CRT Effect Using SweetFX in MAME??
« on: August 09, 2013, 05:40:01 pm »
I am trying to get the following looking in mame via sweetfx....



Does anyone have any setting for this, as im guessing Mame cant use shaders like the RetroArch emulator?

I have not used it much but I think the HLSL settings in MAME can obtain that look (which you likely already know).

There is a modded post.fx that can do this.

Hlsl can curve the edges too as well as add scanlines and generate the old CRT effect, just google it, you will find a world of info about it

Yeah i understand that HLSL can do the scanlines and the screen curve effect but it was the CRT corners that i was after.

As suggested i have found the modded post.fx file.....



Just wish it has the fade effect on the edges of the crt
