Please show off what crt shaders can do!

I got a 4K OLED TV recently and I’m wondering if anyone has any cool 4K setups to share? I’m currently using CRT-Geom + NTSC-adaptive with the luminance turned up somewhat. Kinda simplistic but it’s what I was using on my 1080p monitor.

[Syh]

I don’t really have any suggestions for settings but guest dr venom advanced is amazing and has some settings options for 4k and is easier to get your head around than royale imho.

It also has ntsc options as well!

[Jamirus]

Thanks, I actually like the bonus GTU the best, though none of these standard options really mimic the examples in my eyes. MAME NTSC in particular looks terribly blurry, I never use it in a preset for anything.

In standalone MAME, it’s possible to switch the Apple II display to black & white and then get color through HLSL settings (the parameters apparently still buried in a forum post, sigh). That also looks reasonably good but HLSL is relatively demanding and I find a little awkward to use.

[Nesguy]

The gtu one is crushing the highlights pretty severely (look at the white text). That’s a lot of lost detail and doesn’t look natural. Try Gdv-ntsc with the interlacing trick to remove scanlines.

[Nesguy]

I second guest-dr-venom. With the addition of the sharpness filter to gdv-ntsc, there is no reason to use a different shader IMO.

[Jamirus]

Doing a quick test with GDV NTSC. This is shrunk down for comparsion with the other examples. Looks a little rough. In practice, I’d also need it to actually look good on the actual CRT TV, Mednafen is the only option currently it seems since the commonly used Applewin doesn’t output 240p (actual Apple II output is 192 lines).

[Nesguy]

If it looks rough you have 10+ settings for controlling the filtering/sharpness and the ntsc artifacting, it should be possible to achieve whatever look you’re going for.

[Syh]

This is way less grumpy than my reply sounded

[Jamirus]

Sure, you can go for various composite looks, I’m struggling to replicate e.g. the pattern on the back of the monster though.

[Tamagon]

Thanks for the suggestion. There’s guest-dr-venom and guest-dr-venom-2 in the repo…I assume 2 would be better?

I use HSM Mega Bezel Reflection shader with glass preset. I don’t recommend the regular ones because you’ll get burn in (monitor overlay). Using glass looks nice because the whole screen is filled in and it wears out the screen evenly. BTW, I’ve had my LG C9 65" since Feb 2020 and I have no issues with burn in so don’t worry too much about burn in.

For non HD games (224p, 240p) I recommend these changes:

Int Scale Mode = 1
Int Scale Multiple Offset = 1

[HyperspaceMadness]

If you aren’t using the Mega Bezel, you will want to grab @guest.r’s latest from here as it is still being developed with a new feature here and there (Although quite stable, so no worries there, his latest has a great NTSC version) :

New CRT shader from Guest + CRT Guest Advanced updates

New Release Version (2021-07-17-r1): Notable changes: NTSC resolution scale option added. While true scaling tricks are possible i managed to tweak the ntsc shaders into simulated scaling, so the 1st pass x - scale can stay at 4.0x. Default value for the control parameter is 1.0 and the effect is the same as with prior versions. Raising the value produces a sharper, cleaner image, but dithering becomes visible. Anti-dithering passes can still be used as prior shaders in the preset though. …

[Nesguy]

Depends on what you’re going for, guest-advanced-ntsc is also amazing. I use it for all home consoles, and I use regular guest-advanced for arcade stuff.

[guest.r]

Thanks for the nice support of the ntsc version. I like to use it with PS2 games too, since i think the ntsc signal addition makes is more authentic.

Here is an example (2x internal resolution), best viewed with 100% dpi scaling:

Playing around with mask 7 and deconvergence. It’s possible to get something akin to rgb phosphors using a BW mask with the right deconvergence settings.

Japanese arcade style display shaders

I saw this in a mame thread. Someone achieved the look through HLSL shaders in mame. Has anyone come close mimicing a similar style with RetroArch shaders ? A similarly nicely looking effect can be seen in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GdA657DZIw (the game is super contra) [image][image] More: [image][image]

This may or may not be the best place to ask but given how niche this topic is, I guess I have no choice… Any Mame users with HLSL experience willing to help me figure out how to adjust black levels so the grey matches the pure black of the monitor?

I’m kinda new to HLSL and have only played around with stock settings, not changing anything

I realize I’m asking for Mame help in a RA thread but it’s the one emulator I prefer to use standalone while I use RA for almost everything else exclusively https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/395642834285494272/869756291864727572/PXL_20210728_013942665.jpg

I think it’s likely that it’s a gamma setting which needs to be adjusted. Basically gamma will make the darks darker, so makes those things that look gray (but shouldn’t) closer to black

I know you like Mame for arcade stuff, but can I tempt you with the Mega Bezel?

HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader! - Feedback and Updates

[Mega_Bezel_Logo] This thread is about the HSM Mega Bezel Reflection shader, so you can tell me what’s working for you and what could be better The shader is in a beta state, getting close to a V1, there will be some changes coming here and there, but almost all the parameter names are not going to change anymore. Try adjusting the shader parameters to change the look, as most things are adjustable for personal taste. SPECIAL THANKS TO MY PARTNER ON THIS PROJECT: I want to thank @Duimon, m…

I almost forgot about this, i’ll have to give it a shot in RA soon! It’s been a while since I used bleeding edge in RA but I remember it being kinda subpar and I don’t want to regress to a much older version even if it’s core is better optimized for RA

Maybe @Duimon can comment on this as he has lots of experience with Mame and I think uses a recent Mame core…

I can only speak for the Software lists but whenever a new machine is listed as working in the whatsnew.txt it works in the MAME core also.

I can say that on underpowered devices the stand-alone is faster.
