I guess I got the best of both worlds

Exactly 
… But i am with solid12345. People underestimate the “weaker” signals. If you take a C64 for example, then you know how usefull a composite signal / shader can be. As the maximum you can get out of a real C64 is S-Video and only if you are modding it.
I like to have and to use those “weaker” signal paths, as there are many consoles (atari 2600, coleco etc.) and home computer stuff from my childhood memories, that used those signals.
But i found the comparison example from solid12345 not really good. First the Sony is a BVM which is a difference to PVM and i even believe that the picture is fake, because there is nearly no slotmask at all. It looks more like a LCD with shaders screenshot, then a BVM monitor. Both pictures are not scaled equally etc.
I understand what solid12345 wants to explain here, thats important, so no offence here .
I have a NEC 3PG (XM29 equivalent) monitor for my own fun and it looks a lot more different than this Sony BVM picture, but still awesome of course 
.
I appreciate the feedback all, I had forgotten it was a holiday weekend but did find some time to adjust more, almost ready to release it. It’s hard to describe how much better it looks in motion but hopefully these screens will do justice, I’ve used Mario 3 as an example, its a bit more colorful and “pixelly” than latter era PS1 games so it should show off the differences more.
New version looking nice, though I find it funny how it looks kinda similar to the results I got after taking the previous version of your pack and customizing it a bit.
Where can I download this shader?
The new version isn’t released yet
I am just about finished, when I get home from work tonight I can do some last minute tweaks and sort up the file directories and release it. I figure if I keep tweaking forever it will never get released, there can always be a version 3. I’ll probably start a new thread too to keep things simpler.
Hi there
I love the Screenshots from your shaders in this thread. I cant get it to work on my nvidia shield Android tv System.
Using the nightly retroarch Version. Core is the bsnes for trying it.
When i set your shader it only gets a white screen.
I have tried your Version 2 shader pack too without border but its the same thing. Only white screen.
Maybe u know wich settings i have to made to get it to work?
I spend hours to find out by myself but im new to this and i havent figured it out 
I think your shader if worked are just 100% that picture im searching for to play my old snes Favorites.
Greetz 
Could the reason be that your shaders are in cg Format? I readed that Android Devices need to use converted shaders in glsl Format.?!
Maybe i can just change the shaders with ones in glsl Format… 
Will trie it when im home from work.
Greetz
Correct. Cg shaders don’t work on Android. Unfortunately, there are no GLSL versions of this preset, AFAIK.
I have converted all needed for the presets… They are loading now on Android but all are not correct
Its not that easy with just converting all.
So i wait maybe it will be Released in the Future
To be honest Taggy I can’t imagine even if you got everything ported and “working” on Android it would be fruitless in the end, I imagine with how many shaders I got stacked going on it would kill the framerate on lower end hardware like the Shield. But I salute your effort!
