RetroArch shaders for ReShade (4.0+)

I've remade my entire repo of RetroArch ports for ReShade.

Seeing this thread still gets traffic, i've decided to update it.

The new link is here: github.com/Matsilagi/RSRetroArch/

There you will find all my RA stuff + Shadertoy ports of stuff related to RetroArch and retro gaming!

Enjoy!

Glad to see that someone plans to port those great retroarch crt shaders to reshade ! A big thanks to you !
A lot of people not only myself would be interested to use those shaders with retro style pixel art games.
In previous reshade 1 and 2 there was also a shader based on Lottes (pixelart crt) but it was buggy and never been fixed
The only good crt shader that really worked in reshade was an old version of cgwg ( advanced crt ) provided with sweetfx suite but they changed it thereafter and removed precise X and Y control. Since it's impossible to get precise pixel perfect output for and it's just messy.

I really hope that you'll find how to make it compile for dx9/opengl and finally bring us some quality CRT shaders for reshade.. cgwg, hylian, easymode ... to name a few

Now fixed! You can use it on all games.

Nice man, you know depending on the license of the original shader you should consider making a pull request to the official reshade-shaders GitHub repo.

Pretty sure this one can since its on Public Domain.
I just have to add the credits properly, then its good to pull.

2 NEW SHADERS JOINS THE COLLECTION:
First one is a port of NTSC from MAME to ReShade, its a bit heavy, but works: pastebin.com/Z9ZSLENp
Second one is a port of the NTSC Shader from RetroArch, this one works exactly like it (and even has a resolution chooser!): pastebin.com/w8bcnEh4

Just rename them accordingly and enjoy!

Hi,

The NTSC shader is great. Works really great with PCSX2. I don't really know if I understand it correctly. What resolution do I enter in the settings? Resolution of the screen or the native resolution of a game?

Is it a specific ntsc shader from retroarch or is it a modified version?

You can choose any res you want. (However, i'd reccomend the native res of the console).
It is the shader included with RetroArch in the ntsc folder (ntsc-svideo and ntsc)

I have used the ntsc shader you've mentioned in retroarch but I see no 'flickering' with the it (ntsc, not the s-video ntsc) that I have in reshade without the s-video enabled. When I change the resolution in reshade to the lower one it's more obvious while with high resolution it can become non-existant. Do you know how could I tweak it in RA?

By the way, I love it with two-phase enabled and s-video disabled. The picture is very smooth.

The "flickering" is meant to happen only in COmposite and it is more visible with minor resolutions because the effect gets bigger.

TWO NEW SHADERS ARE NOW PORTED
CRT-Easymode: pastebin.com/fmfvVYhR
CRT-Aperture: pastebin.com/ijy2A4sJ

Comig soon: Perhaps CRT-Hyllian, i still have no idea on how to fix it.

CRT-Hyllian not sure for all works correctly but, pastebin.com/Pug1KdVg

GREETINGS!!
Do I need to get everyone and rename? Or is it an "all in one"?

You need to copy and paste from pastebin and save the name according to the shader.
They are not All in One.

Worked here! Thanks a lot.

Added a few Resolution control stuffs to make the Scanlines render better, here , the version which is getting to the OP:

Here it is: pastebin.com/Ud3JSW93

That leaves GTU and Geom left. I will see what i can do about them (Not counting CRT-Royale, too big and complex for me)

EDIT:Done! Now we have most of the CRT shaders from retro arch ported.
Cgwg: pastebin.com/2ZwNSXLt
Geom: pastebin.com/633tGqsc

Thanks for answering.
I do not want to abuse your goodwill, but I asked for help on another topic and no one knew how to help: Is there any filter higher than HQ4x?
Sometimes I see screenshots of old 2D games very filtered, perfect, without aliasing. Is there any secret or technique for this?
Is there HQ8x, for example? Is there a way to simulate a HQ8x without distorting the image?

Gonna take a look at it later. Im not sure how it works but if its on RetroArch, i may try porting it.
Meanwhile, i've finished GTU, when Pastebin is back, i will update the OP.

Hmm, I've got a strange thing going on. When GTU and NTSC_retroarch are both in the directory, the latter gives me a black screen. I'm using DX11.

Try changing some of the values (especially screen size)
Both works fine here, maybe I'm passing an int as float? Please play around with the values then lemme know if that fixed.

Haven't tried DX11, because it seems that it works with opengl in PCSX2 which is now recommended over DX and with this setup I have no issues. I don't know... maybe some old settings interfered ealrier or something.
