CRT Presets 1440p
Crops with a size of 280×280 from 1440p screenshots, of 18 different Shaders in the “preset”-directory. Plus nearest and bilinear for reference. The presets consist mostly of special configurations and variations of CRT Shaders from the “crt”-directory.
Scene: King of Fighters 99 #Rainy Day
The King of Fighters ’99 – Millennium Battle (NGH-2510) / kof99h on Neo Geo AES. The crop is the standing position of fighter K’ at the garden stage.
Imgsli is an external service with the ability to zoom in and change the images to compare. I’ve uploaded sets with fullscreen captures.

Scene: Streets of Rage 2 #Bar Lights
Streets of Rage 2 (USA) on Genesis / Mega Drive. The crop is from main character standing halfway under the lights. Most notably the pseudo transparency effect from the lights is the main test here.

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!

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.

At the time of posting, the Internet Archive was broken.
Edit:
Never mind, I finally managed to upload them all to the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/showcase_for_retroarch_shaders_2024_screenshot_sets_202504
If you experience slow downloads, using a VPN set to the US might help. That’s because the Internet Archive throttles download and upload speeds to outside the US.
