if it has a way to separate at will the rainbow lines then i think this is the ultimate way to play composite in Sega Genesis console alone, at least. Looks fantastic. Will try out around.

Also go into the parameters and change the “NTSC Scanline Duration (uSec)” down to about the mid 40’s, it expands the look of the rainbow to your liking. I think that’ll bring you a better look. It was starting to look better when I got down to about 46 or so

yeah. Thank you a lot for your suggestion bud. This already looks so good, and even though is just a fast experimental preset, this should be the way to look like with composite + Rainbow in Genesis games. Scantime: 48.80 with GPGX borders to FULL/BlastEm (by default) should have this value in order to show a rainbow that is like 95% accurate with respect to original hardware (in my opinion).

I just tried out your settings and now I don’t see the rainbow anymore what did you do lol. But wow if I can keep that blend look and mix it with that nice sharpness of my presets it would be perfect. I think the rainbow looks a lot better when you bring "NTSC Scanline Duration (uSec) down to 47 and just play with the numbers from there, check it out on Sonic 1 waterfall to see what I mean

doesn’t it load the whole preset for you ?

It does, I’m assuming you changed some settings to your liking, but the rainbow isn’t there anymore for some reason. Also there’s a shader in the ntsc folder called “ntsc-md-rainbows” which is basically the mame encode and decode shaders tweaked and that preset was on the money about that ntsc scanline duration (usec) setting, they have it set to 47.90. That makes the rainbows look just right. You should try it out

Oh and remember. 51.80 is for GPGX core with Borders set to FULL … Without borders, the exact number is 47.70 for scantime I think

Ah ok I see now, I set the borders to full in genesis plus and now it looks the way it’s suppose to, I see you put your own twist to it as well to your liking, nice. Hmm now I’m wondering if i can incorporate this into my 8/16 bit presets but somehow keep the sharpness as well, it might be impossible but it’s worth a try I guess.

I’mt not sure if this composite looking is to your taste but at least, i love to have it as another alternative. Any artifact is welcome… I’m looking up for your presets !

I like it actually, it’s different and brings a nostalgic vibe to it. I don’t know if I’ll be able to pull it off. For starters I believe those mame encode and decode passes should be in the chain after the convert-ntsc pass in the chain instead of having them as the first 2 in the chain, not sure how I can get those there without screwing the whole shader up

I took another stab at it and I think this is the clearest I’ll be able to get with this RF look, try it out and tell me what you think:
One thing is for sure, the waterfalls and pipes are now blended correctly and you now get the rainbow effect in all its glory.

You have to load full resolution then zoom in or view fullscreen in order for these to look correct because of the mask and scanline settings.

I’ve updated my “accurate” presets. They’re designed to be accurate. Basically I’m just trying to recreate the Megatron CVM shader in guest-dr-venom 
100% mask strength, no bloom or other lighting effects. These presets rely purely on the brightness of the display being used for accurate phosphor emulation, so be sure to crank up the backlight.
suggestions for improvement are welcome!
high TVL RGB
low TVL RGB
high TVL NTSC

you can add up: addnoised = “0.520000” noiseresd = “3.000000”
so this way should look more likely to my experience with NES/Genesis RF-switch permanent video signal. Composite definetely don’t have this effect though. At least this way is more likely what I used to get with the Genesis I had and the NES that still do have through RF-Switch.
In NES, I still get the Rainbow colors but really don’t know if it’s the same or more intense than Composite connection though.
Wonderful presets from you bud, keep it up. I’m your fan.
Edit: also, since there’re almost no presets RF-switch as well, I think it fits very well the audio settings > output rate set down to 16000 or 22000 (my taste). Also in there, audio resampler quality set to 1 or “very low”. And in GPGX core options to Mono output.

with this update, do you mean your “CyberLab__Blending-And-Transparency__1080p__PVM-Edition__ADV” preset ?
thanks again for your awesome work. Dithering looking awesome as always.
Edit: I have checked this preset mentioned above and Sonic waterfall looks so crystalline now. This is a little suggestion from my taste if you would like to include it with your composite-looking preset but I like a lot the sound settings with:
- audio_resampler_quality: 1 (or very low)
- audio output rate in: 16000 or 22000
- Genesis Plus GX, audio settings: output sound set to Mono
Keep it up with such awesome work !

your 3rd preset, low TVL RGB should change first sentence to: #reference “high TVL RGB.slangp”
thanks for sharing your cool work around bud-

I was referring to my CyberLab Mega Bezel Death To Pixels Shader Preset Pack in general.
The names of the actual presets used are shown above the screenshots.
In this update, I increased the sharpness setting in my custom Blargg NTSC Genesis Composite CyberLab Special Edition video filter preset.
This method opens the door to even wider use of the Blargg filters. I had tried de-dithering Turbo Duo games using it but it was way too blurry and text was illegible.
I’m definitely going to take a look and see if this can also work for Turbo Duo games which also feature lots of dithering in many titles.
Thanks for the positive feedback and suggestions!
