OSSC - mod to allow CRT mask emulation. Anyone tried?

Hi,

There is new OSSC hardware v1.8 and this has firmware which allows for CRT mask emulation.

Now on the MiSTer you can add CRT mask filters and I think they look good.

If you have an older OSSC pcb then you can do a hardware mod and then also use CRT mask emulation. Mod is here:

Now has anyone done this? And is it really good?
(I see the link above now has a video showing the mask in action, as previously I've not found any footage of what it actually looks like, so I will watch it later).

On my OSSC the heatsink is so large it overhangs the pins, so I would have to heat up the heat sink to soften/break glue to remove it. So I was not so keen.
I bought my OSSC more for the future, as I've currently got loads of CRTs and had a bit of spare money and wanted to futureproof my display options. So I've not extensively used it.

I only use it with my ST currently, so the less noise the better
Looks interesting though

Cool. Whats next? Phosphor variable persistence emulation? (That would be ideal for the Amigas interlace modes).
