Please show off what crt shaders can do!

I only tried the Death To Pixels pack and didn’t like them. I’ll try some of the other packs. I’ve been away from the scene for several years (since Hyperspin lost it’s popularity) and just came back now that I have a 65" 4K OLED. Are there any special settings I need to configure in RA to get these shaders looking like the screen shots? For some reason, the scanlines look bigger on my display (LG C2 65") and that’s not the effect I want. I kind of like the subtle, less blury bilinear filter (?) of MAME but was never able to get my emulators to look like that.

Latest ‘ntsc-simple’ with ‘zfast-crt-composite’ on an old 2016 phone, full speed ofc

This is a picture of my OLED tv:

I just lovethis consumer-crt shader :sweat_smile:

Playing with deconvergence settings, testing a different way that I was used to. I like these settings better.

Wow! Thank you guys. I’m playing with deconvergence, there are 2 Modes I like. one with deconvergence that I used most but with few teaks on gamma, and the other one covergence with max strenght… :grinning: these shots are made with deconvergence with some gamma tweaks.

I seriously doubt there was a sf2 cab with picture quality like that

Well, I can’t remember how it looked on an arcade cabinet. What I really know is how does it look on my CRT and I copying that the best I can :sweat_smile:

I can remember playing sf2 champion edition at my local video shop … and at the time I was just focused on beating my m8

Summer 1cc accomplished!

:partying_face: :partying_face: :partying_face:

Progear No Arashi (japanese version), cleared with my “standard” guest adv preset!

Just 13M and less then 2M short for the 4th extra life but it was enough in the end!

Hello Hyllian. Your shader based on cer-royal is very nice, but I would like to know how to add some curvature and how to decrease the game screen a bit, since I notice that using the bezels from the bezel project, the screen is a bit oversized and becomes it loses a bit of the image. Thank you!
