Please show off what crt shaders can do!

This append/prepend system can give some nice results even with the simplest shaders.

Tap on image then zoom in for best viewing. Desktop users, right click then Open in New Tab, then press F11 for FullScreen. Non 4K users, zoom in until it looks correct.

Something new i am tweaking around

Here’s a video showing some of my latest presets in action:

baelog · 11 June 2023 05:49

So I’ve been trying to use my preset on a 4k display and there seems to be another precision issue on the slang shader crt-consumer

Exact same preset on 1440p:

DariusG · 11 June 2023 06:45

Probably need to add another digit, guess that is mask 5? 0.666 should be 0.6666 and 0.333 should be 0.3333

baelog · 11 June 2023 07:35

Was mask 7, size 2

Slot mask width 3, height 2, size 2

DariusG · 11 June 2023 08:49

I was able to reproduce it and gone after removed the 1.0001 in red circle

baelog · 11 June 2023 09:02

yep, that did the trick. Thanks! Now I go back to some more tweaking… guess playing with the shaders and their settings is as much fun as playing the games themselves

gizmo98 · 11 June 2023 12:42

Ecco without a shader. Sega uses blending in “every” genesis/megadrive game to mix neighboring pixels. With blending megadrive/genesis can show > 64 colors at the same time. Without post processing every emulated genesis game looks sharp with color reduction.

Crt vs Shaders, which is which?

gizmo98 · 11 June 2023 13:28

First CRT, second shader?

Cyber · 11 June 2023 14:44

First one CRT, Second one shader.

Mind if I repost this one for the folks at r/crtgaming? @RetroGames4K

Jamirus · 11 June 2023 14:44

Raw output + CRT Lottes-Fast with prescale and imgmod pass.

RetroGames4K · 11 June 2023 14:51

Sure . I love these kind of posts
