Filters and shaders!

[Dodgykebaab]

I use one in Retroarch called CRT-Consumer. You can find a version in the Glslp group and in the Slang group.

I find the slang version looks like how I remember my consoles actually looking when I finally upgraded to SCART leads to everything in 1996.

The quality of the shader also depends on the size of your screen and the distance you are playing. I use CRTnewPixie on everything up to 32/64bits and it's absolute perfection to play on the couch in a 42" screen at 2 or 3 meters away, most imperfections disappear at that distance.

I may be weird but I wish I could apply something like this to my whole damn system. At that point I think it's better to just get a crt monitor

ShaderGlass exists to add shaders to anything on Windows. I've been wanting a Linux version of something similar, but haven't found anything yet

Unfortunately, it seems that windows identifies it as something akin to the sniping tool, so it has those weird yellow outlines around the screen.

This can be disabled in Windows 11, but I am using 10 so sux for me I guess.

i dont even know where to start this is such a fucking rabbit hole
if you haven't found something you like by now DM me and I can hook you up with my retroarch shader profiles

I use Geom but disable the warping and lower the corner radius.

how do u do that?

 

[Mopeybloke]

I like CRT-rorale. A fan favourite. It on RetroArch, Duckstation, Ares, and Reshade so you can get it on anything.

 

[JellyjamLu]

I was experimenting with Duckstation just now and it's got built-in crt shades. I really liked them in the games I tried.

Oh? well if that is so, gonna check these out. I don't tinker too much with the menus that much, nice to know.

tv out plus interlaced on presets on retroarch with interger scaling

If you do, would you mind sharing what settings you mess around with, and perhaps even share screenshots of what said settings produce?

Here you go

You can configure it to look better than this (or apply even more shaders if you wish), my settings are just too subtle.

I'm gonna update here actually, done 2 so far on Duckstation:

and my fav so far below subtle but nice, with CRT scanlines: (best to enlarge image to see)

Gonna experiment with some more, there's quite a few here to try.


EDIT: Back for one more extra CRT Filter, now this looks nice and old school. Added: 'HYLLIAN' They stack, Cool beans!.

I hope this helps out, even for just one person out there, Cheers!

Considering this is much better than my configuration, I think this is the inspiration I needed.

Glad it was of some help, it's the basics but ultimately its thanks to you, you gave me the motivation to mess around, glad i did. first time getting these to work, easier than I thought. Enjoy.

Get Reshade and apply crt-frutbunn and scanlines-abs together. I think it looks great

The stock NES/SNES Classic mini-console filters are actually surprisingly good too.

And in mgba, if on PC, use TV filter with line brightness set to 0.6. And if on a phone via Retroarch, use the pre-set GritsScanlines that comes with Retroarch. These settings look good.

 

[JellyjamLu]

Can someone please post the best, recommended CRT filters for Duckstation, i'm too lazy to go back on the thread, if someone doesn't mind doing a refresher. lol

Add Reshade and use crt-frutbunn and scanlines-abs together. Just disable the scanline setting in crt-frutbunn and use the scanline-abs for the scanlines.

Thankyou so much, your the real one for this. cheers!
Edit: Gonna set this right now.

i remember when i do scanlines, i try 1 below line visibility, since i don't like when lighter lines are between darker lines
