Classic PS1 Overlays for Duckstation

View File

---

What I have here is a small collection of Duckstation overlays/bezels that I find appealing to look at while playing my PS1 games.

Place all files inside your overlays folder and they should show up in your overlays selection in the "post-processing" section in the Duckstation settings.

All credit for the "PS1_Overlay" should go to the original creator of the overlay, Fercho. Thanks to him I was able to use his animated overlay he created for the Retroarch and make a static image for this overlay.

This is his original animated overlay for the PS1 - Retroarch: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/3477-playstation-1-animated-overlay-for-retroarch/

FYI, I personally am using this overlay with the "ntsc/ntsc-adaptive-lite" and "CRTLottes2" shaders and it looks amazing with those two and fits perfectly.

The "PSonereflections" image I got from Retroarch's overlays and created the .yml file needed by Duckstation to use.

The other two I found on a reddit post by "danytyler" and created the .yml file for both of those as well. 

I take no credit for actually making the .png files, I only want to share these overlays for the people using the Duckstation emulator since there are very few pre-made overlays for the platform.

I personally think the "ntsc/ntsc-adaptive-lite" shader looks best with all three overlays because it adds the fuzzy glow old CRT TVs use to produce, but if your going to add a CRT shader that adds scanlines to it, I would go with the "dolphinfx/crt/CRT-Hyllian" for the "PSonereflections" overlay. As for the other two, the "CRT-NewPixie" or "CRTLottes2" adds a curvature to better fit both of those overlays. These are just my personal suggestions and they are pre-installed into Duckstation when you download it.

Enjoy!
