lilcheeks Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I'm pretty new to the mame scene but just setup a mame cabinet at home. I love seeing the HLSL settings people have posted for previous versions of mame, but I don't see any for the .180. My question is, if I use settings from a previous version, like .174, will they work on my .180 version? If not, does anyone have a good HLSL setting to share? Or a .ini file to share? Thanks!

gigapig Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 You can try your 0.174 settings to see if they work because there was some changes to a recent version but I don't recall at which version it changed. You could also try GLSL which is easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since that was so easy, I tried the GLSL route since my video card supports openGL and is plenty powerful, but I couldn't for the life of me get it to work. I'm using mame64, and tried everything to get it working but I must be doing something wrong. Is anyone aware of any tutorials on enabling opengl and picking a shader?

Someone just informed me that MAME64 does not support GLSL, so they told me to look into BGFX. I'll take their word for it at the moment and do some digging.

I can't find anyone that walks you through getting GLSL going on MAME64. Would you suggest a switch from MAME64 to something like MAMEUI64? I'm using Hyperspin and Rocket launcher, so I don't think the actual MAME UI matters, except when it comes to changing settings. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that it's just 1 or 2 line edits in the mame.ini to get glsl going. Perfect, i'll give that a try. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapig Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Yeah it makes no difference which version you use, just as long as you have thecorrect files and you have set you ini/s up correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffin518 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Some people prefer GLSL, some (myself included) HLSL... it's all up to your personal preference. Here is a link to my ini file set for MAME 0.180 (has custom HLSL settings): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
