      Hi all

      After trying a bunch of overlays, and being weirdly obsessed with it, I decided to try making my own little 1080p TV overlay (no scanlines). Normally I keep this stuff to myself, but I liked how it came out:
      alt text
      tv.zip

      Includes:

      • overlay png / cfg
      • instructions for getting stuff to line up just so (in retroarch.cfg file)

      This is my first post, so please let me know if I'm doing it wrong / could do it better.

      Thanks!

        That looks cool. Reminds me of my childhood playing the Atari 2600 at my friends house.

          looks cool, does 8:7 aspect ratio fill the screen or do you have to use 4:3 or core provided

            I personally prefer to force everything into the precise dimensions of the (4:3) viewport: custom aspect, non-integer scaling, plus smoothing to fuzz it up a little. In the rare event that I come across a game that looks distorted, I tweak the settings for just that game.
