Showcase for RetroArch Shaders 2024

Table of Contents

CRT 4k

  1. CRT 4k
    1. Scene: Chrono Trigger #Court

Crops with a size of 280×280 from 4k screenshots, of 50 different Shaders in the “crt”-directory. Plus nearest and bilinear for reference. Have in mind the images here are very close up zooms for study and fun reasons. When you play at this high resolution, then the game will look much sharper on your screen.

Scene: Chrono Trigger #Court

Chrono Trigger (USA) on SNES. The crop shows the councilor in the court for the trial against Crono.

Imgsli is an external service with the ability to zoom in and change the images to compare. I’ve uploaded sets with fullscreen captures.

  1. What a fantastic series! Have you done a similar series for the NES, Sega Master System, and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive? I would love to see the comparisons between those consoles and emulators of said consoles!

    1. Thank you. Right, the variety on systems (especially handhelds) is something that is missing. I had to limit to a few scenes here, because I made a screenshot for every Shader Preset (690) 4 times for each resolution. With future articles I will focus on more systems rather than covering all Shaders.
