>>563591245
You'll need something with composite/S-video in it to blend the dithering.
Try the guest-avanced-NTSC/ The Retro Crisis one or the Sonkun ones. Then, it's a matter of how much "I can't see shit" you can handle.

>>563596542
>guest-avanced-NTSC/ The Retro Crisis one or the Sonkun ones
Good choice for the fully 240p systems (NES/SNES etc), but don't bother for the "High-Res/PSX 480i" content if you're on a 1080p SDR display.

The wiki warns against them for a reason: 1080p doesn't have enough vertical resolution to properly render TVL/scanlines and masks simultaneously without massive moiré patterns or crushing the brightness. On an SDR panel without local dimming, you can't compensate for the brightness lost from the mask and TVL/scanline simulation.

https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Shaders,_presets_and_filters#Display_Hardware_Requirements

>>563596889
The more I look at it, the more I thing all that shader craze is just a psy-ops to make us buy overpriced monitor.

Also, Sonkun worked like a charm for the Saturn, blending that stupid checkboard patern, smoothing the jaggies a little without darkening, bluring the shit out of the image. Something the precious SDTV preset was not even able to do.

As for PSX, I have still some testing to do.

after testing retroarch for the last couple of days i think i prefer standalone emulators

>>563598828
>all that shader craze is just a psy-ops to make us buy overpriced monitor
it’s sub-pixel math. You’re trying to fit a 400-TVL phosphor mask into 1080 horizontal lines. You literally do not have enough physical pixels to "draw" the mask and the image signal at the same time without massive moiré patterns or uneven scaling. It looks like dogshit because your hardware is the bottleneck, not because the wiki is a scam.

The other killer is SDR. Any decent mask or scanline shader works by "turning off" or darkening roughly 50-70% of your screen to simulate the gaps. Your 1080p office monitor maxes out at maybe 300 nits. Cut that to 50 nits (globally) and you’re looking at a dim, muddy mess that looks nothing like a real tube.

You need 4K+ for the density to align the mask properly (for 480 content), and you need HDR/OLED with proper dimming for the brightness headroom to lose 70% of your light and still have a punchy image.

The choices are simple:
Cope: Keep using raw pixels on your 1080p panel and pretend it looks "accurate enough".
Scavenge: Find a $20 SDTV on Marketplace that handles 240p/480 natively. Just avoid "HD CRTs" and VGA monitors if you want the actual consumer look.
Pay up: Buy a high-end display if you want the shader math to actually work. I don't recommend it though, fuck hyperconsumerism.

Another day another rpcs3 regression.

To the anon on the last thread that posted that pixeldrain on a screenshoot for a new PGS stand-alone build... You are a retarded nigger, you compiled a debug build not a release build so it can work if you don't have VSstudio installed because of some missing DLL, recompile it again properly.

or maybe use that SDTV preset for 480 content. I guess it doesn't try to simulate TVL, scanlines, or masks; it focuses on cable and signal aspects (w/ NTSC filters and shiet), interlaced flicker, gamma, and level remapping, along with some bezel and overlay effects etc etc.

This is your only option if you don't have a capable display but still want to simulate the characteristics of a 480p system.

I don't care. I'm not afraid of Pixels compared to many here. I just don't like very specific dithering pattern that I find far more ugly that some jaggies. Perfect exemple of that would be the walls of the manor in Clock Tower or everytime the Saturn try to do a transparency effect. So I'm only interested in a shader that can allow that kind of blending.

Also, CRT shaders are useful only for 2D, for everything 3D upscaling/uprezing is always the superior choice.

>>563602654

Your SDTV preset fail to blend the checkboard pattern on saturn game and bleach everything on screen. Thus, it's useless.

>>563603296
>for everything 3D
>I don't care
>I just don't like very specific dithering pattern
In that case, you should probably just use an NTSC or PAL signal shader (same shit with SDTV preset). Why bother with scanline and mask simulations? They aren't even accurate for 480i/p content anyway.

I played silent hill on an atrocious hand-me-down CRT in 2000. You had to turn it on and leave it on for about 20 mins for the tubes to warm up and the screen to become visible.
The PS1 was hooked up with an RF cable.
You could still see the dithering clearly.

"blending dithering" with composite is a fucking meme. If you want to get rid of dithering, you have to lower the signal bandwidth (increase the blur) until it's gone. There's a shader called TV Out Tweaks that does just that. You have to set the horizontal blur/bandwidth/resolution to 160 to blend dithering. There is some collateral damage though - It's blurry as fuck, it makes everything look shit, it fucks up text, the entire screen looks awful, etc, but hey, at least SOME of your dots will be smeared together.

Your best bet is to just get used to it.

>>563624085

This actually looks pretty good, but I would never sacrifice this much of the screen for this for a real play session.

Bezels just seem good for webms more than anything honestly. I don't know what kind of sick freak would play a game like this on purpose. Any time I play one of those arcade ports with borders? That shit gets turned off first thing. You DO know the only reason the Super Gameboy had them was because the SNES couldn't scale the Gameboy's resolution to full screen without issues, and they wanted to do something with all the blank space on screen, right? See for yourself. Try to get a Gameboy emulator working with integer scaling in progressive mode on an NTSC 15khz TV. The native 160x144 resolution won't work without a 240p container/being shrunk, and 320x288p won't work without rolling or cutoff, and the SNES sure as shit wasn't gonna hardware scale it to 480i with bilinear filtering. So the whole reason we have these stupid copes to begin with was because the SNES just couldn't fullscreen GB games.

I dunno how much of what you perceived as dithering was PS1's lack of texture filtering + aliasing or an actual dithering pattern across the screen. That RF wouldn't blur it significantly is doubtful. The composhit meme is real, to an extent anyway. The waterfalls wouldn't work if it didn't.

Is RPCS3 a lot better recently?

I tried it a few months ago and it crashed on literally every game almost immediately. I looked up recommended settings and all that, Tekken 5 ran fine but every other game I tried either wouldn't load, crashed in the menus, or crashed after a very short period of gameplay. Pretty much all the games I played were allegedly among the more stable ones too. Eventually I ragequit out of the whole thing and uninstalled it after way too much fucking around for almost no reward.

I'm using Linux Mint on a Legion 7 laptop with a 3080, 32gb ram, ryzen 9, so it should be comfortably good enough hardware. I ask because I've seen a lot of stuff saying it has drastically improved in recent months and now is stable on at least half the catalogue. But people were saying shit like that before I initially tried it too. Is it actually better now?

Is my experience normal? Because I see people raving about it and yeah I'm sure it's a great technical achievement to even get it to that level, but I don't see how anybody could recommend it to anyone even for novelty value based on the experience I had. But the same people raving about it will say 'yeah it will always crash eventually on every game lol you can't expect it to actually WORK'. Weird stuff. What's been your experience with it?

You need 5K (2880p) to get anywhere close to emulating mask pitch of a Trinitron.
Even more for shadow mask.

>>563645340
Depends on the Trinitron. A BVM (what I assume is the first image in your pic), yeah maybe, but a consumer-line TV should be much more doable with lower resolutions.

is there any point in using shaders on a laptop with a 1366x768 screen?

>>563651494
Probably not a CRT shader, but something like sharp-bilinear might still be OK.

>>563651428
1080p isn't even optimal for 240p, regardless of TVL. It's "doable" at best, but for 480i/p? Not a chance. On top of that, you need HDR and some kind of local dimming.

https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Shaders,_presets,_and_filters#Display_Hardware_Requirements

>>563653972
Yeah, 1080p is definitely a non-starter for 480-line resolutions, but for 240p it's passable enough. It can simulate 540 and 360 TVL Trinitrons using 2-pixel and 3-pixel masks respectively, which roughly correspond to mid-range displays. Again, not ideal, but it can definitely work. It will, of course, require some kind of brightness compensation, so in a way it is cope, but well, if you're still stuck on 1080p in current year, you kinda have to do that regardless.

1440p is, I think, where it gets pretty swell, still not ideal, but nice enough where I think you can be satisfied unless you're hellbent on getting as close to the CRT experience as physically possible without an actual CRT. This resolution lets you go up to 720 TVL, which is very nice if you're shooting for a high-end PVM look, but it can go down to 360 TVL if you want a more consumer look, while doing it better than at 1080p. And here, I think, slot masks actually also become viable.

I'm not even a BVM/PVM Pro broadcast CRT fetishist. I don't care about high TVL; I don't like that "barcode" look, and I never had it growing up anyway, so there's no nostalgia there for me. I don't care about RGB or S-Video either, most of us used Composite (or RF for older systems) back in the day.

But like you said, it’s still not an "optimal" setup. It doesn't look great even for 240p content. 1440p is fine for 240p, but it still falls short for 480i/p. Resolution is only one piece of the puzzle; you really need per-pixel emission and high enough luminance to make it work.

At this point, just use an actual SDTV or EDTV for 480p/i systems. Or, just drop the mask and scanline filters entirely and use presets like SDTV one on the wiki. No point in dropping thousands of bucks on a digital toy with a two-year lifespan.

I’m just hoping we eventually see proper analog signal emulation instead of just trying to simulate that with post-processing shaders.

Indeed, at this point, the monitor itself is the key to everything. Even a 4K monitor will eat shit authenticity-wise if it's one of those cheap panels that can't go above 400 nits or so.

Still, if you are OK with a bit of cope, 480-line content IS doable even at 1440p. You just have to besmirch any semblance of scanlines and just focus on emulating the mask and fiddling with parameters to mitigate the hit to brightness, which shouldn't take much since you're not dealing with scanline gaps at all. Here's a lazy first attempt with a preset I already had on hand for 240p content, just adjusting so that it doesn't trigger interlacing and to reduce some vertical blur.

Nope, it's using guest-crt-advanced-fast only.

No, it's using the software renderer, though deinterlacing patches are on, so maybe that has something to do with the increased sharpness.

Good enough, 1440p

Why is PPSSPP the only emulator with actual texture scaling?

You figure something like PCSX2 should be able to add it pretty easily since they have all the code to support texture packs. It feels like you could just vibe code this into the emulator in an afternoon by pointing the AI at the way PPSSPP does it.

If none of those work and there’s no patch available in the repository

then you’re probably cooked. You can't solve dithering or interlacing problems with post-processing shaders.

Not strictly emulation related but redump seems to have no standards when it comes to pc dumps.

I see, ty I'll check the bezel pack

>>563644820
Why wouldn't it, exactly? It's not that polygonally dense of a game and the PS1 can move plenty of sprites (as polygons) around. Maybe some of the larger 2D backgrounds would need to be nerfed, or a raster effect might need to get cut as seen in Silhouette Mirage or Mega Man 8 from Sat to PS1. It would run fine.

>>563679469
nta but Thunderforce V had way less going on in term of 2D sprites and layers and yet the PSX version still couldn't run it without massive cuts to the 2D assets and removed a lot of effects and it looks very off in most of the game. There's no way Radiant would have looked anywhere near as good.
I still wish it was ported, the gameplay would have been the same anyway and I would have played it sooner if it was on psx.

>>563645259
Sega's 16bit era was weird.
They made all these amazing arcade games and then didn't port them to the megadrive or saturn.
Instead, they made home versions that were different and not as good.
Examples are:
Shadow Dancer
Eswat
Moonwalker
Revenge of Death Adder
etc.

>>563679919
I think Thunderforce uses more VDP2 raster/mode7-y shit than RSG and to be fair I think more talented/less lazy hands could have ported it more faithfully. Not to say anything of Saturn's library but the hardware just isn't great and even its 2D edge isn't massive. It can do raster tricks like heat haze and refraction/water warp better, and it can have some slightly larger backgrounds in memory, but that's it. You have to keep in mind, the MO back then was to just cut it if the other platform didn't have the hardware feature, instead of recreating it for the other machine. In defense of the Saturn on the topic of 90s port quality: SOTN could have been much better on the Saturn if it was more adeptly retooled for it and wasn't handed to the C-team chucklefucks in Nagoya. Oh no, don't just expand the viewport for a native Saturn resolution like a human, frickin' scale the assets and bake in terrible aliasing everywhere.

It's been two days, jan-jans, unclog this fucking toilet.

>>563680809
Revenge of the Death Adder was a 32bit game and would have required the 32x at the least for a passable, but not great, port. System 18, which most of those were on, were generally ballsier than the Megadrive, faster CPU, better video hardware, but yeah... probably could have gotten a little bit closer to arcade on some of those, anyway. IMO Shadowdancer MD is better.

desu, that one looks good aesthetically, but it’s nowhere near accurate for that specific hardware. 448i/480i and 240p are completely different animals, though I see the point you're making.

>If you don't have interlacing shader it tries to render 448/480 (or whatever) lines which yes does look like shit at 1440p
Even 4K struggles with 448i and 480-line content due to the scaling math:
1080p: 2.25× (Non-Integer) – uneven mess.

1440p: 3× (Integer) – Sharper, but "chunky"; not enough pixel budget for good mask simulation.

4K: 4.5× (Non-Integer) – Nah+requires interpolation.

5K: 6× (Integer) – The "sweet spot"; smooth, sharp, and acceptable/enough room.

8K: 9× (Integer) – Good, looks convincing.

If you’re implying I should just use a VGA CRT, that doesn't actually solve the interlacing or dithering issues with emulation. You either need the original hardware on an actual SDTV, or a proper internal fix. PP Shaders don't cut it.

Nigga, calm down.

-> MOST <- VGA CRTs do not -> natively <- support interlaced scan modes. On top of that, an emulator's framebuffer output doesn't function like a raw analog signal; you can't simply toggle an 'interlaced' resolution mode and expect it to resolve the internal interlacing artifacts of a PCSX2 game on a VGA monitor.

You are missing the fundamental point: software emulation on a PC doesn't interface with hardware that way. Simply forcing an interlaced resolution in Windows won't magically transform a high-frequency PC monitor into a low-frequency consumer TV. Because the emulator renders to a digital buffer, you will never achieve the authentic phosphor bleed or the specific 'combing' effect produced by original hardware. To truly address interlacing and dithering on a VGA CRT, you must use the emulator’s internal deinterlacing solution and blending algorithm/methods. Relying on the monitor's physical scan method is a misunderstanding in your case; any other 'fix' is just a hack that fails to address how the software actually processes the image.

This is what a leftist does in discourse. I know you're not a fan of that kind of person, yet here you are acting like one. The Ymir dev obviously, if you're that retarded and forgot what we were talking about like a goldfish.

>>563736656
(cont.)
Unless PCSX2 has a low-level way to bypass the host OS display stack and interact directly with the analog output timing (kinda like CRT emudriver but it should be built-in), which the devs will never bother with.

Modern GPUs and APIs abstract the hardware. The emulator doesn't 'see' your CRT in that way; it sees a virtual canvas. By the time that image reaches your VGA monitor, the 'fields' have already been mangled by the framebuffer logic. Even with CRT Emudriver, you're just seeing a pre-processed image already. You can't fix that at the monitor level.

>>563737440
Pretty much. Until they develop better algorithms that can actually fix it properly, we're stuck with these half-measure fixes like 'no-interlace' patches. The current deinterlacing methods just aren't good enough.

Unacceptable. I refuse to believe no one between the game engine, OS, and GPU can find a way to accelerate shaders despite it being a woe even normies have known about for years now.

Some guy explained it in his blog sometimes ago, we're still using shaders like it was the early 2000's, problem is shaders where lightweights thing back then. With today muh UE5 graphics and muh low-level API, shaders are bloated things that can't be compiled seamlessly anymore unless you recode the whole way we do shader or we stop wanting more and more photorealistic graphics, but the GPU manufacturers will never allow that (Even if the IA is now their main customer, not the PC gamers).

I think later versions of Godot use Vulkan and have some shader comp/async built in but of course the Cruelty Squad faggots don't use it.

Of course, how could I forget that engine!? There was an incredibly soulful Pac-Man remake made on that engine that goes above and beyond any remake I've played thus far. (It goes out of its way to not only include mazes from official Pac-Man games, but also various clones, hacks, and fangames.) It's only in the demo phase so far, but from what's available, it's REALLY good.
