@finnmckenty finnmckenty released this 18 Jul 22:13

First release of NTSCRT — vintage analog TV / VHS looks for stills and video: ntsc-rs signal emulation into RetroArch CRT shaders (via librashader). All the image magic belongs to those projects; this app glues them together.

Requirements: macOS 14+, Apple Silicon.

Install: download the DMG, open it, drag NTSCRT to Applications. The app is signed and notarized — no security warnings.

What's inside

  • 7 RetroArch CRT presets (crt-royale, crt-hyllian, crt-aperture, crt-easymode, crtglow ×2, crtsim) — frame-identical output to RetroArch
  • Full ntsc-rs VHS stage (composite artifacts, tape noise, head switching, tracking) with its complete settings schema; preset JSON is interchangeable with the ntsc-rs desktop app
  • Pipeline: NTSC at full resolution → downscale → CRT shader
  • Live compare split (processed vs original), integer scaling, animated preview, video playback
  • PNG and MP4 export; save/load complete looks as JSON files
