Are there any emulators that accurately simulate the CRT appearance instead of just drawing the pixels straight to the window? This could be done performantly with a GPU shader. (I recall some emulators having an aesthetic scanline effect you can enable, but that's not the same thing.)



The last time I looked there were several shaders available for this. CRT-Royale[1] was excellent when I tried it.

Yeah, that's it! And wow, that photo-real screenshot of Super Metroid briefly teleported me back in time 27 years.

It was a painful experience! I don't recommend it.
