Another challenge is having enough GPU horsepower to run complex shaders.

The 16-yo ATI Radeon 2600 XT in my emulation machine is good enough for the average shaders I use for arcades ("crt-caligari") or consoles ("crt-easymode"), but not for shader stacks or very complex shaders.

I ended up using crt-easymode" with just a few changed parameters (see alt text), and even that consumes above 80% of the poor GPU's shader engine.

3/4 🧵
