These Sonkun shaders for RetroArch look great. I don't emulate much on a desktop, but I think I will set these up on Steam Deck for use while docked. Note: Make sure to view the full-sized images to (social.linux.pizza)

@trezzer@social.linux.pizza

These look amazing.
So much better than the "let's just throw a scanline filter on there and call it a day" type of rereleases.

I really wish we would get these kinds of things more in official ports.

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games Yeah, very few go the extra mile. I think it probably is a fair bit of extra work, though, since you would have to be sure it works on all display types and resolutions.

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games Me too, most CRT shaders aren't even that heavy. It wouldn't be that hard to have a good preset.

@trezzer@social.linux.pizza Small tip, if you are playing on a monitor or a low resolution TV just turn off the mask. Recently I switched to Retroarch's simpler included CRT shaders from CyberLab's CRT Royale presets and I think they make for a much better experience. Much lighter and brighter too, I love using CRT Consumer with NES.

@person@fosstodon.org That's what I do :) Plus on a small display it's far harder to see the effect anyway, so I just use it on big displays.
