dosbox-staging VS glsl-shaders

DOSBox Staging has the best CRT emulation I've seen. It really feels like going back to a VGA monitor.

See the screenshots on https://dosbox-staging.github.io/

https://dosbox-staging.github.io/ Latest Staging version is 0.80.

Anyhow whioch dosbox? Well there were non release version somewhere on t he stage but it got fairly bad and https://dosbox-staging.github.io/ is probbaly a better choice.

You may also want to consider alternatives, such as DOSBox Staging, DOSBox Enhanced Community Edition, or DOSBox-X.. or if you're looking for a more user friendly experience, you can also try the eDuke32, Raze, or JFDuke3D community ports instead of messing around with DOS settings. Hope this helps!

Any crashes and freezes you experience -> please report them in the bug tracker: https://github.com/dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging/issues

In DOSBox Staging you can type imgmount /? and it will show you some usage examples, including the one with multiple floppies :).

The version of DOSbox the above games come with is very old, so you may want to look into something like https://dosbox-staging.github.io/, which will run those games much better on newer hardware.

Lo puedes jugar emulando DOS en DOSBox (recomiendo el "fork" DOSBox Staging) o a través de un source port llamado Commander Genius, que es más fácil de usar y tiene algunas facilidades para la modernidad.

Those are the Cg shaders. I think the mini/classics use the glsl shaders, which are located at: https://github.com/libretro/glsl-shaders

I'm trying to get this same scaling setup into MPV to use with video. I have everything setup perfect except the nearest-neighbor prescale, and the original retroarch glsl shader(https://github.com/libretro/glsl-shaders/blob/master/interpolation/shaders/sharp-bilinear.glsl) doesn't work in MPV. Anyone have any ideas?

Are you talkiing about this CRT Royale shader? If so, it comes from the Libretro project, not ReShade, and it's available in standard GLSL format here: https://github.com/libretro/glsl-shaders/tree/master/crt

There is a zip file at this place for a lot of glsl shaders https://github.com/libretro/glsl-shaders

If you use picom as a compositor you can write glsl shaders, there is some work being done twords doing full out CRT emulation at a desktop rendering level, I found the repo below[1], but on my monitor the shader does this distortion at the bottom so I think it could be improved slightly. I'd really like to see someone get the glsl shaders from libretro[2] working with picom.(which the project in OP did) if any GL wizards reading this have any advice I'd be eternally greatful

I've had this memcard file since the good ol' ePSXe days, hence the disparity in the player name at some point. I thought recording a video made more sense than a bunch of screenshots. I am using the crtsim shader preset for RetroArch if anyone's interested, has a nice subpixel matrix effect and brief phosphor image retention
