I’ve been playing 6th gen consoles using your guest shader reshade port lately and it looks great even at default as they’re suits my taste. Care to share your settings for each Gamecube, PSP and PS2 games? Thank you in advance.

Sorry I forgot to mention my screen resolution, it’s 1080p. Using your settings makes the image very blur, I assume you’re using 4K screen while mine 1080p so it’s not optimized for my screen? Here are some comparison screenshots.
Native PCSX2 resolution (512x448) without ReShade:
My settings for your CRT-Guest-NTSC default as it scales good on my screen with only changes to curvatures and Resolution X - Resolution_X 720, Resolution Y - Resolution_Y 540 (I’m using this X and Y settings from your post here: I've ported Guest-Dr-Venom to ReShade!):
Your settings from your reply:

Or perhaps I should use your settings for 3D games at the bottom?

Is this a retroarch preset?
if yes, what’s that PreprocessorDefinitions option for?
edit: ok it’s a reshade one right?

Yes. That’s a ReShade preset.
Wow. I’m speechless in pure joy… Hahaha
All those colors and the bloom effect blends smoothly. Thank you so much for this settings!

This is huge! Did you have to choose DX11 in ReShade for MPC-HC?
Use DX9 ReShade .dll but use DX11 version of CRT-Guest. Dunno why it has to be sets up like that, but it works.

My current preset and a quick summer run to 1cc World Warriors, this time Vega (last boss) got me in the end 
Also, it might be a nostalgia bias but I prefer world warrior’s stages palette to the newer CE and HF. Especially Honda and Guile…
What do you think?

I like them all to be honest but how dare they cut down Sagat stage’s coconut tree!? Are they nuts!?
Brightness and colours look great, vivid! A little bit too much curvature in the horizontal axis for me leading to distortion of the power bars and misaligned text and then the mask is overshadowed by the scanline intensity and bloom so you don’t get that CRT effect when up close but full mask strength also has its own artifacts and challenges to deal with.

yeah, this is tailored for my monitor: 1080p 24’’ “old” asus lcd that I use fairly close to me (less then a m).
I prefer to keep a good balance for my monitor between mask and scanlines: pushing, or using different types of the mask will end up with more problems like brightness, contrast and gamma besides ugly visible patterns and a constant fight against Mr Moire…
I try to make the most for my “visual” pleasure while playing not caring much about crt fidelity at the moment. 
For the curvature I use this because I can use 2 “modes” one full screen (like in the shots) and another one with 1600x900 that fits well with duimon’s overlays curvature:
