CRT Shader on Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500

Hi, i have a Lenovo ThinkCenter M58 (Type 7359) with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5Ghz, 4Gbyte Ram, and Intel GMA 4500 (4th generation Intel integrated GMA). Lakka (r21174) works great without shader, There are specific CRT shaders for Intel GMA or work all so terrible? Unfortunately I do not have a CRT TV and the ThinkCentre not equipped with TV outputs.

it is better to buy a Raspberry with S-Video and play on a CRT monitor rather than using the ThinkCenter with an LCD?

Try the DRM/KMS build here: http://libretro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3143

As far as I know, you need HD4000 or better integrated graphics for any of the CRT shaders to get full speed at 1080p, though crt-hyllian-fast and crt-easymode are the most likely to work. Simple scanlines are probably your best bet after that.

RPi’s analog video to CRT can’t run at native resolution (it’s always 480-interlaced), and it’s composite rather than s-video, so it’s not that great, either.

nothing to do, maybe a little bit better, but unplayable. all tests were performed with Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (World 930201), and all CRT preset GLSL Shader

Tnx for info! The problem is that many post-2008 mini PCs have a PCI slot and no one PCI-E or AGP. To my surprise the Zotac has produced a PCI video card (not PCI-Express) Nvidia Geforce GT610 (model: ZT-60604-10L and model: ZT-60606-10L). Obviously, the GT 610 Zotac is low-profile with passive cooling.

I bought a ZOTAC ZT-60604-10L yesterday on Amazon to resolve this problem and use my Lenovo ThinkCenter M58 (Type 7359). Being a video card 6xx series, there should be no problems with OpenELEC Nvidia Video Drivers (i don’t need nVidia_Legacy build).

i have try DRM/KMS build with nvidia 610 PCI and i have get black screen :confused: With X version run fine.

Getting a black screen with the shaders or all the time? Which driver? DRM/KMS only works with nouveau, not with the nvidia binary driver.

You’re right, I have not given you all the information :slight_smile: Forgive me, I do not speak English very well, if you do not understand something insult me well :slight_smile:

Lakka Xorg: r21174 http://sources.lakka.tv/nightly/Generic.x86_64/Lakka-Generic.x86_64-devel-20150928011843-r21174-ga11c890.img.gz (works - but new version of sharder, downloaded via retroArch sharder update, glsl version, laggy especially CRT-geom) Lakka DRM/KMS: r21175 http://static.kivutar.me/Lakka-Generic.x86_64-devel-20150929235257-r21175-gba5c201.img.gz (i can install normally but after reboot i can see loading logo, after that blackscreen. System works, i can login over ssh, and i can kill retroarch via systemctl stop retroarch)

The problem is: As I understand it, OpenELEC (Lakka is based on OpenELEC) have build in nvidia proprietary driver (this is very good!), and this driver not support DRM/KMS mode (this is very bad!), only open driver support DRM/KMS mode like intel, nouveau, ecc. Solution: Lakka DRM/KMS on my system never works, because OpenELEC have build in nvidia proprietary driver. Only X version of Lakka works. If you’re lucky to have a video card Intel really powerful, lakka is good solution, but if it continues to be based on OpenELEC, xorg is the only solution. I do not know if you can install the nouveau driver, on OpenELEC, I have not found information.
