Post Your Overlays!

I made some 4K overlays since I couldn’t find any at the quality I was looking for. These are made to maximize screen real estate and will work at 4:3 scaling, or custom scaling for those games that have black borders. Many of these are inspired by the consoles design, so they aren’t 100% accurate to the source, they are just formatted to look nice as bezels/overlays.

I use the CRT_Geom shader with these settings changed and the screens are curved exactly where they need to be:

CRT Geom Curvature Radius: 3.00

CRT Corner Size: 0.00

CRT Geom Sharpness: 3.00

*edit - seems the file size was too big for some of these to post to imgur as png files so I’ve posted all my overlays on Mega (Including some not previewed here):

These look fantastic. Thank you for sharing! Love the Neo Geo in particular.

Thanks, there’s also a version of the Neo Geo overlay without the logo in the Mega link. It’s called GamerTV.

I should also mention to those who may be hesitant about these being 4K if they don’t have a 4K display. These should scale down to other 16:9 resolutions with no issue.

Standard .cfg is (Name the .cfg same as pic name):

overlays = 1

overlay0_overlay = RE1-type1.png

Great work! Once you finish it, you could post a link/png; I would love to test it out :slight_smile:

What is the shader preset you used in those pics?

Thanks Kondorito! I was very sleepy last night when I posted this and I forgot to put the link to the video! Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTtKSQ_U5Fs Also, download link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ua9JaZyLU7rPm2lLCEkFxIoEKCCn-np6/view

Really nice ! Could you convert your shader to GLSL ? CGP is deprecated nowadays. (And maybe convert to Slang for Vulkan ?)

Mmm I didn’t know about this, let me see what I can do.

EDIT: For the life of me I can’t make CRT Royale GLSL shader (Which this is a modiefied version of) work on my computer. I only get a black screen. Well here’s a download link for you to try https://drive.google.com/open?id=1y1v7ONWGUbvLb1QTVeuz6Avg_Nttbxza

EDIT2: I can’t make this work with vulkan because CRTRoyale doesn’t have all the same parameters under it. I’ll have to create a workaround.

Would you mind making one version without the background and the TV zoomed in to fill the upper and lower screen?

No I wouldn’t. Here you go: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1h64cFSvjGTCFgK5TRIJWaPlK6VlKTK5P

Thank you :wink: That looks sleek.

Noticed there weren’t a lot of old GB overlays available so I worked up one for DMG and one for Gameboy Color http://www.mediafire.com/file/3tash6781yp8oyj/gameboy-simple.zip/file

With Ozone being in the works and just getting a Nintendo Switch myself. I decided to recreate the overlay used in the NES Switch Online app.

custom_viewport_height = “1080”

custom_viewport_width = “1440”

custom_viewport_x = “240”

custom_viewport_y = “0”

Damn, I had an idea to do something like that, but I couldn’t get the dots to look right. How did you do the dot pattern?

I just laid out a grid and have the circles increase in increments of 2 pixels after every 2 circles of that size.

That was way different than my approach. I made the dot pattern, and defined a pattern in photoshop as those dots. Then I filled the canvas with the pattern. image

Definitely a lot blurrier than yours.

Yeah I tried doing that but circles with odd integer sizes don’t fit properly and just makes everything blurry like you said.
