Classic CRT Collection - Overlay Pack (Work in Progress)

[Rion]

Nice work @TreyM !

It would also be a good idea to post these ln the official libretro forums in the Overlays category here

Ps. Would it be possible to make a request for overlays without the backgrounds?

[TreyM]

@Rion I mean I can make them without the backgrounds, but it will probably look odd, since they are real photos that are lit in a certain way.

@wmarcio I can't find an image high enough resolution for that particular model to work with. Would this work instead?

[Rion]

@TreyM I have one more request if you don't mind.

Over at the libretro forums Jubinko created a Overlay effect to mimic the glass on a crt screen.

You can see the results here

He also created the glass effect as a template in 1080p

Would you think about incorporate these in you Overlays?

[TreyM]

@Rion I'm already doing my own solution to mimic glass, but I'll take a look at his.

[TreyM]

@wmarcio How's this?

[TreyM]

@Rion I have now changed over to the glass method in the link you provided.

[NecroPoster]

Oh wow, these are very well made. Really like the glass effect you used. Always wanted something akin to the Realistic Arcade Bezels but for the home television.

sidenote: are you the guy who made the film enb for fallout?

[TreyM]

@NecroPoster I am indeed. Did the avatar or the name give it away?

Edit: On a side note, I was just playing super Mario Kart with the 1084S overlay when suddenly my brain was like... WAIT A MINUTE!

Apparently, we had one of these when I was a kid and I played SNES to death on it, and using the overlay jogged my memory from 8 years old. It was such a lovely experience to suddenly remember that.

@TreyM hi, sorry for the late, i am busy until now...

Excellent, very thanks for your work and dedication.

Now we can download the updated files?

[NecroPoster]

@TreyM was just modding fallout and your name just seemed familiar :P.

also what's the width and height used in the philips tv?

[TreyM]

@NecroPoster Same as the others. It adds a pillar box on the sides like a real widescreen setup properly for 4:3 content should.

@wmarcio yes the files have all been updated on GitHub.

[wmarcio]

@TreyM tanks, i se now.
I am arrived from work now, i will eat and test your great work.

[TreyM]

@wmarcio Please let me know your thoughts after using them. :)

[Rion]

@TreyM Thank you!

This post is deleted!

[wmarcio]

I am feeling with 11 years old now, many thxs for work.

[TreyM]

Wow that's actually really effective. If you don't notice your current TV's bezel, it just looks like you're taking a pic of a Phillips TV! (Though the reflection of your ceiling light gives it away. :P)

Another completed:

I'm not 100% certain what this TV is, but I'm assuming it's a Sharp rebrand for JCPenny, which is a clothing department store in the US. I say that it's a Sharp TV because it has that front clear panel on it like the Sharp Famicom C1 does.

This overlay has 3 options; No Glare, Clean, and Scratched (shown above.)

[wmarcio]

@TreyM
Yes, I noticed this effect, yes, very cool.
I sent these pictures to some friends, and they asked me where I bought this TV...

[JesseBlue]

@TreyM: That´s certainly some kind of rebrand. I had the same TV back in the 80s and we don´t have JCP in europe. :)

Looks great! Where did you find the image? I´d love to use it for my own overlay project.
