Please show off what crt shaders can do!

Oh I understand now,I just saw a commit change occured on sep 26,2022 https://github.com/libretro/slang-shaders/tree/master/blurs and my folders tree is not the same. Have fun!

The preset for these images can be found over on the CRT Guest Advanced thread. Now if you will excuse me, I allready have a few ideas on how to one-up myself.

The Streets of Rage title screen is becoming a favorite of mine for demonstrating fidelity. Blaze’s hair is so sensitive.

Maybe you guys can help me out, I’m working on some new settings for my next shader pack update and I want to try adding in the shader “moire-resolve” shader from the crt folder into the guest advanced ntsc chain as either pass 0 or pass 8 (both stock pass slots). When I try to add it to either slot I come up with a “failed to apply” error. Do I have to write something into the “alias” line to get it to stick? I wanna see what that shader is about.

[hunterk]

It’s just curvature plus really fancy (and, tbh, unnecessarily expensive) noise to mitigate moire patterns.

If I had to guess why it’s not loading, it’s probably a conflict with the parameters. This shader has a bunch of generically-named parameters that probably clash with ones already used in long shader chains.

[sonkun]

I have a feeling adding that shader in will cause more problems than it’ll solve after loading it up by itself and looking at it, guess I’ll leave that shader alone. Thanks for the answer.

[guest.r]

You can try it as the last pass shader or just before the deconvergence pass, otherwise it might not have the desired effect. Ofc. adding some static noise from the ‘GDV’ shader might mitigate moire also.

Edit: @hunterk is right, the warpX, warpY, maskDark and maskLight parameters exist in both shaders.

[hunterk]

Yes, using GDV’s own noise should be pretty much the same thing.

[sonkun]

Yeah once I saw all of that in the shader it had to go, it’s basically all of your shader settings copied to that one. Would be nice if there was some kind of “anti moire” shader that does just that only. I’m sure a shader like that would probably bring it’s own set of new issues though.

[HereticZero]

I think I have an absolute masterpiece of a preset. I might even be willing to slap my name on it and share it as a slangp file. The one I maintain and keep up-to-date with @guest.r’s CRT Guest Advance rather than constantly discarding and revising.

But it will have to wait until I can freely do so without being drop dead tired. I don’t trust my ego at the moment.

Here’s some screenshots:

What do you guys think?

Mask accuracy vs colour accuracy in HDR - a conundrum:

Sony Megatron Colour Video Monitor

Just updated my new default and GBA-GBI presets to be ‘colour accurate’ rather than ‘mask accurate’ as being mask accurate really does break the colours on my display and doesn’t lead to any, significant at least, break down in the mask. In fact I’d go as far as saying it doesn’t seem to break the mask at all. The close up photos of my display above seem to confirm this too - there is no cyan/magenta/yellow peeping through on my photos (I think). This is confusing me a lot! Am I just not seei…

[HereticZero]

I considered starting my own thread like @sonkun, but I figured I should wait until I have more than just 2 presets with one just being a variant of the other. I also considered explaining why I decided to call this “Opus”, but I’m tired again.

Here’s the link: https://mega.nz/file/RfcEAAAb#sd5eMLe4W05m5lO83YAtekOTdmVMxASnYs4-wNSR3LI

Oh yeah… a slight revision from the previous post, Blaze’s hair was just a little bright so I changed darkboost from 0.65 to 0.60.

Hey, this looks very nice, even with 1440p. Must be real a 4k pearl indeed.

[sonkun]

Really digging that mask look there. I also wanted to ask, I like the Slot Mask look you used in this thread. What mask settings would I have to tweak to make 1440p and 4k versions for that same Slot Mask look?

[guest.r]

The screenshot is using mask 10 with 2.5 stagger value, but TATE is enabled, so the mask is rotated. Only works with recent version of the shader though.
