- Fixed set_vector functionality and simplified shaders as a result
- Fixed HLSL presets, 0 to 3, in increasing level of terribleness
- Reduced options footprint from RGB triplets
Next plan: Separate INI writing.
- Reworked default shadow mask settings, eliminating rainbow banding and matching reference shots more closely
- Moved color power to occur after shadow mask, as it is intended to simulate nonlinear phosphor response
- Added a variable-width notch filter to the Y channel in NTSC post-processing, eliminating luma banding on e.g. CoCo 2 and Apple II
- Switched to point-sampling through most of the shader chain to avoid non-intentional pixel smearing
- Corrected alignment and scaling on the shadow mask and scanlines; dramatically reduces rainbow banding at non-oversampled resolutions.
- The defocus pass is now switched off when defocus_x and defocus_y are zero, allowing finer-grained performance tuning.
- Removed YIQ convolution from the main color-convolution shader and replaced it with a full composite encode/decode pass. This is slower, but looks amazing(ly like a terrible TV) and can be turned off.
- More authentic NTSC dot crawl and bandwidth limiting.
- Potential fix for some crashing reported by John IV
- Split color convolution and deconvergence into separate shaders for potential GPU savings down the line
- Added light and heavy variants of the color convolution shader, the former with YIQ colorspace removed
- Re-worked defocus to occur prior to shadow mask application, as it would be on a real monitor.
- Removed Edge Detection, as it was just for fun and can easily be added in by users if desired.
- Split "pincushion" into "Pincushion" and "Screen Curvature", the former affecting the only the displayed image and the latter only affecting the shadow mask.
