Greetings,
I never really delved into the world of shaders, until recently. I watched an excellent video over at the Phil's Computer Lab youtube channel concerning a really good shader for Dosbox Staging. I then discovered that 86box supports certain types of shaders. Unfortunately, I get black screens when trying to use Dosbox Staging shaders with 86box.
I am using a 4k freesync TV for my display. Can anyone recommend a really good VGA/SVGA monitor shader for use with dosbox? I tried a few random shaders and while I have seen a couple of "decent" shaders, none of them look as good as the ones used in Dosbox Staging. The resolutions I use are VGA and textmode, going up to 1024x768 (though going that high is actually uncommon for me when using 86box, hovering around 640x480 or 800x600 in Windows 3.x and 9x.)
I was recently corrected about the difference between mini and micro LED, and have read that micro LED may get us a bit closer. I also read that CRT emulation via shaders may become easier when using 8k displays, but I don't see myself getting an 8k display anytime soon. Hopefully, someday, we can get laser-on-phosphor or some other tech which can better resemble the beloved CRT, but until then, shaders (or suffering with super-sharp fixed pixels with no bloom/color bleed) it is...
Many thanks!
