For windows is there anything that I can turn on that will just put a CRT effect over EVERYTHING without having to configure it for each thing. I emulate a lot of retro games and play a lot of steam games, and just want something to toggle on for specific games when I feel like it. I have tried to google search this a few times and it's too specific. Like I know you can "use retroarch" for things, but I don't have the slightest idea if it can do what I'm asking and how.
>>11045153Just learn how to use RetroArch and download sonkun's crt presets.
shaderglassdont embarrass me for helping you
>>11045164how would I embarrass you
>>11045168by using retroarch
>>11045175I'm still stuck in 2000's for emulation yes this is what i wanted thank you.
>>11045164Not OP but I’ll definitely be using this too. Thanks anon.
>>11045198it's pretty sick 4chan actually delivered
>>11045164yeah bro thanks again i'm using it and it's great. exactly what i wanted. i'm probably going to be using this for the next 10+ years
>>11045198>Week of GarfieldBased
>>11045153i use it exclusively
>>11045164nta but i tried that for this purpose and don't know a way (if it's even possible) to have the shader itself render at the monitor's native resolution instead of the game's. i like playing older pc games at period-appropriate resolutions so don't just tell me to change the game resolution
>>11047056>i like playing older pc games at period-appropriate resolutionsJust don't use CRT shaders with PC games. Games for CRT monitors don't need shaders anyway.
>>11047501What? The ones running in 320x200 certainly do.
>>11047518maybe if you want to emulate a cga or ega monitor. But with vga, 320x200 was line-doubled to 640x400.
>240p contentBasic crt shader, light scanlines, no mask. A bit of color correction.>480i and aboveJust a sharp-bilinear to avoid using integer scaling.
>>11045153Tails is so cute!
>>11048051he kind of reminds me of that stupid younger brother with overly christian right wing parents who think he's going down a dark path for liking minecraft
>>11048104Have you seen the kind of shit they post on youtube kids related to minecraft? Makes a satanic orgy look normal, and sometimes it even shows up on the main page
>>11048106>have you seen minecraft youtubersonly turbo nerd stuff like speedrunning and challenge running
>>11048106>Have you seen the kind of shit they post on youtube kidsNo. Why have you?
>>11048163>chantard can't grasp the concept of a guy having kids or having friends who have kids who play youtube videos on their tablet or whatever near them lmao dude wake up
>>11047543holy shit! that explains itI've been wondering about this for 20 years, but I don't have a crt monitor to test itI remembered pixels in dos games being very obvious, unlike the pixels in console games at the timeI don't even remember there being scanlines at all, just solid blocks of squaresI thought maybe it was because it was a better connection. obviously vga was better than the rf signal, but even later consoles with better cables never got near the sharpness of a computer monitoror maybe my memory was wrongbut that makes so much more senseI guess I don't need a crt filter for old dos games, after allthanks, anon
>>11047543and a average 14 inch VGA CRT monitor from that period didn't look anything like a 21+ inch LCD today displaying said line doubled 320x200
>>11049560I had a CRT monitor a while back and the shadow mask is just really fine, smaller than the resolution it was designed for. it was meant to read text on it, after all.
>>11045153Sounds to me like reshade is your best bethttps://github.com/akgunter/crt-royale-reshade
>>11049563It looks close enough that fiddling with a shader to replicate line doubling is way past the point of diminishing returns.
>>11048168You're in a CRT shader thread on /vr/ complaining about minecraft and "satanic orgies"(??). You don't have kids OR friends.
>>11048104That's because Tails is PURE!!

>>11049971Not op, I tried it some time ago and it's more complicated compared to shaderglass. Nonetheless is a worthy solution and you can add any shader you want, cotrary to shaderglass where you can use only the ones embedded in the code.
>>11045164>dont embarrass me for helping you"It's n-not like I *wanted* to help y-you... BAKA OP!"
>>11045160You weren't kidding, I feel like this changes everything. There was always something missing in retro games for me, now I get it. Doesn't look great in this screenshot, but this CRT effect really brings the graphics together. No more highlighting each and every pixel or jagged edge.
>>11045160Tried this out and did a comparison.actual hardware/sonkun shader/no shader.
>>11053620>no shaderit looks like fucking shit hahahah
>>11053620I used composite cables and the standard composite shader. It's not perfect but it's pretty close.
>>11049560You’ll definitely need a shader for older DOS games, it’s the later ones where you might not need it. Lots of EGA games made extensive use of dithering and we’re designed around CRTs blending the pixels. I saw an inferview where Mark Ferrari explains it in detail.
>>11045168By using MiSTer FPGA.
>>11055360r e n t f r e e
>>11045153Here you go.https://github.com/mausimus/ShaderGlass?tab=readme-ov-file
>>11045153just get a ruler and a sharpie and draw lines on your screen
fuck that shit. interpolation and gamma dorrection is all you need
Nobody has actually told you a real answer, The thing you are looking for is a program called reshade. Its a shader program that can run on any game and there are good CRT effects for it.
>>11055514Which shader can do gamma correction?
>>11045160Looks saturated and blurry
>>11056020>just like sonkun intended
>>11045153Make your own Preset on reshade and call it a day, Guest's package became the Go 2 these days since Configuring the new included royale is a pain in the dick.But i suggest ditching the CRT look and embrace Hi Res using CRT Shaders as base to get rid of the fullbright and dithering caused by modern screens.
>>11047501>>11047518>>11047543>>11049560Stop being a bunch of faggotronic pixel morons and use a shader that Emulates proper Shadowmask pefectly, i had 3 SVGA Screens and all DOS and 3d in it were smooth and Sharp.DOS GAMES USES CRT, but they all use Shadowmask since it was the standard at that time.As for 3dfx games, is >pic
>>11057002Is that Schleichfahrt?
It just werks
>>11057025Archimedian Dynasty aka the prequel of the aquanox game series.GoG includes the 3dfx release but the dosbox they use is ass
>>11057058>Archimedian DynastyThat is Schleichfahrt
>>11057076Forgot that it is the german name, still a neat game anda very underrated one, unironically the first Aqua music CD had a interactive menu based on this game.
>>11057002>shader that Emulates proper Shadowmask pefectlyHave any recommendation?
>>11055452came here to post the same thing
