@nostupidquestions Why do people like crt shaders in the retroarch community. There’s so many videos about it. Is it a product of their time or are non-crt experiencers doing it?
Maybe it’s a way for their smoothening upscaling shaders to look more pixelated and retro?
Lots of these games were designed on and for CRT screens and they look worse on a modern one without filtering.
I disagree. I emulate a lot, and the CRT stuff makes them look worse to me. Just adds noise to the image.
Sorry to be dumb, but which ones are the crt ones?
The right ones.
CRT pixels weren’t perfect blocks, making them look better with special care. It actually made some processes much easier to calculate as they could rely on that method to “round out” the image.
Edit: Except the second image
It only looks better because of nostalgia. I think the filter-less ones look better.
