crt-guest, Mask 7 vs. Mask 8, both with Mask Zoom: 1 (it seems they’re the only masks that aren’t in some way disaligned by the zoom). Which do you prefer?

Hello guys, I’m new here and have a silly question. I hope it’s ok to ask here. I recently bought the rg353ps from anbernic. I know the resolution (640x480) is too low for any scanlines or mask but I was really bored and found something interesting. If I use the pi-vertical shader and turn down the scanlines completely. I get something like this and imo it looks great (it produce some nice scanlines? and blend the pixel nicely)
The only problem is I get some pink/green lines on edges. On white it is more noticeable. Is there something I can do about it?

Try “ossc”, it’s on “scanlines” folder. Then pick LINES = 2.0 in options, see if it’s any better. What you do now is using magenta-green mask as scanlines
I looked in the scanline folder but there is nothing on my unit. I tried to download them from github but sadly they won’t work.
Are you using pure Ubuntu with Retroarch apt or snap package or something else?

I’m using arkos on my rg353ps. It’s ubuntu based
tested on an old 800x480 cellphone i have, these shaders work nicely

I have two 640x480 TVs (and a 540p phone, but I haven’t used it for emulation for a long time). Usually I use TV-Out Interlacing preset or something from the scanlines folder. On your 3,5" screen, I guess masks can look ok, real-life tiny crts also have really low TVL ratings. Minimum mask on 480p = 240 TVL.
On a 20" inch TV, this makes everything look too rough (actual CRT TVs have usually like ~360 TVL at that size), so I stick to scanlines only.

I dowloaded the missing scanline shaders again this morning and now they seem to work. Really like how it looks on this small screen

Very very …less brightness in the first screet shoot, maybe lost a bit of details but in the crt/arcade vintage way.
You mean you would like (much) less brightness in the first one?
