Comment on You're Emulating Retro Games Wrong (you need CRT Shaders)
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 day agoI only know of filters in emulators I’ve used for nes, super nes, Genesis, gb advance, dolphan, duckstation, and whatever other emulators over the years.
None of them have had a crt shader that’s good.

I’m currently toying around with ares (the only fully cycle-accurate SNES emulator) and it has a lovely selection of CRT shaders (that are also available for other emulators). Try out crt-maximus-royale (or the half-res-mode variant). At least to me, the latter looks perfect, with just the right amount of blur, distortion, bloom and scanlines - and it comes with lovely details, like the bezel reflecting the image in real time and speaker grills filling the rest of the screen.
Someone uploaded a gallery with various games to reddit that shows just how versatile this shader is:

Will do, thank you for the suggestion!

Happy to help. If you don’t like this shader, but end up preferring a different one, I’d love to hear about it.
