Please show off what crt shaders can do!

Syh · 2 June 2021 18:01

Hahahahahaha

I see you’ve decided to go to the low sharpness side.

Nesguy · 2 June 2021 18:33

It’s still quite sharp where it needs to be. That’s why Blargg’s filters look good, IMO. NES “feels right” with ntsc emulation. I use rgb for everything else.

Syh · 2 June 2021 18:43

Excuses excuses, I can see your settings lol

Ye, that edge correction guest added to sharpness settings really altered how the sharpness worked.

Nesguy · 2 June 2021 18:48

Yeah I find that higher sharpness settings can cut things off in an awkward-looking way, especially when using shadow masks. I think higher sharpness looks more natural when using aperture grilles. Kinda makes sense, they were sharper IRL.

guest.r · 2 June 2021 20:38

Just having some fun atm., also pleased with some new functionalities, including those for the high-res content.

Syh · 2 June 2021 21:07

Not trying to kiss ass BUT

That shot is awesome, the uninformed could mistake that for an actual CRT capture imho.

Super clean.

Nesguy · 2 June 2021 21:19

Mask looks like a computer monitor, but the scanlines and deconvergence give it a consumer-grade feel. Nice!

So sassy!

Shot looks great btw, nice and soft while maintaining sharpness, colors have a nice pop without being oversaturated.

Nesguy · 2 June 2021 22:33

Haha no sass intended, just happened to be working on that at the same moment that @guest.r posted

I think it’s about as realistic as one can get at 1080p, I try to consider the phosphor triad shape and the number of phosphor triads per scanline as seen on a typical slot mask TV.

alec92 · 3 June 2021 04:25

Color artefacts on first SMW screenshot is an blaarg’s filter effect or filter deconvergence settings ?

KoKlusz · 3 June 2021 12:01

Can you share the settings your using here?

Nesguy · 3 June 2021 14:32

That’s from Blargg’s composite filter

sonkun · 3 June 2021 15:08

Good to see more people using that composite filter, that filter is so sexy

Nesguy · 3 June 2021 15:34

Yeah for whatever reason 8-bit systems just feel right with composite video emulation (NES, Master System, C64, etc).

I use RGB for everything newer than that.

alec92 · 3 June 2021 16:04

Yay, got it. On a down side Brlargg’s composite filter produce visible pixel shimmering/crawling for me on Messen core. It didnt happens on Genesis Plus GX core though.

Nesguy · 3 June 2021 16:21

Dot crawl was definitely a thing with composite video, so it might be intentional.

Syh · 3 June 2021 18:12

Could also be incorrectly scaled afaik.

This stuff is a crapshoot to troubleshoot XD (one minor thing can alter things in very subtle but noticable way.)

alec92 · 3 June 2021 18:49

Well, Ive teste multiple scaling options and leaning towards that pixel crawling is a feature of composite filter - may be thats why shaders like newpixie trying to imitate moving scanline effect.
