Well at least I’m not crazy, I’ll figure out if my monitor will even support 120khz
You mean 120 Hz vertical refresh rate, right? 120 KHz would refer to horizontal refresh rate. As long as your monitor supports 480 lines at 60 Hz (that would be 31 KHz output, which your monitor certainly supports), it ought to be able to output 240 lines at 120 Hz, which is also 31 KHz output…

Honestly the interlacing shader looks almost identical to “true” 240p on a 31 kHz monitor.
It’s also not that hard to set up true 240p, though. Custom Resolution Utility is how I did it.

I used to have a CRT monitor 240p setup myself some years back. I tried both the “true” and “fake” 240p methods, and after applying BFI on the former, I literally couldn’t tell the difference between them, so I just went with the latter because it’s also compatible with 480i whenever it shows up in a game.
I really miss that monitor…

Then, yes that. Idfk anything about CRT monitors tbh, CRT TV’s I’m more comfortable with.
I’ll have to look into that this weekend.
I don’t think my monitor likes 480i, or at the very least it’s yet again a MiSTer issue (PS1 core said no)

I smashed together venom fast and reshade to make an “FX” shader. Is it good? I don’t know but it’s entertaining. It works best with games like Super Metroid and top down shooters. It’s hard to capture the split second flares and bloom so I’ve found some screenshots and exaggerated them for viewing. It’s better in motion when gun shots or sword slashes flare up.
You can dial things up and down with the threshold values. If you download it and find a game that shows off the silly FX let me know.

Ha! Love it. There is something about putting over the top effects on these things that I quite like the idea of. Nothing to do with CRTs just putting a completely different art style in. I haven’t really experimented with the shader’s that already exist in this direction.

This shader is so fun to use, pretty much any game you throw on turns it into a whole new experience and I love it. Thanks for this one

Here we go another guest shader update another shader tweak. @guest.r I like the new additions especially that alternate bloom and luma grain, made good use of both of those. Just like my last post I included presets of both warm and cool temperatures to play with:
You must have guest’s latest shader update for my presets to display properly which you can find here.
@HyperspaceMadness you already know lol. As always, hope you all enjoy.

An example how i like to play some games, but is quite a quick setup.
Sometimes i find the Smart Edge Interpolation feature very handy also.

That looks great! Would you mind sharing the preset?

Sure, maybe it needs some more tweaking though.

Good work from the master himself! Maybe you should start including your current personal shader preset as an example preset in your package from now on!
I could see this benefiting many users, both new and experienced alike.

It would require a special parameter with substractive sharpness. Been thinking about it since a long time ago and found a very nice code solution, will add it as a new release soon.
