Recently been gaining more of an appreciation for the thinner scanlines of a consumer CRT. I just wish there was a mode that simulated CRT phosphors but without scanlines for 480p and up games. Like a VGA monitor or HDCRT mode.
Just ordered a 5x to swap with my 2xmini mainly because I think the scanline options add so much to these older consoles. thanks for the vid, just followed on twitch too in hopes of seeing some scanliny goodness there.
I'm sold! thank you for posting this! I was about to get the retrotink 4k but I want to use my pioneer Elite plasma instead for all my 240p to 1080p gaming instead
Their grille feature's really damn close to a CRT-ass CRT. The only thing left is to somehow bump the total brightness up, but I'm not sure you could do it w/o something like HDR support.
For me it is far better to ad distrortion, like JPG compression shader + Power VR shader in Reshade makes it look even better than skanlines on 4K monitor. Because scanlines become like those black lines you see and you can't see compression.
I have a quick question maybe some of you can answer. I’m playing on a modded og xbox on a crt pc monitor. Sega games and nes/snes look amazing on it but why do they look better with a scanline filter which I’m assuming just adds extra scanlines?
@@laserfights yeah that makes sense. Think it also might be because I’m using an hdmi cord that a company made for the og xbox and a vga adapter. The whole digital to analog signal thing? All the games are set to 480p.
I have everything at default except for scanlines, which are set on aperture grille. As far as adjusting the image, I just compare it with my CRT and tweak until I think it looks good. I don't have any permanent settings for it, as some games looks better with different settings. My biggest tip would be to try to enable extended color range (or something similar, it'll have a different name depending on your tv / capture card / etc)
are they artificial scan lines? i'm trying to get scart to component for an SD (non-progressive component ports on the back). all the models i find use interpolation, filtering, or some other image destroying implement. the only way to get a true picture would be an RGB mod, but i won't be able to do this. there's a retrotink (just the original), but not sure if it destroys the original image with artificial lines or other things. which one should i get?

So far one of the best video showing the different styles of scanlines! Thanks so much, makes me drool!

there has actually been an update since i posted this, that added a mild gamma boost to compensate for the brightness loss
Just got mine, games back in that era were definately made with CRTs in mind. 2d spritework and dithering 3d games just make sense for filters.
Dude your personality, amateur-ish, winging it videos crack me up to no end, keep it dude!
This whole demo is composite video on the ps1? Looks really good man
Great vid man
thank you :)
It makes no sense how just added a bunch of sub-divisions to square pixels makes it more legible
i love it when the magic squares trick my brain

ill have to experiment with that, thanks

the scanlines filter would make the crt monitor look more like a crt tv, which those games were built for

Retro Tink or any other similar box isn't even 20% there in accurately emulating scanlines/CRT/Slot Mask but it's a good start.
What are your settings for each option that can be tweaked as it looks very good. I'd like to replicate it

@@laserfights thanks for your help
@@laserfights what inputs are you using?
@@krelian0531 this video uses composite

is there a way to do scanlines not on a crt without them being artificial?
@@laserfights what do you think about hdmi Scanline Generators? 🤔
