The mechanism, not the look

Each fault is modelled from the way the device actually fails, not from how the failure looks. A magnet warps the convergence of a CRT, a stuck driver freezes an LCD, a bad link corrupts the signal, and a copy of a copy loses detail.

Four devices and where they bite

Magnet, Driver Fault, Link Fault and Generation Loss are the four devices. Apply To chooses whether the fault hits the whole image, the edges, or the flat areas. Dead Channel can take out one colour altogether.

Every option, from the app

Generated from the registry the app publishes, so this list is whatever the current build actually ships — not a copy of it.

  • AnalogVHS and NTSC broadcast artefacts, simulated from the format rather than from a look.
  • Signal BreakA fully broken transmission: sync tears, dropouts, ghosts and snow.
  • Scan GlitchA broadcast-error band that slips sideways and tears, with channel splits and noise rows.
