In Ghostty compiled to WASM with xterm.js API compatibilityReminds me about https://github.com/mausimus/ShaderGlass it's pretty fun to use with emulators.
In The Peach meme: On CRTs, pixels and signal quality (again)This is a fun project - https://github.com/mausimus/ShaderGlass
In Dosbian: Boot to DOSBox on Raspberry PiHave a look at https://github.com/mausimus/ShaderGlass it seems promising an emulating the CRT. I don't run windows so have not testet it myself.
In People Who Hunt Down Old TVsShaderGlass lets you run GPU shaders over any window
