Disclaimer: That extra jittery RF footage comes activated like that by design after enabling the RF settings within the shader, TH-cam compression may also play a role in making it look even MORE jumpy when in motion especially on dithered areas, the composite footage doesn't look as jittery.
Man what a good day this is turning out to be, first guest.r posted up a new shader update and now this amazing video. RetroCrisis you did it again my man, that was killer how you showed that zoom in with the 4 different video boxes showing off the crt masks in perfect clarity. Also loved that nod to Mega Man X4 Sega Saturn footage showcasing exactly what those s-video presets are for, it's pretty much my description page about it in motion. I hope you all enjoy this latest update, this was all made and put together by retro gamers for retro gamers.
I very much enjoyed testing these out! Always looking forward to your updates my man! I mostly focused in on Mega Drive, 32X and Saturn as they have great examples of dithering, to put your presets through their paces! Great work dude
Thank you both for all that you do!
@@bogusbogusbogusbogus You're welcome. Glad you're enjoying everything.
@@RetroCrisisNo problem my man and I'm glad you enjoyed putting this together. I'm a Sega fanboy for life so seeing all that Sega love put a smile on my face lol.
Like always, love the shaders you work on and showcase in your channel. Wanted to ask, are these shaders too demanding? I'm asking because I have a Powkiddy RGB30 on the way to me, and one thing on my list was to try some of these amazing shaders.
The screen on the RGB30 is 1:1 AR 720x720, so hopefully the 1080 versions work?
Love that part with ecco jumping between those shaders
🤣 thanks dude 🐬
This channel has definitely got me exploring the shaders within retroarch much more. I even downloaded these presets from sonkun like 2 days ago. they did a great job with these and you have done a great job in showcasing them. Retroarch has a UI problem but you do an invaluable job of showing what its capable of.
Thanks for watching dude - if there's anything you'd like a guide for, let me know and I'll do my best to help
Absolutely brilliant! I own a bunch of nice CRTs but I'll always be mesmerized by grade CRT shaders.
Check out my latest pack. I just updated them again today (01-05-2024).
I've been trying to find the right CRT filter for me and my setup, and I think I found a winner with this one.
I know it's a good day when a video poppes up from your channel
Hahaha you're too sweet
The editing in this video is on another level! Those four squares with different preset each one!
Yes that was the highlight of the video to me, that was killer!
Hahaha that was a last minute addition. I'm glad you think it looks ok :)
@@RetroCrisis And the dual screen with Ecco the Dolphin was great too! To be honest all of the comparisons were amazing!
@@RetroCrisisI loved it. Like someone else said in the comments no one else is doing it like you you're already setting bars and trends with your video editing techniques.
This looks amazing ❤
Videos coming thick, fast and extremely well edited 💪 and Sonkun wowza m8.. these look awesome ❤❤❤
Thank you man I had to come with a nice new update for you guys. I made it so that it's not so overly saturated like in all 3 of my last videos, switched up a LUT setting so that it displays more accurate ntsc colors, made RGB presets a bit smoother looking (last ones were too sharp looking) just to name a few.
Awesome video and channel!
Yet another great showcase @RetroCrisis Love the side by side comparisons, and the music! Only thing it needed was Chromeo singing to it! LOL
It's just so awesome... Thank you Sonkun!
You're welcome. I just released another new update today as well. You should head over to my thread and grab it.
If I ever do get a steam deck or PC, I will come back to these videos 😂 Your putting original pixels to shame!! 👏👏 Loving the different style edits with the 4 screen split 🔥
When that day arrives bro, I'll definitely help you out. RetroArch will also work on your apple laptop too btw. Here's a beginners guide if you want to start from scratch - th-cam.com/video/5F-Fo2f_4d0/w-d-xo.html - also here's a cool project for mac too, which is easier to use - th-cam.com/video/KMDNdEXvZ2w/w-d-xo.html
@@RetroCrisis thanks brother!! I forgot you can use this emulator on Mac! I’m gonna do this soon and see how it plays 👊
Nice one, Subscribed. Please keep'em comin...
spectacular
Emulation gives a game new life on modern systems.
But the right shader gives it soul.
Ooooh I like this!!!
This channel is best on TH-cam for retro fans. Please can you test Dino Crisis 2 with sunkun's crt presets 🙏💖
Good Bro 👍
Thanks for the visit
One would think a manufacturer would release a flat display with the equivalent amount of pixels as a CRT to be used exclusively and only for retro gaming only, they’d be making a killing on them. That’s why I still keep an old CRT and a 720p flat screen for retro, 720 looks very good given the amount of less density it has, and well CRT is just king.. just wishing it never dies Lol.
These are pretty good, but I think that the strobing and rainbow effects are exaggerated quite a bit compared to real hardware. Could also be the capture not representing it properly. I wish I had time to tinker with all these awesome shaders.
The capture is more or less 1:1 with how the shader looks in action. Give it a go when you get a chance
Definitely give them a spin. There's a lot going on in the composite/rf presets with all the artifacting and rainbows etc. so it was probably the effects doing that to the capture. It's definitely not as jittery in game.
@@sonkunhyperspinretroarch4867 My expectation is that TH-cam compression always introduces its own shenanigans.
@@nathanddrews Good ol TH-cam compression for you. I remember RetroCrisis showing me footage he was working on before even uploading and it wasn't extra jumpy like that so yeah I'm gonna blame TH-cam for that one. Besides that RF is a little more "jittery" by design. Once I activated the RF setting it makes everything on the screen with dithering look like an acid trip lol
I have to agree. They make it look more like a VHS tape than a Genesis on a CRT to me. The S-Video footage looks great though
Damn, that Sonic looks so good! Just like I remember: No visible pixelization in the curvature of his quills. Plus, his mouth and arms have lighter highlights, and a subtle but very vivid "vibration" (strobbing?) to the whole screen, like CRTs do.
Any chance this shader will be ported to Reshade?? These days that is becoming more and more important, as retro games are very abundant in Steam (like Sonic Mania)
Thank you for the compliment. For Sonic and all the other ntsc composite presets I tried to make sure sprites looked smooth but still sharp at the same time if that makes any sense. I didn't want a severly blurry picture yet it's still blurred enough to do all the proper dithering effects. And I do plan to bring these to Reshade one day, just gotta learn the program first.
@@sonkunhyperspinretroarch4867 The "smooth but sharp" look is how things looked in my 15inch Mitsubishi TV
The inherent compactness of the TV also made scanlines virtually invisible at a 2 meter distance, and the brilliance of the display made you naturally stay away far enough that you also didn't notice much of a shadowmask -- other than perhaps a pleasant barely noticeable "texture" of sorts in single-color backgrounds
In order to achieve that "sharp but smooth" look, I often combine sharpen, gaussian blur and (heavily tweaked) CRT Royale.
But your results vastly surpass my amateur-ish efforts in terms of reproducing the "CRT Magic". I hope you continue improving and releasing versions of your shaders
@@gorofujita5767 Man I appreciate your kind words and I'm glad you're enjoying the pack. I use to play Sega Saturn (I'm a Saturn fanboy for life) on a 27 inch aperture grille Toshiba tv in the 90's, I collected almost every Capcom import by the time Saturn discontinued then moved on to the Dreamcast. I remember always playing mostly at night with the lights off, the tv would always illuminate my room with bright vivid colors and I wanted to recreate that feeling so my aim was simply to make presets that were "bright, vivid and colorful" and this current pack is where I've come to so far.
@@sonkunhyperspinretroarch4867 Damn, I am also a SEGA enjoyer, with a bias in favor of the Saturn as one of the most **interesting** consoles ever made. The Saturn had so many unique games, that took advantage of its strong 2D capabilities. Heck, even its way of rendering 3D using quads would produce excellent results (I much prefer the rougher, darker look of TR1 on the Saturn compared to the PS1)
The usage of dithering was also abundant in the Saturn, as a less hardware intensive way to draw shadows and certain semi-transparent effects. Games like Sonic R or Robot Pit are abundant with that effect.
It is because of the Saturn (and possibly my trusted TV I had at the time) that I am very much interested in CRT shaders. For a long while I wasn't satisfied with the way CTR shaders focused on scanlines. My TV produced none of that non-sense. I mean, the scanlines were still there and visible.... if you pressed your entire face and eyeballs against the screen. Other than that, the. subjective effect was a very clear, pristine image, with lots of color pop, great motion resolution, and no pixelization whatsoever. Anti-aliasing before anti-aliasing was cool.
I've been pursuing ways of subjectively replicating this picture quality on my PC, constantly shifting between shaders (some CRT inspired, others more in line with ScaleFX -- because yes, what I _perceived_ in real TVs was a sharp well defined picture quality)
And I'm happy to report your shaders are some of the best I've seen thus far, and are an essential part of my journey into recreating the CRT experience without a CRT.
@@gorofujita5767Yeah the Saturn was such a underrated powerhouse along with my beloved Dreamcast.
I think the thing with some shaders and some people that use them is that they're trying to achieve that BVM look. I've never gamed on such a display and would never want to, those extra thick scanlines turn me off and I didn't grow up playing that way.
I'm happy that my presets are helping you along the way, I'm also interested in seeing what you are/were working on with your crt shader tweaking. Maybe sometime you can post up some of your work in the Libretro forum, the more crt shader variations to choose from the better I always say.
5:22 Holy cow I mean these games were designed to run on everyone's cheap old CRT telly but this is mind blowing actually. To think that the colours in the image on the right may have been exactly how it was supposed to look - and then modern digtal screens came along and the effect was totally lost.
It's a cool effect indeed. I've noticed some people don't like that effect as well so I've put out another update after this video was put up that includes another plain standard composite preset that doesn't have that rainbow effect at all.
Hey Retro Crisis, I just got a Steam Deck last week and in a weird coincidence of you uploading this video I'm literally in the process of setting up RetroArch with shaders. If you could only pick one CRT Shader plugin for fifth generation consoles and backwards, what would you suggest?
By the way, I appreciate the side-by-side comparisons here. No one else is doing this. Agree with others, the strobing effect in this one seems a little over-exaggerated by my memory.
That's a tough question dude - because most systems have different types of video outputs, there isn't really one shader preset that would serve them all. I think. I'd say between Sonkun, Mega Bezel and CyberLab you'll have all your bases covered. Check this playlist out th-cam.com/play/PL3amG1g3KoFsVGTmOB7jD4T5sJ2UOeF3A.html it's full of some cool shaders
Using a 1080p Plasma TV but with Nvidia DSR 4k downscaling Desktop resolution, should i pick the 1080p or the 4k preset? =D
Given these are labeled 1080, 1440p, 4K, etc. Which one is preferable for using on steamdeck with its 800p screen?
Probably 1080p since it's the closest to it's resolution. Wouldn't be able to resolve the extra detail in the 1440p and 4K versions
as a tip for the guest shader remove the guest folder the crt/shaders because i can break i had that happen
Sorry for crashing this video, were you able to check the shaders you uploaded? are they correct or am I the only having the issue? I can send you a sample somwehere if you want :) Cheers
Edit: Oh in this video when you compare Streets of Rage Composite that sort of tremor, shimmering is what I get with yours
Edit 2: Was able to fix the issue, has it happens I needed the lates Shaders (CRT Folder) that fixed the issue
What's the issue?
@@sonkunhyperspinretroarch4867 Oh Hi sonkun no the issue is not with your shaders it was with a Megadrive Shader from Retro Crisis
Glad you managed to get the issue sorted
i really like composite without rainbow. s-video pixels are too defined for transparency.
Do you know if these slang shaders are compatible with RetroArch running on the Nintendo Switch?
They should. Give them a spin and see
@@sonkunhyperspinretroarch4867 I think only glslp files are valid. That’s not vulkan I think (where yours are)?
Hi Crisis! I' love your videos, the filters are great, more and more precise. Sorry, my English is bad, a little Google Translate and knowledge from the University. I' always watch your videos. Keep it up! I' greet you from Buenos Aires Argentina! Successes! 😉
Btw theres new update that changes a lot the rf presets and looks way better
Yeah I revamped some things especially the "rainbow" presets. I agree things look a bit better, maybe soon Retro will do a updated video showcasing the changes.
bro mine freezes if i choose any of ntsc, i can only use the hd.
Composite looking clearly superior, what does everyone else think?
Composite is my favourite in this pack
Composite or S-Video, both look awesome, but will have to try them on my PC to be able to decide 😊
Composite with Shadow Mask is my personal favorite for the older systems like NES, Master System, Atari and even for the 16 bit systems as well.
My eyes get tired quickly because of those overloaded CRT shaders 😭 Jus like on real crt tv :o Still looking for light option for myself...
Running into an error on my end with the following line after turning on the logs:
[ERROR] [Vulkan]: Failed to compile shader: "/RetroArch/shaders/shaders_slang/crt/shaders/crt-resswitch-glitch-koko.slang"
LMDE6 tested on both flatpak and steam installations with updated shaderers from online updated.
I'll continue investigating in the meantime but if anyone has the solution please provide. Seems like a simple fix by just adding that missing slang.
Have you switched the video driver to Vulkan?
@@RetroCrisis yes, if on a different graphics API it would've crashed and logged it in since I've set the verbosity to debug. I've reached out to the dev directly on the libreto forum and will update asap with solution!
I look forward to hearing the solution!
for some reason i cant get any of the community shaders to work in my retroarch? its werid
Do you have any details you can share?
@@RetroCrisis yea I have a few by zombie bezel orianangels and when I put them in shaders bezel mega bezel none of those I name work just says failed to apply I also tried to use your retro crisis shader combine with mega bezel it couldn’t work but by it self it worked amazing also amazing shader btw
Followed instructions to the letter, but I can't run a single one, just get "Failed to apply shader preset: *name of preset*". T.T
That error message occurs when the presets are in the wrong location. Might be worth double checking
@@RetroCrisis Thanks for the quick response and trying to help, I actually did what you suggested before making my post (I mean no one wants to look like a complete dunce lol), I did fix the issue by following Sonkun's instructions, which gets you to actually delete the "guest" folder found in the "shaders_slang/crt/shaders" location and only after that, throw in the new files. I can only assume there were conflicting files still in there after writing over the old ones. Anyhoo, all's workin' and well again. Lastly, I just wanna thank you for making this video and others like it, bringing attention to just how much CRT shaders can enhance the retro gaming experience is a great thing in my books. ^^
Can someone please make a curvature shader for my 800x480 powkiddy a12 that makes it look like an old worn out monitor with diffuse reflections?
I imagine on a 480 pixel screen it might look a little distorted. Have you tried Sonkun's preset on your Powkiddy? How does it look?
@@RetroCrisis I put sonkun like in the video and looked for the retro arch menu like in the video, but the presets were not displayed.
Which video driver is your Retroarch using?
@@RetroCrisis powkiddy a12 can only choose gl and sdl…
@@brelfpv1437 I think you need either Vulkan or GLcore to be able to handle these shader presets
With this preset all is pratically black for me....
Are you on Linux by chance?
You gotta put the Contrast back to 0.0 within the shader parameters if you're on Linux.
IT BURNS MY PLS MONITOR
NOW PIXELS ARE BURNED, NO JOKE, MY SCREEN FUCKED UP
IM REALLY REALLY NOT JOKING, I WAS PLAYING BLASTER MASTER, PAUSE MENU FOR A TIME AND IT BURNED PIXEL OF MY ALL SCREEN, WHAT IM GONNA DO
Guys, false alarm, I've noticed that LCD/LED monitors with conventional screen can burn if you use CRT shaders too much time and it can be fixed only searching fixes googling it
Anyway, this may be the best CRT shaders for 1080p screens
Download a new screen.
