Filters/Shaders recommendations

[Dgo]

I want to know what you recommend for classics or 'old' systems, like mame/arcade, nes, snes, gb, gbc, gba, md, gg, ss, n64, etc, etc. I know psp is kinda 'new' and can work well with xbrz shader even x6 and on same games like Mario it fits well imo, even on nes.

But others that tend to be more 'realistic' like Final Fight, that filter looks weird or deformed.

I don't particularly like scanlines (maybe just a bit and that's it) and I don't need it to be 100% similar to original I just want it to be prettier than standard or default version.

Will be reading your suggestions.

Mega Bezels with reflections.

Big pack, you can choose the Bezels and vintage display to fit you preference and platform. The reflection shader is quite demanding though, so there are "potato" versions without the reflection.

Mega Bezel stopped working for me completely with the latest Retroarch update...

Thanks will check those. I think I have them in my big overlay collection. I don't particularly like screen with effects (as if it were dirty or something) but will see the link.

----GB/GBC SHADERS
bevel.glsl (found in Handheld)
Default
2x

This makes the individual pixels pop beautifully, like a mosaic.

----SNES/GBA SHADERS
a) hq2x-halphon.glsl
Nearest
2x
b) scalefx-pass4-hybrid.glsl
Nearest
1x

This sort of blends the details, as if it was painted. This is closer to how we perceived the graphics on CRT monitors, that were blurring things a bit rather than showing clearly defined pixels. (Please note that I am not going for the CRT experience, for example I didn't add scanlines, but you can add more effects)

Wow those looks nice actually.
There are so many options and was hard to set the whole cores that at the end I kinda ended using a global settings like:
shaderscrt-blur-pisoft.slang

Plus video filter:epx
And bilinearon

Lottes multipass settings for Slang aka vulcan video driver.

Give it a go it has a Trinitron look.
It's rare that a shader doesn't dim the screen too much.

Change shadowmask if you would prefer pixels over scanlines.

Adjust hardpix depending on blur preference per system.

For higher res games or systems try frutbunn shader also.

I like subtle these mega bezels are cool and all but not for me.

Same to you. A pic won't kill ya.
Too much effort looking or guessing where it even is located. No thanks

It's in the CRT folder how is that hard. lol
I spent hours trying nearly every shader then googling for advice.
I tried what someone recommended and was pleasantly surprised.
The default settings for shader don't look all that good. Thats why I uploaded a settings pic.
I don't use the Retroarch steam version anymore for doing a screenshot to post on here.
Thanks for the appreciation, typical.

How am I even supposed to know it's on crt folder?
Yeah I spent hours too on crt folder weeks ago, don't wanna repeat it again. That's where I found my current fave shader.
You don't need to use steam ra version, you can still upload and link a picture of your standalone ra's screenshot.
Thanks for the appreciation, typical.
