Adding a .png border to a .cgp?

[final_87]

I’ve been using integer scale and overlay borders since ever but I noticed some performance speed up when overlay is disabled. So I was wondering if I could add the 1080p overlay border to my .cgp I could get the same performance of when there is no border. It makes sense?

If anyone could help me out here’s the .cgp I wish to add the border:

You would need to add these lines to the cgp and then add the border image to the same directory as your preset: shader7 = …borders/resources/imgborder-1080p.cg

textures = bg
bg = border-1080p.png

You’ll also want to set a 4x scale for shader6, like this: scale_type6 = source scale6 = “4.0”

Thank for the help but it gave me a strange arctifact:

Integer Scale: OFF AR: : 16:9

Here’s I what I want it look like: Integer Scale ON AR: Core Provided

[hunterk]

No problems here:

You want to make sure you set the aspect ratio to 16:9 and disable integer scaling (the shader handles the integer scale and needs the full 16:9 canvas to work with).
