Shaders not working

OroMishi

Hello
Are the shaders disabeled on batocera ? Cuz i activated them and in recalbox.conf also says the option is active (scanlines) but its not, is this a bug ?

nadenislamarre

can you tell more about what you do : batocera version ? emulator ?

nadenislamarre It's 5.5 2017/03/18
I run Batocera from a flash memory and i use one of my hdd's as storage for games

I activated Scanlines from
Main Menu > Games Settings > Shaders Set
But when i open a game i dont see the effect there

For me (5.6@OdroidC2) the shaders are also not running. I even cant find them on the system!! In older versions I could change them by pressing the Hot-Key, but in version 5.6 nothing happens.

And a look on the SD-Card shows no shaders... Could you tell me in wich path they are?

FoxBob79

Forget what I have written!! The shaders work!! :-) It was a problem with my BT-Controller...

OroMishi

FoxBob79 can you tell me what you did exactly and how u enable them from the controller plz? I have same problem i cant find them on the system, the shaders folder isn't there

FoxBob79

I havent found the shader folder, but if I press the "Hot-Button" on my Xbox-USB-Controller I can jump thru 61 different shaders. The place of this shaders is a miracle to me...

PS: What is "the best shader" for PSX on OdroidC2?? I am using 4xbrz but the quality is very low... Or is there a chance for upscaling??

luizthiago

in my raspberry Pi 3, the shaders on the PSX core is trash ....the quality is very low too, and , if i select any shader to use, the performance decrease as Very Slowly ..... 🙁

FoxBob79

With the Xbox-USB-Controller I have the chance to enter the libretro-menu by pressing "Hot-Button"+"A". In the retroarch-menu I can change a lot and increase the quality, but till now I have no chance to save this settings. I will try to get an optimized setting for the odroidC2 and PSX.

If that is done, it would be fine if we could share this setting in the forum! :-) So everyone could download and copy them on his own SBC...

pillemats

can i change the shader in game ? with the hotbutton ?

i think that something is broken about shader, i'll try to fix for the next update

@nadenislamarre i can confirm shaders are not applied with RetroArch on the latest Stable/Beta x86_x64 Batocera
You can easily check, choose shaders like the Pi3 version but when you apply, nothing is applied.
Even the "home" settings (Scanlines/Retro) are not applied by batocera

Can you check that? A lot of Games without Scanlines are ugly

Are you in vacation? If yes, good vacation mate 🙂

nadenislamarre

@Pho3nX hi.
i've to really fix that point.
but i'll release 5.7 before.
i'm testing it on my rpi3 to validate it and that should be ok.
I've changed home. it's a lot of work ; less time for batocera for the moment the time i do some personnal tasks.
but i'm back soon. My internet connection is back.

i found the cause of the shaders not working.
shaders are opengl programs that rework the video output.
in the x86 version, the video driver is set to sdl2 because when i set it to gl, retroarch crashes.
in the sdl2 video driver, the function set_shader just return it's not implemented.
so in other word, for the moment it doesn't work in x86 arch.
and in other word, i've to fix the gl output to make it work normally
