Retroarch Shaders

[shitoken]

Hi friends,

Do we have already have a topic about RA shaders which shader is good for which system? and which are you currently using?

Sorry as I could not find that

Thanks

crt-easymode-halation for 240p consoles. I've been trying xbr-lv2-accuracy-smart-blur as an alternate for when I feel like something different; it's probably the best smoothing shader.

 

gb-pocket-shader for Gameboy.

 

pixellate for handhelds and 480p consoles. I don't like any of the color LCD shaders available so far, and the CRT shaders don't look great on 480p content. Pixellate keeps everything even looking at non-integer scale by blurring subpixels.

I found some kickass handheld shaders off the retroarch forums DMG-something...i'll have to look up the thread.

How about SNES/FAMICOM/NEOGEO/SEGA Systems?

Those are all 240p, so my first suggestion. There're lots of other crt shaders to try; crt-easymode-halation just has great default settings and doesn't have scanline scaling or brightness issues.

Any chance you could throw up some screenshots? I'm getting lost in the lingo here lol.

Personally I just use the advanced-aa shader for every system. Seems to smooth things out quite nicely. Though I'm trying to get everything stretched to 16:9 on a 50" TV, so my needs may be different than most lol.
