The official way is a Trinitron TV

I just usually throw on the 'goat' shader in Mednafen

>>4008969
>official and /vr/-approved out there

Why do so many people actively try to be sheep? Is this what has happened to today's youth? It's surreal and very sad.

>>4008969
Geom is the most accurate I've seen so far if you're 100% relying on the shader. You can achieve a little natural bloom on plasma.

Analog Shader Pack v3 for Retroarch

>>4009573
No matter if they're old or young or from what era, there have always been sheep. Don't let nostalgia cloud your judgement.

>>4008969
Just play them however you damn like. Nobody is going to send you to jail if you're running those games "the wrong way".

Shadow mask tv's are better.

Anyone else here take HDMI signals and downscale it to composite 480i solely to use it in a crt?
If so how do you feel knowing a pstv doesn't have much visual difference when passed through it?

>>4009054

i usually play on a crt, but if this is a shader it looks fucking good

what is it?

>>4009054
This is pretty neat to be honest. Good thing 4K monitors will be commonplace in the distant future when CRTs have finally died out.

Don't use a shader at all. There aren't any benefits.

>>4008969

Are you retarded? Not by a far shot.
Aperture grille grille CRTs are far nicer, they where used in the professional market and all VGA monitors that came with graphics/video workstations where aperture grille.

You probably never seen a good aperture grille TV.

That TV would almost certainly have been B&W though.

>>4014825
Not that guy, but Shadow Mask is better, the pixels blends much better so there is less aliasing.

>>4014825
Also VGA monitors are a meme for videogames. Some consoles even need a composite/RF signal so they can output transparency. Stop talking shit. The graphics needs the output artifacts to look good.

ESL anon still at it, I see.

>>4014031
Do you use a flat CRT or something?
Don't.

>>4014825
I love shadow mask. But it's what I grew up with. I don't care to play games how they appeared back in the day in some sort of professional setting. I want the 8 yr old me verson.

Is there a way to make these filters do the strange noise from the magnet degaussing the aperture mask/grille when starting the game, have it stay black for a second, and then have the picture start out blurry after which it quickly becomes sharper?

Not kidding, I'd like that. "Authentic" hardware emulation should not just extend to the consoles, but the peripheral devices as well. You'd also prefer to play using an original controller with an adapter over resorting to some Chinese 5$ USB replica trash, right?

>>4019426
Does that make your peepee hard, anon?

It's obviously RF-only and would probably suit 2nd gen gaming better.

>mfw imagining an Atari 2600 hooked up to it

>>4019514
sorry but what means rf only?

>>4019506
12 minutes of high pitched squealing before an 80s home computer game loads.

>>4019517
Aerial input

>>4019517
The TV only accepts RF input, not composite, s-video, etc. RF is the worst-looking video signal, but a lot of the oldest consoles only use RF, so that's okay.

It's an OK tv. Very good for very old consoles, and decent but not great for other systems.

>>4019530
ah thanks. Yes you are right. I thought the SNES had such an adapter.

>>4019523
Let's stay in console territory please.

Good thing there is like 50 fucking settings from trashy 70s TV look to a HQ flat screen.

I don't want to wait for the tape to load when emulating a console, though. That's not authentic.

Look up 199X, it's my default shader these days. Absolutely nails the look of a regular tv, including the Sonic waterfall test (where the individual pixels meld together to form a transparicy effect).

>>4019580
Such an option wouldn't apply to solid-state consoles dumbass.

How about a canister which emits the smell of cheetos and stale urine? Sound like your childhood to me and most likely your adolescence too...

>>4019662
Joke's on you, I'm Europoor, a place where we don't have cheetos but do have sanitation.

>>4020554
199X depends on Analog Shader Pack 3, so you first have to get that working. When you do you have to open the 199X cgp file and change the paths for every shader to match your Analog 3 folder. My file looks like this: https://pastebin.com/KuJRJv45

If you're still having problems look up the libretro forums

>>4008969
>/vr/-approved CRT look when it comes to shaders? I

CRT fags are autists who will never agree on anything. Do whatever the fuck you want.

>>4019514
PSX uses RF cables too.

>>4021016
It works now! So many options, I don't even know what to choose. Thanks!

I can't get that Analog Shader Pack 3 to work, apparently I need an Nvidia card. Is that really the only way or am I doing something wrong? Picking any of the cgp files in retroarch does absolutely nothing.

>>4021758
Awesome! The pack is full of options and can be overwhelming if you try everything at once, find one you like and stick to it for a while.

>>4021852
Have you tried a glsl shader? It's a different file type, maybe that'll work. Also, the files that end in p are presets which point at different individual shaders. Try loading a single shader, a .cg file (not cgp) and see if it works.

As a last resort you could try slang shaders, which only work for the vulkan renderer.

>>4021183
I can't even begin to picture the hipster trash who would choose to play 5th gen on a set like that.

>>4016095
I like it, gimme the name

>>4016103

>>4024593
That one only has a brightness control though.

It's B/W.

>>4016841
>he fell for the flat CRT warping meme

I'd say only 15% of flat CRTs barely had this problem

>>4009054
That's amazing, but I have the feeling it's too high quality to be a real-time shader

>>4019343
>>4019603
just as developers intended it

>>4019603
I feel like I could rub my cheek on it and feel the warmth, dust and static.

Apparently you missed the part where the last 2 screens use a completely different shader that only adds scanlines and doesn't blurry the picture at all. Might want to pay more attention next time
