xBRZ... shaders for FS-UAE

[guest.r]

More like dots in a line, instead of a weak visible scanline (fully consistent). Or does the value combo works better here?

The scanlines seem fine, the problem is that the dotmask spoils them a bit afterwards. To remove the mask would be a bit drastic, but the influence can be reduced.

Edit: new versions

[Retro-Nerd]

Ah ok. It's only nitpicking. I'll take the older guest-crt-int shader you've posted yesterday. And thanks again for the nice lores shader.

[guest.r]

Hey, you are welcome.
I think this time it's better in this regard as the mask is applied without changing the line brightness.

[Retro-Nerd]

Indeed the current one looks best so far.

It's a shadow mask, right? Have you tried a aperture grille version too? I like the Trintron CRT style.

[guest.r]

I've tried some masks and the aperture grille one looks best with this type of scanlines.
Didn't want to make it to pointy though, but the effect can be more intense.

------------------------------------------------

I also produced another iteration of the crt shader. It may be a very nice TV shader because of the smoother graphics.

Edit: new version, a bit nicer.

[Retro-Nerd]

I also produced another iteration of the crt shader. It may be a very nice TV shader because of the smoother graphics.

Looks nice too though i prefer the sharper one. Any chance that you could port some more CRT lores shader to FS-UAE? I like the hyllian or caligari shader in other emulators.

[guest.r]

Hey, no problem, glad you mentioned it.

[Retro-Nerd]

Hehe, looks really great. Though a tiny bit too much blur imo, even with a B=0 value for the horizontal filter. Anyway it's a fine lores shader.

[FrodeSolheim]

@guest.r Looks like you're doing good work with shaders. If you'd like them included with FS-UAE (now or later), just bundle them up in a zip and send to frode@fs-uae.net

(But they must be distributable under a suitable open source-license or public domain)

[guest.r]

Hey, thanks for stopping by.
I have a nice bundle in mind, will send it soon.

regards to your superb work, guest.r

[Retro-Nerd]

Thanks for the sharpness implementation for Hyllian. Looks much better now. Together with the Phospor and Scanline Strength values you get pretty good results.



edit: Is it possible to port this shader to WinUAE? I have the Tyson CRT shader, which is pretty good. But it uses antialiasing and that looks bad for text/fonts.

[guest.r]

Is it possible to port this shader to WinUAE?

It's posssible, but without the mask effect (mask can be added on top the shader from filter menu) and it should be used with benevolent settings to look OK (like auto integer scaling, that worked...).

Note: this shader is for WinUAE.

Edit: Faster version of CRT-Guest-Lo-Res (original version can cause slowdowns).

[Retro-Nerd]

And it looks great. Thanks again.

@guest.r Thank you very much for the shader bundle, I've added to git in the following commit:
https://github.com/FrodeSolheim/fs-u...3a791b41cd1398

Will be part of the next release

[guest.r]

Thanks mr. Frode, i really appreciate it.
Good reason to get the newest version lol.

crt-hyllian and crt-guest do not work for me :-\
Thanks to DEBUG_SOURCE_SHADER_COMPILER env.-var. I get a little more verbose log output. I hope this will help to find the problem.

Hey, nice for givin it a try.

Can you test these versions?

Nevertheless, good compatibility is important.

Both work fine now. Thanks!

[BrenMcGuire-GER]

hyllian is working but it seems that it is too much for my MacMini i5 because the sound ist stuttering. even guest will not work. FS-UAE reports a compiling error and ignores the filter.
Do you have any hints for me? I really like to play games with the guest filter!

[guest.r]

Hi there!

Can't say much without a log report (hint: cache\logs\fs-uae.log.txt) and i didn't test it on an Intel gpu, don't own one.

But i made a crt-guest-fast version which should work fast enough i guess, if it gives you trouble just attach your log file or quote the relevant segment.
