What Vice display settings do you use?

I'm trying to use some youtube videos of RH C64 recordings to "calibrate" my Vice 3.4 display settings.

This seems reasonable:
VIC-II : Double scan, no double size, CRT emulation, CCS64 palette

CRT: Brightness 649
Contrast: 1138
Saturation: 968
Tint: 851
Gamma: 2681
Blur: 500
Scanline shade: 670
Oddline phase: 1032
Oddline offset: 979

I know this is filtered by my monitor settings, so hard to compare with others, but I would appreciate it if you could post your settings. I can then use these as a starting point and see if I can get better settings on my setup by varying the parameters a bit.

Colors that are particularly hard to get right are: light blue, orange, red, and purple.

Not using an external Palette is the first step to get the colors right =P

Mind you, all VICII revisions produce slightly different colors too - and recent VICE builds reflect this as well.

CCS64?! I would recommend Pepto, or his newer one Colodore. https://www.colodore.com

yes, if you use default settings (no external palette) you pretty much get the colodore colors :)

Seems resonable consider it's the most accurate and scientific approach to palette generation and CRT-filtering so far. :)

Did you implement the full Colodore postprocessing in VICE btw?

No, not yet. I was about to work something out with pepto, but some unfortunate events on his side prevented that. It's on the todo list :)

We arent quite there yet to do it in shaders... There will be a final Software based version, and then maybe we can do it in shaders :)

Aha ok!! I could swear I’ve seen shaders for the current crt-pal-emulation. Must have been dreaming. :)

CCS palette went by accident. I was changing the palette around and forgot it was set to CCS. I then played around with the settings until it looked okay-ish.

But can anyone give me some recommendation for the settings for any palette that you are happening to use?
