Can't get default shader to apply in all/retroarch.cfg

RetroArch Additions Shaders
#1

Hi All,

Im trying to apply a shader to default across all emulators, editing the relevant following lines in …/configs/all/retroarch.cfg

Smoothens picture with bilinear filtering. Should be disabled if using pixel shaders.

video_smooth = false

Path to shader. Shader can be either Cg, CGP (Cg preset) or GLSL, GLSLP (GLSL preset)

video_shader = “/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/shader/phosphor.glslp”

Load video_shader on startup.

Other shaders can still be loaded later in runtime.

video_shader_enable = true

Defines a directory where shaders (Cg, CGP, GLSL) are kept for easy access.

video_shader_dir = /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/shader/

But, it won’t apply the shader when I load up any games (trying snes and nes at the moment). I can manually choose the shader via the hotkeys…any help on getting my config to apply?

Thanks,

Adding quotes to video_shader_dir seemed to fix it…

Which is great!..but now I can’t manually use hotkeys to click through other shaders, not the end of the world as I want to choose one and stick to it for the most part for all consoles. It would be handy while working out my favourite though :slight_smile:
