newoski Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hi Guys, Any tips for getting SweetFX working with Demul 5.8.2? I'm on Windows 7. I'm using GigaPig's CRT settings, which look great, I just can't get them to show up with Demul 5.8.2. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoodidabop Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Use ReShade. They changed the renderer in 5.8.2 so the old SweetFx doesn't work anymore. Choose DX10/11 in the ReShade settings. Works like a charm! http://reshade.me/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoodidabop Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Hmm I think I just turned off all internal shaders in Demul 5.8.2 and used Direct3D 10/11 in Mediator. Worked on the first try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffin518 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Any chance someone could point me to a how-to for ReShard w/DEmul? I'm having a hard time getting it working (never used SweetFX). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalzoic Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 First I've ever even heard of Reshade so I'm curious too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So which do you want to use? I tried Reshade with a couple of systems and the results were pretty bad, there was some nasty colour banding. However I've not delved into it very deeply only the Sweetfx side. Sweetfx however is a little easier to use but gives varied results if using bezels.

I thought I had read that Sweetfx wouldn't work with it, but ReShade would. Just something else to play around with, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapig Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I just remembered I can't test it because my 770 GPU has gone back to MSI and Demul 0.7a seems only to have the DX11 plugin. Here's what I know anyway. When you start up the Reshade Mediator it probably asks for you to point to the program you want to Shade. Once done it will try to guess which API it's using and with Demul it may guess at DX9 but you can change it to DX10/11. Finish the Wizard. You can click on your shader and here I have up Sweetfx and here you can make adjustments. I think when I added this to Sega Model 2, turning curvature on broke it. Here in the Pipeline I have Advance-CRT and Vignette select. Once you have made you changes I usually click "Apply" and then I go back to the "Setup" tab and click " Permanent Push To Application" You can click the Lazy.net button also and download profiles, but it doesn't help much with Emulators. Let us know how you get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffin518 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 That did the trick... at least partially. I have something I can work off of now, thanks! FYI a new build of DEmul 0.7 was released today. I haven't given it a shot, but thought it was worth mentioning. Fixes quite a few bugs, though none that really affect me.

scoodidabop Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Thanks for the description Giga. Can confirm that curvature does indeed break Sega Model 3. Forgot about vignetting! I should add that. Here's a couple problems I've encountered. First off I can't seem to figure out how to save different settings for different emulators. If I want to add curvature to Demul, for example, I can't because curvature then carries over to Model 3, which breaks it. So hopefully there's a workaround there. Secondly, I've noticed on Demul that the different games run at different resolutions, making the scanlines look good sometimes, while other times they suffer from banding. It's really obtrusive when going from MvC2 (looking good) to Virtua Fighter 4 (looking awful). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Do any shader injectors work with SDL for emulators like Daphne/KAT5200 etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoodidabop Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Giga, Do any shader injectors work with SDL for emulators like Daphne/KAT5200 etc? I think it's just OpenGL and DX in Reshade. I haven't seen any that work with SDL. Running Dragon's Lair HD looks good enough without shaders but some other Daphne titles could use some shader enhancing.
