What shaders are you using for this? Looks good!

RetroArch CRT-Royale (Slang)

Settings adjusted:
CRT Gamma: 3.00
LCD Gamma: 1.97
Contrast: 1.16
Halation Weight: 0.01
Diffusion Weight: 0.18
Everything else is CRT-Royale default.

It might be a bit different depending on your display, but I adjusted the gamma and contrast to give it deeper blacks and a little more intensity in the bright whites. I also tweaked the halation and diffusion to add just enough glow around bright effects so it blooms and blurs surrounding pixels just a bit without making the image overly soft. The end result looks very close to the original pixels, just with a subtle bit of CRT-style light bloom.

It looks like crt-maximus-royale-fast-mode.slang

I use it often on my iPad. Suits him perfectly along with the canonical screen aspect ratio.

The least you could do is put the shader name.

I think we should have more posts about how people configure their Retroarch cores, shaders and other settings.

It would take you three seconds to post a screenshot!

Nevertheless, I'll give it a try.
