Kyubus Reshade Retro CRT TV Shader

The blurry borders are just video editing, not part of the shaders (yet)

Hey, fella, just a heads up regarding v43: Color temp is a bit too warm, and the colors themselves appear oversaturated. Still, thanks for bringing some CRT shader presets that we can use for older PC games and some not-Retroarch emulators!

[@PaladinLarec]

Looks just like the old 13 inch wood grain crt I had as a kid that my C64 was hooked to

[@GoodPunk]

Now I would use FakeHDR Reshare filter to bump up the brightness again... that should look great. ^^

[@leftyfourguns]

Does that actually work? My one and only complaint to these otherwise amazing shaders is how much they dim the picture, which isn't what CRTs did

[@Lyndis_]

Love the shaders! Works amazing in so many games. I do have an issue in one game though which I've struggled to figure out, in Stardew Valley whenever I move vertically the effects stop working and there is some screen tearing/jitter, I've not really been able to figure out what settings I should use to get it to properly display

[@kyubus7814]

That sounds really strange, maybe there is a conflicting keybind to the Reshade hotkeys? You may need to remove those. I've got it working just fine on Stardew using OpenGL.

Looks amazing, see the warmth and depth, character no longer looks like a paper-cut out figure, and have weight too. If this can also apply on watching movie, that would be a great thing! Every new smart tv should have this kind of visual effect built-in their tv function.

[@kyubus7814]

It can be used for watching videos. Reshade can be installed to media player MPC-BE (dx9) or Shaderglass. But it won't work on capture-protected apps such as Netflix.

Could it be a little less dark? or canyou gudie us on the parameterto modify? thanks! keep the good work

[@kyubus7814]

Try the presets from the "NoGammaChange" folder

[@closedcatastrophe]

For some reason when I use these shaders, or any crt shader with resolution settings, the game always looks broken and blurry when using low-resolutions, do you have any advice on how to fix this?

[@kyubus7814]

I assume you're trying to use this on old PC games that only boot in low-res fullscreen. Unfortunately, your only hope is to find a mod/patch/remaster/source port/emulator that supports borderless fullscreen window or high-res fullscreen.

[@closedcatastrophe]

@kyubus7814 I'm referring to using these with emulators like you are in the video. They look fine in the video, but when I use your SD settings, they look wrong. I can send a picture if necessary.

[@kyubus7814]

@@closedcatastrophe Okay, the emulator you're using maybe isn't set to integer scaling, or you may be using a resolution that's incompatible with the presets, modifying the Y resolution in preset would fix that.

How can I add this to Steam retroarch?

[@kyubus7814]

In Steam, right click RetroArch > Manage > Browse local files. Install Reshade to that location. The default rendering api I believe is Vulkan. Then copy the zip's contents to the same location.

no intelligence to say if this can be used in retroarch?

[@kyubus7814]

Absolutely, it can. There are some retroarch shaders as well in the Extra's folder if you don't want to deal with Reshade
