Wow, haven’t been on the scene in a bit but this combination looks amazing. It’s like I’m looking at 90’s gaming magazine scans or something.

Hey there!
In a deep nostalgia trip… I’ve tweaked a shader for GameBatte that’s upscaling while still trying to be faithful to the one and only GameBoy Fat. My take on a modern day shader preset equivalent of the LightBoy lense, I guess. XD So it’s Jinc2 + ScaleFX + GBPalette + CRT-Guest-Advanced-NTSC. Because why not.
Shader for 1080p here if you want to try it, but you could increase the size of the mask to fit your resolution in the parameters. https://mega.nz/file/iFxiAb6L#rduVyW2s4L9sjRTWRCxTAyfUvocF5GnFvq0BnQK7nzs

Oh I love this and it’s definitely unique around these parts when it comes to Game Boy Presets! It feels like this is how these games should be played from now on!
Great job!!! Have you tried the Handheld Border Shaders?

Thanks! I think I may add some LCD ghosting effect in a pass after the upscaling. I’ve not tried the handheld borders yet but I’ll sure give it a try at some point.

Have you maybe ever seen an unpleasant side effect of using the CRT shaders? It’s practically impossible to shrink the size of the resulting screenshots with no artifacts if the shader is already applied.
Imagine you want to make a screenshot inside a retro game or capture a video from an emulator. The video on YouTube or an image on Instagram may not always be displayed in its original size. Also, you often scale videos or screenshots during editing. I sometimes see comments on Reddit that some screenshots have to be shown only in 100% size, because the previews have ugly artifacts with big scanlines, which never appeared on the original image. It’s even worse when you apply a curved CRT shader, then your scanlines form curves or even circles, depending on the zoom value. I can attach screenshots if needed.
Hey there!
Still tweaking CRT-Guest-Advanced presets for upscaling a handheld. This time it’s for the GBA. The color correction shaders are making a big difference for me, thank you for those tools!
And after twenty years, old me finally got around to beat a pokemon game (I love emulation’s fast-forward)… XD
