Deezdrama Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 My old hdd I put together years ago had an old mame setup I did years back before these hlsl shaders. I decided to compile a new hyperspin drive and sofar have mame .167 and several other systems all setup and running good. By default there is a hlsl setting on mame and all my systems and it really blows my old setup out of the water but now have some questions. Im running mameuifx through hyperspin/rocketlaunch. Anyone know how to test out different hlsl/glsl shader settings? Is it done in rocketlauncher or in mames ini or config files only? Also....somehow on my old drive I have mame running full 16:9 which has grown on me but cannot figure out how to set this on my new setup. Any help is appreciated!
gigapig Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 All that can be done in the ini files found in the Mame ini folder or in mameuifx itself but anything you change there will only be written to the mame.ini if you have others as well. I have around 6 ini files, a mame.ini which has my hlsl settings but I don't use it. The others, vertical.ini and horizontal.ini (yes spelled correctly) have settings for GLSL which I prefer. The latest builds have different quality shaders but I mainly use CRT-geom HQ and CRT-geom HQ very. All setting can be changed in the ini, you just add the one you want and switch it on. Then you need to configured RLUI to read the ini files, oh and don't forget to set the correct video mode in the ini. For more info click on the pig below and watch my glsl video guide.
gigapig Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 BTW, the other ini files are game specific for Darius and Warrior Blade which is a dual screen game. Those two required some tweaks to the shader to remove the curve. Your wide-screen question can be sorted in the ini probably under the video section, wide stretch or something. I keep mine in the original aspect because I use bezels.
Deezdrama Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 Im pretty happy with the basic default hlsl shader thats running with mameiufx .167..... It looks way better than the no shaders mame version im running on my cab at the moment (replacing with the drive im working on) Are your shaders a big improvement?
gigapig Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 I can't tell you that, you would have see for your self as people want different looks. If prefer a straight from the factory look others like a nicotine covered burnt in blur, lol.
Deezdrama Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 I want to try them but never messed with these settings before. Do I just edit the ini file with your settings making a backup first? How do I set it in RL afterwards? Ill just check out your vid tomorrow. Need sleep tonight....been editing a dozen systems input files for retroarch allday and cant see straight lol
jcm9800 Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 i prefer the hlsl ini settings from metalozic the looks for my personal feelings nearest to the real arcades but like giga said try some out for yourself griffin have inis too [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
gigapig Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Here are the relevant sections of my vertical.ini, highlighting what's important to change. Setting openGL as the video mode will override any HLSL settings you have and if you have HLSL switched on. # # OSD VIDEO OPTIONS # video opengl numscreens 1 window 1 maximize 0 keepaspect 1 unevenstretch 1 waitvsync 1 This is the GLSL section. The red highlight switches it on, the green highlight is the shader you are using from the glsl folder. If you wish to use a different one just copy and paste the name in. # # OpenGL-SPECIFIC OPTIONS # glslpath glsl gl_forcepow2texture 0 gl_notexturerect 0 gl_vbo 1 gl_pbo 1 gl_glsl 1 gl_glsl_filter 1 gl_glsl_sync 0 glsl_shader_mame0 "CRT Geom HQ Vertical" glsl_shader_mame1 none glsl_shader_mame2 none glsl_shader_mame3 none glsl_shader_mame4 none glsl_shader_mame5 none glsl_shader_mame6 none glsl_shader_mame7 none glsl_shader_mame8 none glsl_shader_mame9 none glsl_shader_screen0 none glsl_shader_screen1 none glsl_shader_screen2 none glsl_shader_screen3 none glsl_shader_screen4 none glsl_shader_screen5 none glsl_shader_screen6 none glsl_shader_screen7 none glsl_shader_screen8 none glsl_shader_screen9 none Here is how I have things set in RLUI highlighting the areas of interest for you. And the files I have in my ini folder.
