Why would you do that?

Let me elaborate a bit more.
That shader combination is not good for all kinds of games.
Games with digitized stuff, like mortal kombat or dkc, don't look so good. Games that use dithering look weird with this filter, too. That's because the bumps in little spaces (small color regions) look weird.
So, only cartoon games or games with big color regions look good with it.

somebody play with hyllians filter and record it in motion. ive got emulators setup for my ps3 but really dont see myself hassling through adding these filters if they dont look good in motion.
God GOD this looks horrible. Do you young gamers also prefer piss filters and exagerrated bloom in 3D too by any chance? That filter there still doesn't convey the artstyle and spirit of the original sprites, it's "less horrible" than many other filter but still god damned putrid and a pain to look at for me. That must be what they call the "generation gap". It's time for me to have children I guess.

I don't really like the filter, but I must say that I really like the look of the fire in the last two pictures.

It's certainly magical. Unholy, foul sorcery.
However, I totally expect someone to make an indie game at some point specifically using this filter and it will look absolutely fantastic.

oh my god that is the worst thing i've ever--you guys aren't serious about thinking this looks good, are you?
This reminds me of the time that one person posted a series of image of an Ocarina of Time cel-shaded mod which he thought looked amazing but caused almost everyone else in that topic to simultaneously vomit.

very nice if you ask me.
Where can I get this shader/filter?Hyllian said:Maybe it works on the latest Snes9x. But my notebook is too crap to run shaders, so I can't test it. And I don't know if the PC version runs two shaders at once.
EDIT: bsnes can run it through SSNES. A friend of mine took this screenshot some time ago:

Okay. So I was looking up CRT filters after being really disappointed with the way it was done in MK Arcade Kollection (curved screen with scanlines that weren't even evenly spaced). And I came across HLSL again in a mameworld forum thread, and saw this:
Its beautiful. The configuration here is easily the closest thing I've seen to reproducing the look of a CRT. Unfortunately I couldn't get it working for me. The settings are mentioned here (John IV's post with the MK2 screenshot). I'd love to see the same settings applied to other games at a similar resolution.

Do we really want a curved screen? I've got a flatscreen CRT and it's about as perfect as I could want it. Actually if I could kill all the geometry issues it would be ideal. The resolution of a CRT is what I want.. not the oldschool shape.

I'm back and forth on the curved screen, but what the screenshot above really nails is the shape and texture to each pixel. As mentioned before, this filter is customizable so you could remove the curvature if you wanted to. I just wish I could get it working so I could see it in motion on my HDTV.BocoDragon said:Do we really want a curved screen? I've got a flatscreen CRT and it's about as perfect as I could want it.
