CyberLab Death To Pixels Shader Preset Packs

Maybe by 2060 Microsoft will find a way to allow long file names.

First Mars colony to Earth Base… we have encountered long file names… aborting mission.

Hello, perfect match Cyber ​​and Duimon synonymous with Work of Art.

@FinalBoss

Hello, perfect match

I second this wholeheartedly!

@FinalBoss

Cyber ​​and Duimon synonymous with Work of Art.

While I might prefer the TV, monitor or cabinet aesthetic over split console or computer aesthetic over the split system style, I can truly understand and appreciate the importance of preserving and paying homage to all the various machines.

I’ve always appreciated @Duimon’s art and expertise when it comes to getting some of the rarest and most obscure machine emulations to run and it is with great pleasure that I have now found the time to really appreciate and admire his work as you and many others have been doing for quite some time now.

The next step for me is to create a guide to show users how they can achieve this best of both worlds experience at least using the method that I have employed.

I think you have a video where you showed how you integrated CyberLab and Duimon presets as well? I think I’ll also post a link to that video in my upcoming guide if you don’t mind.

Special thanks and shoutout to @HyperspaceMadness, @guest.r and all the other shader developers whose work forms the backbone of our preset development endeavours.

Hello, feel free to post, every day I come here on the forum to see the news. And in RetroArch I can’t even play anymore, when I go to play I see that there were more Shaders, Overlays updates and there I go to play again. By the way, I’m going to test your updates today. Hugs to all of you

Is this shader gonna be updated to 1.8.0? or with the last version is perfectly compatible as it is?

[DreamOnNeon]

I’m just constantly in awe of how your presets can make these games look so incredibly good. This screen alone should be enough to convince people to at least try shaders. I know there are pixel purists out there and all, but I just can’t pass up an oppourtunity to have my games look this good.

@Theoldnation

Please see the above post:

CyberLab Mega Bezel Death To Pixels Shader Preset Pack

These don’t work with BSNES. There are SNES console specific presets that use NTSC Shaders in my pack, they just don’t use Blargg NTSC Filter. Have you tried my latest CyberLab SNES Composite Slot Mask IV OLED Presets in my 4K_Optimized Folder as well as the Le’Sarsh 4K_Optimized versions? I can’t remember if you’re a 4K user or not but there are other options to try and if you see them in the 4K_Optimized folders they might end up in the other folders eventually if it makes sense and when I…

@Theoldnation

Please see the above post with regards to compatibility:

@Cyber

These presets REQUIRE THE LATEST matching HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader version in order to work.

@Cyber

Update 07/09/22

I’ve now updated my CyberLab Mega Bezel Death To Pixels Shader Preset Pack versioning system to semi-sync with HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader versioning based on compatibility.

So if a user is using V1.1.0_xx-xx-xx of my Shader Preset Pack, they know that it’s been updated and tested to be compatible (and look right) with V1.1.0_xx-xx-xx of HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader.

If there’s a new update or feature in HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader that needs the presets to be updated before they will look right again, the versioning of the Shader Preset Pack will also reflect that.

I actually did this to assist users by the way. With that said if you look at my track record, you’ll see that I’ve tried to keep my preset pack up to date with the latest versions of HSM Mega Bezel Reflection, even if it doesn’t benefit any of my presets or even when performance decreases with no meaningful gain in image quality.

Remember HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader was not created for CyberLab Mega Bezel Death To Pixels Shader Preset Pack. It is the other way around and I am not the only user and usage scenario that HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader caters for.

So we’ll have to take a look at the changes and see how they affect CyberLab Mega Bezel Death To Pixels Shader Preset Pack and then see what can be done. I’m truly grateful that @HyperspaceMadness provides older versions in the HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader Repository.

So don’t look at a previous version as “old” or “outdated” just because a shiny new update has come along. Instead you might want to look at them as more stable versions which have been tried and tested and sometimes run better on older/weaker hardware.

None of the screenshots or videos you’ve seen in this thread were created with the current latest version of HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader.

@DreamOnNeon

I’m just constantly in awe of how your presets can make these games look so incredibly good.

Thanks, I feel the same way about the tools that allow me to make these presets as well! Really cutting edge stuff!

@DreamOnNeon

This screen alone should be enough to convince people to at least try shaders. I know there are pixel purists out there and all, but I just can’t pass up an oppourtunity to have my games look this good.

Well you know what they say…every bread has its cheese!

I enjoy the challenge of trying to make games look just as great as they might have looked on original hardware and CRT displays. It’s probably not perfect but to me it’s more than good enough considering how different the hardware that we’re running them on is.

When I get things to looks the way I want, it usually evokes similar feelings as listening to my favourite music or looking at beautiful art that I enjoy.

I’m glad you’re enjoying this journey as much as I am. Thanks again to the shader developers who make this possible!

Don’t forget to adjust the Mask Layout in Shader Parameters to match the subpixel layout of your display!

Hi. What an amazing preset this is! I am blown away by the effect.

We briefly spoke earlier and I will try to describe my question as best as I can. Since my account is new I am only allowed to post a single image, so I made a Imgur page which is linked below.

Hopefully you have a suggestion for me to try and if you have any questions please let me know.

Cheers, and thank you for your amazing work.

Preparations

• Mega Bezel and CyberLab MBDtP are installed and operational.
• All instructions for MB and CyberLab MBDtP have been followed.
• Core: FinalBurn Neo

Goal

The goal is to have video output only, without the bezel and scaled to 100%.

Shader Preset Config

To achieve this I have followed this: https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroArch/comments/ryaae9/comment/hsys965/?context=1

Summary:

• Global Graphics Brightness to 0.
• Int. Scale Mode to 0.
• Non-Integer Scale % to 100.

Saved as an easy preset.

Issue Description

When running horizontal oriented content the goal is achieved perfectly. The bezel is gone and the video is scaled to 100% with the proper aspect.

When running vertical content, the bezel is gone but the output is not scaled.

Examples: https://imgur.com/a/LcBPDha

@arcadebites

Hopefully you have a suggestion for me to try and if you have any questions please let me know.

Graphics Brightness - 0

Rotate CRT Tube - 1

Integer Scale Mode - 0

Non-Integer Scale % - 100

If you would like to use Integer Scale instead:

Integer Scale Mode - 1

Integer Scale Multiple Offset - 1

You can also leave the Integer Scale Offset at 0 and set the Base Integer Scale Max Height % to whatever percentage gives you the screen size you’re looking for.

If using Non-Integer Scale % and 100% is still not large enough for you, you can go all the way up to 200%.

If this doesn’t work for you, you might have to recheck your settings somewhere.

This example uses my CyberLab__Arcade-Sharp__PVM-Edition__ADV.slangp shader preset. Other presets should work the same.

This is on a 4K screen, if using a different resolution you might have to use different offsets or percentages.

@arcadebites

What an amazing preset this is! I am blown away by the effect.

Thanks very much, I’m glad you like it! Couldn’t have done it without the great magic behind the HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader by @HyperspaceMadness which is powered by a host of shaders from @guest.r and several other shader developers though!

@ynnad4

I’m only aware there was just one shader that was capable to make an accurate effect of the Rainbow colorful lines (at least for Sega Genesis Games)

Things have evolved quite a bit since then @ynnad4.

i’m very glad that you’re still around buddy. I appreciate all the references you have made to me. I will try to get up to date with the content. Always awesome to see you updating your presets.

i’m very glad that you’re still around buddy.

Thanks.

I remember you made this statement some time ago.

@ynnad4

I really hope at some point somebody can manage to mix my rainbow effect for composite-sega genesis within your Composite looking presets, that would be the ultimate perfect looking for Composite gameplays.

Well, with my new NTSC Shader Presets, this has been accomplished.

The tools to do it were already in existence for quite some time, it just took some time and experimentation in order to understand them well enough to find the right settings.
