Looks great! Don’t be afraid to make the NES controller a little bigger.

Exactly, in the previous version the scale seemed a bit off.
It doesn’t bother me but with HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader’s lighting features you might be able to simulate an even more realistic effect of the light from the lamp reflecting off of the screen. Don’t make it any brighter though.
Personally, I wouldn’t want a light of any kind in my field of vision when watching TV, playing games or watching a movie but this lamp doesn’t seem to be that much of a distraction.
I don’t think it’s too much. You can probably leave it at that though.
Great job! It really builds upon the excellent work that @soqueroeu has done in a very tasteful manner.

Do you have an idea how i can do this? I have no experience in doing things like this.

Ha ha!
You and me both…
I think you might have to enlist the services of @Duimon, @hgoda90, @TheNamec, @Orionsangel, soqueroeu or the great shader creator himself, @HyperspaceMadness.
I’m sure they might be willing to assist. Feel free to play around with the parameters and see how they react though.

Honestly, the lamp is placed behind the TV so would have no effect on the screen. If you wanted a ceiling lamp reflection or something, it would be done with a “tube static reflection image”
TubeStaticReflectionImage = “path to your image” at the end of a preset.

Wow! These are awesome! Are you going to share these with the public?
By the way, have you seen these preset that I made that you can use with @soqueroeu TV-Backgrounds?
Here is a variation by @Tromzy

Yes i will do this when i am finished.

Yes i have already downloaded your pack. But i have to figure out how to use these with my overlay graphic.

You don’t really have to figure out anything with these settings posted here. Just copy and paste into a new preset file, then change the filename in the first line to any one of @soqueroeu’s TV Background Presets you made and they should work.
They were made for specifically @soqueroeu’s TV Backgrounds.
Is this an universal script for all resolutions or do i have to change some seetings for my 1440p screen?

They were designed and tested at 4K Resolution and use custom scale and curvature settings based on that resolution and minimizing moire. I also have some modifications for 900p in my thread.
All you should need to do to make them more universal would be to set the CRT Mask Size to 0 (Auto), set Integer Scale Mode to 0 and you can probably leave out all my custom curvature and bezel settings at the bottom if you want.
Here are the modifications I tested to get them to look okay at 900p.
For 1440p it’s just a few things you might need to modify, basically the same settings that I changed for 900p just different values.
It shouldn’t take me long to try and create a 1440p version but I’m sure you can as well.
While you were replying, I was still replying with the solution. See my post above. Set the CRT Mask Size to 0, Int. Scale Mode to 0, then adjust the Non-Integer Scale until the screen fits the way you want it to.
You might also want to toggle the mask layout depending on your screen and you can also experiment with mask 5, 7 or 8.
If you leave out my custom curvature and bezel settings at the bottom of the preset everything should fit automatically using @soqueroeu’s curvature and bezel settings.

These settings retain Integer Scale mode but when I changed Int. Scale Mode to 0, the screen also fit well so I didn’t have to fiddle with the Non-Integer Scale %. For me, I prefer to use Integer Scale when possible.
Note I updated the path to Mega_Bezel_Packs instead of the old Mega_Bezel_Community and Mega_Bezel_Community_Collections.
I’m also going to update it in my preset post in this thread.

Note: These presets should look and work well with my custom Blargg NTSC Filter presets or the ones included in some emulator cores.
You can use these to get nice colour blending and transparency effects (de-dithering). Especially useful since the base preset used in @soqueroeu-TV Backgrounds don’t include MDAPT or SGENPT-MIX.

You might have to adjust the Crop % Settings and you can crop the left and right sides independently.

Hello!
How can I make it that the video quality is more fuzzy, low quality composite/RF like? Unfortunately, the NTSC parameter is missing like in the picture that I have attached. Is there any other way I can do it? Thanks in advance for any help!
Greetings, Gekko

Go back to Quick Menu–>Options–>Video–>Set Blargg NTSC Filter to Composite Video or S-Video.
