This thread is too sexy. Awesome pics zmet and TeaJay!
Still not great, off-screen grabs of my Japanese Saturn running through the OSSC to my Asus monitor...

and Virtua Fighter 2:
It definitely looks way sharper and vivid, in person, but at least I hope it gives you an idea of how great scanlines look on there, even at full-HD resolutions.

Nice VF2/DOA1 shots. There's something magical about scanlines and low res 3D. Emulators that can render at higher resolution can look good and even great for solid color poly visuals, but the low res textured stuff demands the native resolution look to mesh well with the limit of that detail level.
100% agree with you, sir.
From last night, snippets of my Sonic playthrough:
And, yeah... Even though that last zone destroyed me (gosh, so many years have passed since last time...), I still managed to grab all the emeralds and get this:

Jesus, it might be time for me to invest in an OSSC. I'd use that for all my streams, for sure.
You must look beyond the lions, Luke!
I'll keep posting pics, as soon as I try new systems. ^_-

That's quite good, what shader is it?
Took a short video during my last play with my Sega Astro City that is going to a new owner come Saturday.
Check out those thick scanlines.

Just tweaked Mame HLSL.
In a few months i'll probably finally grab a proper cabinet with CRT. Until then, this makes the games look somewhat the way i remembered them.
I'm quite uneducated on this topic, but doesn't it heavily depend on the TV? I've seen consumer CRTs that didn't display proper scanlines even on 240p contents.
I'd swear those pics look extremely close to how I used to see stuff like VF2 and DoA on my Trinitrons.
Depends on the CRT. You'd get alternating scanlines which are still quite visible as rapidly changing shimmery lines on many CRTs. And if you used a sufficiently fast shutter speed your camera would capture the odd or even set of 240 lines. One of my CRTs is nice in that 480i looks like like progressive scan (480p). No flicker and very nice for 480i N64, PS2 and GC.
Yeah, CRTs with lower TVL and shadowmask (vs aperture grille) tend to have faint or nonexistent visible lines. I have some pics in this old post:

If I had a dick this thread would be making it rock hard.
As a proud owner of a dick, I can confirm this thread has been making it rock hard for some time
Isnt it possible to describe an equivalent reaction for those without a dick? Anyways, mine is definitely getting rock hard every time i enter this thread.

Read Only Memories on a Sony PVM-20L2:
So cool! How do you have this set up?
PC to Sony PVM via VGA-BNC cable and Calamity's custom Radeon CRT drivers outputting 15khz resolutions.
Read Only Memories looks best at 320x240 for some reason, despite being a widescreen game.
I'll upload some Shovel Knight pics soon

Looks great, I have a question if you don't mind about your set up. Do you know if its possible to have two separate video cards while using the custom CRT Drivers on one of them? I yanked a compatible card from an old computer into my new PC, and I wasn't able to get my PVM hooked up through the Radeon, and my LCD hooked up to my 1070 at the same time and it really bummed me out.
Yeah you can have both installed at the same time, I've used this set up a few times with Nvidia and Radeon. I think you need to keep the LCD at its native resolution though. Then you can set everything up on the LCD and send low res stuff to the CRT

Which PVM model do you have? And could you please provide more detail? Does it work well for emulation?

just got a RGB modded nes here's some shots over BVM =)
PVM-20L2 - 2002 model
It works perfectly for emulation.
Not sure I can link here, but if you google CRT emu drivers you'll find the custom radeon drivers and you can use Groovy MAME which is a custom build of MAME designed for CRTs to emulate most 16 bit computers. Retroarch also works well, especially for 32 bit consoles. With the CRT emu drivers you can get perfect screen centering for almost everything, there is slightly more input lag than on the original hardware, but I can't tell any difference personally.
You can use all this software with any CRT that has RGB input, so if you live in Europe you can grab any old TV for peanuts and use this setup

just beat life force and took some random shots:

I was playing around with retroarch and shaders the other night. I wish I had labeled which image was which, but I think this one came out the best.
Other random tests. They are all from 1440p resolution. Trying to find a really good retroarch shader setting. They all unfortunately come out so dark.
