Please show off what crt shaders can do!

[Nesguy]

Yeah that kinda works. I like how you’ve balanced mask strength and scanline strength. The screenshots are nice, I wonder how it looks outside of screenshots, though. I think the pixel grid will really interfere with the slotmask at this low of a resolution.

Why the weird aspect ratio, though?

[r3spawned]

I realised today that it isn’t even the shader causing it (which I thought it was), just having Gsync enabled caused the brightness flickering. I guess i’m now in the wrong thread. Thanks for your answer anyway

[BendBombBoom]

After a little selling and trading I’m using an Asus x13 which has a 16x10 aspect ratio. (It’s like the new Surface Studio laptops at half the price.) I’ve run a few games and I like how it looks in motion but I’m on a 13.4 inch screen. It might fall apart on a bigger monitor.

Hello People,

I hope you’ve all had a good festive break.

Can I ask a question please.

I’ve been using shaders for the first time and they’re fantastic - on a 1080p screen with the crt-guest-advanced-hires.slangp

I’ve been getting a lot of flickering when playing megadrive games. The walls on Marble Zone (these throb/flicker at randon times, very noticeable when they’re scrolling) and also the menus on Sensible Soccer. (Only when I highlight certain menu bars, it will then cause other menu bars to shimmer/flicker)

Is it just the shaders doing their CRT impersonations? Can it be switched off?

I hope I explained that well.

[DariusG]

Because I guess the high res version will treat all input like 480i. So you must switch to a non high res version. That should be used on 480i systems.

Since you’re new you can take a look at these. They contain shader presets that are optimized for different resolutions.

CyberLab Mega Bezel Death To Pixels Shader Preset Pack

This is a moment some have been waiting for. By popular request, I’m moving my CyberLab Mega Bezel Death To Pixels Shader Preset Pack to it’s new home in it’s own thread! In commemoration of this significant milestone, I’ve included 2 updated versions of my venerable CyberLab Mega Bezel Death To Pixels (Composite - Sharp) and (Arcade - Sharp) presets! In my opinion these latest versions are some of my best work to date but they couldn’t have arrived without all the lessons learnt from all the o…

I love the way the slot mask looks in these shots but as someone else said - your scan lines are very faint.

[crtJoe]

My previous slotmask attempt. Looks okay in close-up but in normal distance it’s quite burry

[DariusG]

That looks like some smart coding, I guess that is Guest.r-Dr.Venom?

That’s crt-royale if you are talking about the pic of E-Honda

Every time I try to copy a preset someone posts I always get the “failed to apply shader preset” error. I’ve wiped my shader folder and redownloaded the latest + whatever the poster says is required but it always fails. I copy their preset, save as a slangp file, and place file into my shader folder.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

[hunterk]

probably just path issues. you just have to make sure you put the preset where it’s supposed to be to find all of the shaders.

[Fab]

If you activate the “logs” console on RetroArch (or if you let it save them in a text file) you can have a precise idea of what’s missing or of the paths you should use. Try it!

[BendBombBoom]

Slot Masks make me nuts. I want it sharp but it because a noisy pattern so quick. Here is another attempt with mask 3. My comprise is softer scanlines that turn into blobby dots in the brights.

[HereticZero]

A fair while back my last post was this. So, for nearly the past two months, I’ve spent all my free time creating perhaps the greatest general purpose Advanced preset for SDR displays ever, only to come back and find that slang shaders now support HDR. Oh well, it probably works well in both,

These forgo masks in order to achieve maximum brightness with minimum color degradation (without HDR). Their strongest point, however, is a carefully configured beam profile.

If I were given a choice between an actual Trinitron and these presets I might just choose the presets. They really need to be seen in motion, so copy them and give them a go. (And maybe tell me how it looks on an OLED display if you can?)

A bit more elegant approach to the shader i did here

Simpler without unneeded stuff, but still brightness is killed overall on a normal monitor.

Hi! I use this setting with ntsc-adaptive with hyllian-sync and Guest custom-sharpen. I like how the scanlines are very thick in the dark parts without losing saturation, as well as I love the formed spikes.

However, I could not configure scanlines similarly in guest-venom-advanced-ntsc as scanlines always lose saturation. So I tried combining ntsc-adaptive with custom-fast-sharpen and image-adjustment with guest-dr-venom-kurozumi, but it results in an error when executing the preset I made. Could someone please let me know where I was wrong?

Here is the preset I tried to make:
