PS1/PSX PostProcessing

Usage:

1.  Set up the scene as follows:
   SubViewportContainer -> SubViewport -> Spatial
where Spatial is your 3D scene.
2. In the SubViewportContainer  add a new ShaderMaterial
3. In the ShaderMaterial add a new Shader
4. Copy the script below into the Shader-Editor.

Documentation

• enabled: Easy option to switch off the shader.
• dither_size: Defines the pixel size that is used for dithering
• dithering: Use the dithering pattern.
• colors: Amount of colors that will be used.

Hint

This shader is written for Godot 4.
