Make the jump to OpenEmu.

Fuck that’s actually really pretty. Is that what it looks like OOB?

How is Jet Force Gemini?

Compile them? Works fine for me.

doesn't work at 240p on CRT

Once you load in ROMs it pulls the cover art on the fly, I've always had terrible luck with it not finding any of my cover art correctly, but I must be using the wrong ROM sets.

>>8498513
How are you driving a 240p display on a Mac?

[Anonymous No.8498702]

>>8498507
Using RetroArch so these niggers need to still compile those cores

[Anonymous No.8498735]

>>8498463
I just use Launchbox via Pegasus

What screen brightness level are you supposed to use with shaders? 100%? I usually have mine turned down to 52%, but the whites are too dark.

[Anonymous No.8498979]

>>8498924
I usually fiddle with the gamma in the shader settings until things look bright enough

[Anonymous No.8498985]

>>8498979
I'll look into that.

[Anonymous No.8499024]

>>8498463
>just use this crappier software bro
Nah

[Anonymous No.8499031]

>>8498924
The shader I used had an input and output gamma setting which helped a lot with the brightness without affecting the image quality

[Anonymous No.8499040]

>>8499024
OpenEmu uses the same cores, it's just zero-config except for controllers and shaders

[Anonymous No.8499051]

>>8499031
I'm using CRT-Guest-Dr Venom on the bsnes core with integer scaling enabled for Super Mario RPG. It looks really good, but it seems to have darkened the display a little, regardless of the brightness level of my display settings.

[Anonymous No.8499068]

>>8499040
Does it have VRR and run ahead?

[Anonymous No.8499073]

>>8499051
Go into parameters and turn up input gamma and see if that makes a difference

[Anonymous No.8499074]

>>8499051
They are called shaders. Aren't they supposed to darken the display a little?

[Anonymous No.8499092]

>>8499073
Is this one of those subjective things like looking through lenses at the optometrist? I'll be fretting over this all night. It was 2.40 by default.
>>8499074
You've got me there.

[Anonymous No.8499094]

>>8498463
OpenEmu doesn't have real Metal support for N64, either. I think they run it through a wrapper or some shit, now that Apple are fags and deprecated OpenGL entirely.

[Anonymous No.8499128]

>>8499092
It should affect it, I have input at 2.50 and output at 2.3 or 2.2 depending

[Anonymous No.8499136]

>>8499051
It's the mask emulation that's to blame, as well as the scanlines to a lesser extent. Emulating the CRT phosphors will inherently result in a loss of brightness. And God help you if you turn the mask strength all the way up to most accurately emulate them.

Really, the solution is an HDR display.

[Anonymous No.8499169]

>>8499136
So it's supposed to lose that brightness? I wish I could compare the image to my old CRT, but if it still worked, none of this would be necessary.

[Anonymous No.8499179]

>>8499136
I don't know what you are doing but mine isn't anywhere near that

[Anonymous No.8499198]

>>8499169
The more accurately that you emulate a CRT's phosphors, the more brightness you lose. The reason some shaders don't appear that dark is because they cheat.

>>8499179 is a good example. Notice the brighter the colors are, the more toned down the mask emulation is. You can really only make out the fact that there's supposed to be phosphors on the darker colors, and even then they're somewhat compromised.

Mind you, I'm not saying it looks bad by any means. It's just not that accurate to how a real CRT does things, and DESU neither is my shot, at least not all the way. At the end of the day, it comes down to the net effect and how you perceive it.

[Anonymous No.8499213]

>>8499198
I don't think it's toned down

[Anonymous No.8499235]

>>8499198
I do like what I have, but I just happened to notice it's darker than the 4k CRT Royale setup someone else was using, which I'll post next.

[Anonymous No.8499239]

>>8499235
My own attempt at pic related just gave me a kind of blurry mess, since my resolution isn't high enough, and the altnerative I was suggested looked great for me as above. But that's unrelated to the brightness issue.

[Anonymous No.8499246]

>>8499239
neat thats my screenshot

[Anonymous No.8499251]

>>8499246
Yeah, your setup honestly looks better than what I remember growing up with on a real CRT.

[Anonymous No.8499254]

>>8499213
Check the brightest yellow color on the title. It's solid yellow. Full-scale mask emulation would show actual RGB phosphors making up that yellow color. It's definitely toned down there.

Also, what is that mask, anyway? It looks like it's emulating an aperture grille, but in some places it has some kind of faux-slot mask effect on top?

[Anonymous No.8499258]

>>8499235
>>8499239
I went ahead and took a screenshot too

[Anonymous No.8499260]

>>8499258
I'm using the same mask, why's yours so much blurrier? I don't think I'd like that look myself. I think you and I have the same brightness, though.

[Anonymous No.8499261]

>>8499251
I think that's a bit of the point honestly. Trying to make it look like a CRT, but maybe a bit more with how your nostalgia remembers it as well.

[Anonymous No.8499269]

>>8499261
It's the best I've ever seen that game look, and it's my favorite game of all time, so I'm just trying to make do right now before I get a 4k display myself. I think that setup would really do the DKC trilogy justice, too.

[Anonymous No.8499270]

>>8499260
I wanted it a bit blurry to give a blended/softer look
I have all original hardware and a CRT now so I don't really use it anymore, but yeah that's what i was using

[Anonymous No.8499284]

>>8499269
Have those on my list to replay again.
Currently going through SOTN and Crash though.

[Anonymous No.8499290]

>>8499284
SOTN looks beautiful too from the similar setups I've seen screenshots of.

[Anonymous No.8499302]

>>8499270
I think I'll just stick to my current brightness, then, if you played with that. I'm not comfortable messing with settings on these shaders since I have no idea what I'm doing. I didn't really care about this sort of thing until I saw how ugly pre-rendered graphics look on modern displays, and most of my favorite SNES games are affected by it. Now I'm getting picky about details.
