ShaderBeam – CRT Beam Emulation Windows App
https://retrorgb.com/shaderbeam-crt-beam-emulation-windows-app.html
You ever miss the way old CRTs smudged motion like a watercolor brush? Meet ShaderBeam—the free, no-install app that turns your modern 120Hz monitor into a time machine for CRT motion clarity.
Developed by the genius behind ShaderGlass, ShaderBeam slaps Blur Buster’s legendary CRT beam emulation right onto your desktop. No fancy hardware needed—just a high-refresh screen and a spare GPU (yes, even your motherboard’s integrated one). Just extract the .zip, run it full-screen, and watch your 60Hz emulator games gain that sweet, smearable motion blur we all secretly loved (and pretended not to miss).
Here’s the kicker: you don’t even need to use it for gaming. Try it while scrolling Twitter or watching YouTube—suddenly, your 4K screen feels alive again. And yes, it’s open source, zero cost, and runs like a ghost app—no installer, no bloat. Just pure nostalgia in a .exe.
Pro tip: Enable your integrated GPU (even if nothing’s plugged into it) for best performance. No dual monitors? Still works. Just read the GitHub docs, tweak settings, and prepare to be weirdly emotional when your pixel-perfect SNES game glows like it’s 1998.
Go on. Download it. Your eyes will thank you.
