Super Nintendo UPDATE - RetroArch CRT TV Shader/Filter

[@RetroCrisis]

Sorry about the silence at the end. Got copyright claimed by Square Enix

[@isayasbashiri5371]

Oh really? Was it for FFIV, V or VI?

[@RetroCrisis]

It's really irritating when companies take the "nintendo approach" to everything, and decide to be annoying DCMA pricks.

[@autistikicecream]

I'm a simple man - see Retro Crisis' new video, give it a like and update my shaders! Thank you for your awesome work, dude!

[@RetroCrisis]

Awe thanks dude - I hope the update works well for you 🍻

[@the1ucidone]

This makes my day! I'm about to use these asap. I tell you these shaders have turned my Odin 2 into the ultimate gaming machine for me.

[@RetroCrisis]

Oh wow that’s awesome to hear

[@TylerJohnson02]

This looks amazing! I just got done playing Final Fantasy III for the first time and I used your shader. It looked soooo good, CRT shaders really make these old games look gorgeous. I'm looking forward to using this new version for when I get around to Chrono Trigger!

[@RetroCrisis]

Thanks dude. Chrono Trigger is like the BEST game on the SNES!!! You're in for a treat 🍻

[@Planetugm]

Just here to send my respect to the man like, Retro Crisis! Great work, bro!

[@RetroCrisis]

Thanks for the support bro - always appreciated 🍻

[@retropulse03]

Great work as always man. I'm interested in your process for capturing these side-by-side comparisons. Would like to show off my own shader presets with something more than screenshots haha.

[@Goopa-Troopa]

I'd imagine they're using some kind of TAS input

[@JRokujuushi]

I'm pretty sure they're just recording the pre-game demo sequences. Mario Kart is playing the title music, Super Metroid is playing the title music, Mega Man X2 has sound but no music, Street Fighter Alpha 2 keeps flashing the message to press the start button... Plenty of evidence to suggest it's not recorded during regular gameplay.

[@RetroCrisis]

For this video I used the demo sequences. You're absolutely spot on.

[@RetroCrisis]

Are you presets available anywhere to download? I'd love to check them out

[@Dinosaur_Arcade]

Can this shader be installed ibto BSNES or SNES9x without Retroarch?

[@chorgox]

i prefer the clean but they look fantastic both of them

[@jart122]

I try to use your shaders with retroarch and batocera and I always get an error to fail shader. I have vulkan setup, but I can't seem load it.

[@RetroCrisis]

Make sure you're using the latest version of retroarch and you've updated 'slang shaders' under 'online updater'

[@andresqcolmenares]

Hola , estos shaders sirven para retroarch en switch ? Porque veo que los de switch tienen fotmato glslp

[@TheRampageTulk]

Awesome games show 💎 I gotta go with dirty for the snes shader!

[@nolejd50]

Can I use it for NES games? I'm new to all things RetroArch and I'm honestly lost in the sea of shaders filters settings and whatnot. I've no idea what I'm doing, I'm basically just randomly picking out presets and trying them out, but nothing really turns out the way I would like it to. I hate pixels but I also hate modern anti-aliasing solutions such as scaleFX, it looks terrible in my opinion. I want my games to look like the pixels are meshing together such as in this video, exactly the way it was back in 2000s on CRT TVs.

[@RetroCrisis]

Hi, in my pack are also NES presets that you're welcome to try out. This guide can help you install it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWWVmGVphLOMqas

[@nolejd50]

@@RetroCrisis Hi there and thank you for your reply. I've been tinkering with the presets and eventually I figured out how it all works, if only on a basic level. I've tried out many presets and shaders and usually there's something I love about them (smoothness i.e. no pixelation, clarity, glass in MBZ) and also something I don't like (modern-like edge smoothing, lack of scan lines, too prominent scan lines, pixelation). So it was usually a combination of sth I like and sth I don't. So I tampered with the shader parameters and I came up with something I mostly like, especially when it comes to shadows and color gradation in games, but I am not able to make the text and characters for example less pixelated. Is there a way I could send it to you and you could maybe take a look when you have time?

[@theGVirtue]

I testes some and It's me or the genesis shader looks kinda too bright? Good job btw!!!!

[@SonicTheFantastic]

Ummm, the file for this update has the date of May 5th in its name. Could you please update the page to have the new file name?

[@RetroCrisis]

Thanks for spotting that. I've updated it now

[@SonicTheFantastic]

@@RetroCrisis Thank you!

[@Nikko911]

i really like your shaders, but the colors are heavily oversaturated ;(

[@RetroCrisis]

@@Nikko911 it's been updated since kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH62faSMnMh3rMU

[@Nikko911]

@@RetroCrisis yes, those are the ones that im using, and they are all oversaturated except of the RF 100 ones.

[@RetroCrisis]

@@Nikko911 i need to go back and fix the Saturation on the older presets. Thanks for highlighting

[@Retrato_lo_Retro]

very nice

[@GenericJohnDoe]

I can smell the crt....

[@wingedhussar1453]

crt with bit britgher gamma would b pefect

[@rsguth]

Works on PS vita?

[@wss1986]

"snes clean" has better quality.

[@AnimatedViking]

Will these work on android?

[@RetroCrisis]

Should do. I can't see why not.

[@AnimatedViking]

It won't let me choose one of the presets. There is no update slang shaders in online updater also.

[@RetroCrisis]

@@AnimatedViking how did you install RetroArch ?

[@AnimatedViking]

@@RetroCrisis Downloaded the APK from homepage. Seems like that is the best way to do it, there is a rumor that the playstore verion is fake or wrong.

[@AnimatedViking]

@@RetroCrisis Also, since Android 14 there is no way to access the system folders without rooting my phone. So I had to point the app to another folder, and updated shaders_glsl from the Online Updater. That added some files to that folder, but not the _slang files.

[@ahmetaygul4247]

Looked good, but Mario Kart and Metroid looked bad I don’t know why

[@ricardoandresriquelmerios5995]

I'm try to used your shaders but is failed when I try to load it , did you why that is happen? @RetroCrisis

[@RetroCrisis]

Some steps that might help: 1. Online updated > Update slang shaders 2. Video driver > Vulkan 3. Triple check you've installed in the correct location 4. Make sure you didn't delete any of the folders in my pack

[@ricardoandresriquelmerios5995]

@@RetroCrisis it matters if I am in linux?

[@soundspark]

@@ricardoandresriquelmerios5995 Still use Vulkan.

[@isayasbashiri5371]

I changed my mind. I do need a Saturn and N64: dirty and clean preset. What a wonderful fucking job you did.

[@RetroCrisis]

Haha I promise I'll get around to those 🍻

[@isayasbashiri5371]

Take your time. There is no rush, RC. You and Sonkun enhance my retrogaming by 10 million with these presets

[@brayoungful]

Looks fantastic. However, i feel like the CRT Clean and Dirty presets are almost two extreme endmembers... like a really pristine S-Video and a bad RF connection. In general i think the Dirty preset had closer colors to what i remember. The Clean preset is... slightly green? However, i think the Dirty preset is a touch *too* blurry. The fringing and color smearing/blurring is a nice touch, though, that I think demonstrates what old pixel artists had originally intended. Keep up the good work!

[@tiagomnm]

Do you perform any colorspace correction on the shaders, regarding the signal? I was looking through specs and it seems both PAL and NTSC deviate from sRGB and rec709 used on HDTVs. NTSC is the worst offender. Are the targeting HDR and rec2020 or just 4k? What the shaders due to jaggies is pretty amazing. Great work!

[@Hoytehablode]

Hey not bad, as usual I will my comments hehehe, personal ones. I think scanlines should be a tad tiny byt less pronouns, too much space between pixels and maybe up the brightness a notch to compensate? As usual I am talking of the clean one, not a fan of the dirty look personally :)

[@RetroCrisis]

That's a good tip. I'll take another look at the scanline details again. Always appreciate the feedback

[@RetroCrisis]

That's a good tip. I'll take another look at the scanline details again. Always appreciate the feedback

[@ShakyVertex]

Ive enjoyed all of these releases. Have you written anywhere about what changes you make for each system preset and why? Is it based on just making each one look the best it can according to your own tastes or is it somewhat based on historical accuracy or something? I appreciate the showcase but I would enjoy watching a video or reading a blog post about your decision making process for the presets if you think that is worth sharing.

[@RetroCrisis]

I've never really thought to do that. But it does sound like a good idea. At some point soon if I get time I'll try to do something that explains the differences between the presets. I appreciate the advice

[@Draxooo]

oh, they looks incredible 🙂👍 wonderful job again. Thank you for keeping us still feel like a kids 😊 even just for a short moment. One small request though, can you please add the names of the games in the video or in a description. Some of those I never seen..and I wanna try then. 🙂 thank you for your work.

[@andregm3288]

bro Check NTSC shaders from RetroArch makes my 4k TV looks like my old sht TV LOL

[@_oBSOLEte_]

Looks gorgious! Dirty would be almost perfect for me, but there are a few details lost, I'll try them tomorrow.

[@RetroCrisis]

Maybe it’s a bit TOO dirty lol

[@_oBSOLEte_]

@@RetroCrisis Nah I love dirty. I've bumped NTSC resolution scaling to 1.5 so I think I got the best of both worlds... XD Thanks for the shader!

[@modestyblaise4167]

Which core is recommended? BSNES or Snes9x? 4:3 or 8:7? I’m guessing it’s on a game by game basis, so is there a known list which games work best for each aspect ratio? Thanks.

[@soundspark]

Does it support high res mode, pseudo high-res, and interlaced?

[@diegobsousa]

Great work. Please a make a video testing Donkey Kong Country Series and Killer Instinct.

[@Emmanuel17775]

1080p Folder is for Android with 1440p screen or I must use steam deck folder??

[@wolfman19851]

It looks really good, but can the Scanlines be turned off? It´s really distracting

[@JayRKID]

Do your shaders scale well for handheld devices with 3.5" screens such as an anbernic etc they look amazing

[@RetroCrisis]

Depends on the device resolution - there's a 720p folder in my pack - try that

[@xentrix89]

what is the difference of clean and dirty suppose to be clean is rca and dirty is rf?

[@AxwellSparrow]

I dream your Shader/Filter X Soqueroeu-TV

[@jart122]

Ok so I try to add my own custom shader. I added the shader to userdata/shaders/MyRetro/SNES-Clean.slangp I created the config on userdata/shaders/configs/MyRetro/rendering-defaults.yml In the config I typed snes: shader: MyRetro/SNES-Clean The shader will not load but I can see it being an option on list of or batocera per game menu

[@RetroCrisis]

That's a totally different file path to the one used in RetroArch. The file path needs to match the one on this video for my presets for function - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWWVmGVphLOMqas

[@rod9527]

Can you install these on the SNES mini ? 🤔

[@viniciusferreira7263]

It would be nice if you put the name of each game.

[@walterht8083]

Axelay looked a bit too dark to me

[@zZiL341yRj736]

While I like the filter and how it blends in all the colors, I still prefer raw pixels, it just looks sharper and cleaner.

[@RetroCrisis]

That's all good dude. Hopefully there's something for everyone

[@LeoStrife]

Nice work, but I found it very dark, I would have to force the bloom a little, the second one with too much NTSC filter with a lot of noise. I think it's better to opt for cleaner scanlines.

[@RetroCrisis]

Some parts of the video are a bit on the dark side. But if you try the shader presets on your computer, they might be a bit better

[@DavidPereiraLima123]

How it is in truth - How I remind of it - How it was in a CRT

[@RetroCrisis]

Lol that's a better description

[@danielgil1359]

will this work with android?

[@RetroCrisis]

Should work on a decent android device

[@edgarmorenocastillo8601]

Will it work with mega bezel?

[@raza_is_retro]

Nicee to see the update for the snes mate, looks great 😊😊

[@RetroCrisis]

Thanks Raza World Order!

[@AccountName-gv5ie]

Nice

[@inceptional]

Yeah, looks pretty sweet for the most part.

[@RetroCrisis]

Thanks dude 🍻

[@Kage5868]

This is the ugliest crt filter i ever seen, you know that when playing on a real crt you don't see scanlines until you get really close to the screen, this shader is like sticking your nose on a crt screen and playing

[@kabiebebe2332]

For what emulator are these?

[@RetroCrisis]

RetroArch. I use them on snes9x

[@Askotx]

Are these shaders exclusive to vulkan driver?

[@RetroCrisis]

I think they'll work with glcore too...but I'm not 100% sure. Have an experiment and see what you get

[@Sultansekte]

@@RetroCrisis yeah I'm also curious cause vulkan is the only driver on retroarch that adds input lag compared to gl.

[@jcmbird]

@@RetroCrisis they work fine on my Series X and that doesn't support Vulkan.
