Trying to find this specific crt shader some anon made for me last year but he uploaded it to litter catbox so it’s dead but I wanna find a shader similar to it

Crt 1 tap and crt easymode are all you need
guest advanced composite ntsc, ntsc phase set to 4/mixed ends up looking like this, any idea why/how fix?

What's the general consensus on the CRT shader for the Nintendo Switch Online retro games? I tried them out the other day and I thought they looked better than most of the ones that come with modern rereleases of retro games.
holy fuck these all look like shit

Why doesn't someone just make high quality recordings of an actual CRT displaying solid colours at different brightnesses on all channels and compose a shader out of that?

Anything under 4k will look worse than it already is. Not saying it looks good anyway.

Since you're using 1440p, try setting 'Triad Size Desired' to 4.00 if you want the TVL to resemble the example pics.

it seems that i cannot find a shader that mimics the faded look of a composite signal on a crt tv seen here, or maybe i'm just not tweaking it enough to make it look like one.

Ntsc-adaptive in conjunction with your preferred CRT shader, and then play with the chroma/saturation settings. If you want to mimic the look of a picture of a CRT instead of a CRT, that's a bit more complicated.

The screenshots should make it obvious, compare the before and after, the individual phosphors (which compose the mask pattern) are bigger, resulting in a more textured and coarse picture.
Shaders' TVL should be adjusted according to your monitor resolution. The same setting will produce different in different resolutions.
>>12124568
Also, if you want to resemble this picture even further, set mask type to 1.00 (slot mask pattern), and keep the triad size as 4.00. See how it compares. Also setting sample mode to 1.00 will produce different texture/brightness levels which might be more to your taste. Play around with the settings.

Giving a second look to this, you could also prepend ntsc-adaptive to it to get that fringing effect that's visible on the pics, but that adds another can of worms in terms of complexity.

Ah yes, royale's sample mode doesn't play well when combined with other shaders so it's best to leave it at 0 if that's your intention (I think older royale versions didn't have this problem but hey)

I adjusted it specifically for 1440p and to resemble the CRT pics you've been posting so that should be fine, but as usual, don't be afraid to play with the parameters if you desire. GA is more complex than Royale but at the same time its parameters are more self-explanatory.

See the differences for yourself

top right is the same with a dither shader mixed in (sgenptmix-multipass
bottom left is with ntsc-adaptive instead, stock settings
bottom right is the same but the rainbow setting is cranked up to max

I suppose? just use whatever settings you like most. I don't really care that much about blending compared to other anons, I prefer my shaders to be on the sharper side, only relying on blending shaders for games that make extensive use of dithering all throughout the game (meaning not Sonic and its waterfalls you see for one second).

Would be neat if the touch controls were also affected by the shader just like the devs intended
none of these look accurate at all.
just use bilinear and render at a low resolution, you'll never mimic a crt with a shader.

In this specific case, you prepend it, otherwise the blending won't work.
>is the megadrive the only console to really require this?
Nothing *requires* it, it's a matter of preference and how much it bothers you to see dithered patterns. You apply it on a game by game basis if you want to, and you can deactivate it on settings too, or modulate how much blending you want. It can be nice for those few dithering heavy games, but it can also create false positives, so sometimes it's best to simply use a good old NTSC shader. Also, there are two versions of sgenptmix (normal and multipass), and while multipass has more settings and finer tuning, sometimes the normal version gets better results.

Or maybe CRT shaders just look like shit and people enjoy making fun of you for posting these fuck-ugly screenshots as though they're anything worthwhile.
We're signaling that your tastes are incompatible with reality, but you just throw a shitfit, make excuses and diminish your criticisms by asserting they all come from one maladjusted individual, and recede deeper into your internet hugbox where even your own self-awareness can't reach you. You're basically engaging in tranny-tier behavior. Only worse, because even a tranny can get fucked by someone desperate enough. But nobody will ever be desperate enough to think that CRT shaders are acceptable.

>>12132812
It depends on what you want. 3.00 if you want to resemble the example screenshots, it's also a nice middle ground between low and high TVL at that screen resolution.
This is a guide for 1080p:
>1.00 = 1000 TVL, BVM-like
>2.00 = 700-850 ish TVL, average modern PVM
>3.00 = 450-600 sorta TVL, good middle ground, think a nice consumer set or some older PVMs, and it would match the screenshots so this is the one you want if you're trying to have the same settings as that preset
>4.00 = 300 and lower, your average cheap as shit consumer set you grew up with -- but in Royale's case, opt for mask type 0 (aperture grille); if it's set to 1.00 (slot mask) at that triad size, it will look funky and uneven for 1080p, although enabling sample mode alleviates a bit this problem. Guest Advanced doesn't have this issue, but it's a lot more complicated to tweak if you don't know what you're doing.
tl;dr: whatever looks best for you

Word of caution: the shader is set to display at integer scaling because otherwise the mask can look uneven in certain spots. But you can deactivate that yourself by going to [SCREEN OPTIONS] and setting the Integer Scaling option to 0.00

Oh fuck off.
This is the problem with people trying to approach old tech from a modern viewpoint; since modern tech is more standardized, you guys think that the first CRT your eyes laid sight on is representative of all CRTs, and then proceed to ignore all the many factors that influenced picture quality back then.
Stop talking in terms of "actual CRTs are", it wasn't homogenized tech, don't be daft.

He's just uninformed. Both SwanStation and Mednafen PSX/Beetle are better than DuckStation, and LRPS2 is now better than PCSX2 and has paraLLEl-GS, which performs great and eliminates all rendering bugs similar to software mode and is ideal for CRT shaders at native res.

Its true, im a milenial 29 almost 30 i did olay with crts, new picie makes me remind of crts but crt royale is the must and i only put new pixie for newbies so they csn really see the difference of using shaders, about the consoles retroarch is good for consoles till ps1 and n64 i think ps2 and gamecube have better and more user friendly configurations in other emulators, i do use shaders for every console except ps3 up

What's the point of this? might as well play raw. It's not even the DOS version so your shader doesn't make sense for this case.

it looks pretty close to a glass hit with sunlight but the thing is, if you were playing on CRT you'd close the blinds. It's not a desirable part of the look IMO

Yep, plus it has way more customizable glow options than royale, and even has afterglow options that I haven't seen in any other shader not based on GA.
Royale was nice in pre-covid times but GA is king now. Royale has barely expanded/improved since then, other than its creator releasing a fast version for low-tier PCs not long ago.

You have finer tuning options, different glow profiles that can affect the entire picture or just the bright parts, separate glow/bloom/halation controls, you can go crazy with them
>what is afterglow ?
An emulation of CRT phosphor persistence found in some CRTs, like bright pixels leaving a trail, similar to ghosting but not quite. It's not a feature I care much for, but it's just another option you have control over.

Honestly it'd be sweet if there was a proper CRT filter that basically just looked like this. I don't need scanlines.

What if I tell you that picture has scanlines?
All you need is a preset that simulates low tv line count to provide the "illusion" of not having scanlines.
>>12126892

Try this one
>>12138324 to get the SoR look (minus overlay). For the Soul Calibur one, try

>>12150218
Did you resize the image to half? because look at all those uneven lines. Supposing you're not trolling.

I customized rjtwg0.slangp to something I thought I might like, but there are still things that bug me about it. Maybe I'm just being too OCD about it, that sometimes makes me want to stop using CRT shaders as a whole.

That one is an NTSC composite shader anyway, not the most accurate thing for arcade games.
Get a CRT.
Crt shaders is the television equivalent to transsexualism.
you can dress your HDTV/monitor however you like, you can call it whatever you like, you can pretend it's just like a real CRT, you can have your little communities where you affirm each other and exchange pleasantries, but it's still not a CRT, it'll never be like a CRT and it's just plain ugly to everyone outside your fantasy bubble.
