It's very good and light on system resources when playing on a laptop or something. Saying that though, i like using the ZFast filter from Retroarch.
SHANTAE SPRITES PIRATE CURSE TV
Originally posted by Cool 4 Cats:As this game was never meant to be played on TV screens (unless you were one of those few people who used the Nintendo 64 converter thingy), it doesn't seem right to use a CRT filter. In my mind Lottes with tweaks and other filters is the clear winner. With only Advanced CRT enabled the look is good but still has a bit of pixelation to it. It also distorts pixels on corners and angles, but it does not garble text. LumaSharpen looks awful without Gaussian Blur, and when used together with Advanced CRT it really makes for a very soft image with very large scanlines.
SHANTAE SPRITES PIRATE CURSE MOD
The mod by v00d00m4n looks good, but it has some drawbacks.
SHANTAE SPRITES PIRATE CURSE FULL
It blends well on full 1.0 amount with tweaks to brightness, gamma, and intensity, but sadly it totally mauls the pixels and garbles text. Overall, you might like the Yeetron style, but the Trinitrons I had never looked like this, and I think it kills detail and looks garish.Īdvanced CRT in itself isn't too bad, but it's hard to dial in the settings without distorting the pixels. It's what the mod is going for as well, but the mod seeks to soften this style. Yeetron is default, and goes for that really sharp scanline look that I really don't like all that much. Lottes has a very fine grille if you choose, and it offers a decent amount of tweaks in settings.Īdding a touch of Gaussian Blur to the tweaks really honed in on the correct softness I needed, and Tonemap provided final gamma adjustment. I usually use aperture grille CRT filters like CRT Easy Mode, which is fairly close to this but with more options. You can see it does the high-res art almost perfectly. The pixels seem mostly unaffected by the shader and nicely blended other than a few lost highlights, which definitely change a shade of color in the spectrum now and then. I turned off the TV screen distortion in settings, so if you want that you can have it.
Lottes looks really accurate and resolute. So to give an overview of results, I think it's best to focus on how these compare to better CRT filters out there available in Retroarch, like CRT Easy Mode or Royale. MOD Advanced CRT + Gaussian Blur + LumaSharpen: Īdvanced CRT 1.0 Amount PAUSE SCREEN TEXT: Lottes Only: Tweaks to shadow mask, horizontal scan blur, and scanline thinness no warp: Here are the comparisons:īest IMO: Lottes Tweaks + Gaussian Blur + Tonemap: For a CRT shader, there are few better out there outside of Royale or CRT Easy Mode, and it's very easy to set up through Reshade. Lottes by far is the best and most aperture grille-like of the mods, and it looks great with high-res art as well. But it's basically like for like between the two. This is actually from the second game, Risky's Revenge, as that is the only game the forum member's older Reshade mod version works on. This is a comparison of options you have for CRT shaders in these two Shantae games. Newer comparison with more polished Lottes:
