Duimon - HSM Mega Bezel Graphics and Presets - Feedback and Updates

[walter.farmacia]

Hy!!! Good day!! I have tried, but I cannot put the original game boy dmg graphics in the Duimon overlays, I know that it cannot be configured in ADVANCE lcd-dmg shader, could you help me

[walter.farmacia]

I would like Duimon’s Game Boy but if you can with the original game boy graphics

i want this image

with dmg graphics

[Duimon]

@walter.farmacia

with dmg graphics

That is something we cannot do. At least those of us without a lot of shader coding skill.

@HyperspaceMadness will have to add the DMG shader to the Mega Bezel. It is actually not on the to do list but I know HSM wants to do it. It was in at one time but broke beyond repair.

If you want my graphic, and can live without the reflection, you could always just use my standard overlay with the DMG shader preset.

[walter.farmacia]

I don’t care about the reflection, it can be without the reflection, I tried to do it with standard overlay but I don’t know how to do it either you help me

[Duimon]

Yeah the DMG preset is tough to work with because it does some automatic scaling. Are you using a 1080 screen or 4K?

[Duimon]

@hgoda90

@Duimon you keep pumping them out pretty quick.

I’m putting the pedal to the metal while I have some free time. Things will slow down soon.

I have also decided to do a request for the Apple II that was not on my list, so that will take some time away also.

[walter.farmacia]

Duimon … i use 4k resolution

[Duimon]

OK. Let me see what I can do with creating a custom overlay.

@walter.farmacia

i want this image

@Duimon, can you make one where you disable the reflection and bezel and use the LCD Shader and colours from this preset then maybe tweak and work your way towards getting it closer to the DMG Shader image?

@Duimon

Here is the first live shot.

This was truly one of the toughest graphics yet. It surprised me because I thought it would be fairly fast and easy.

What do you think of that idea @walter.farmacia?

I could be wrong but it looks as if the DMG uses Blue as the colour for the LCD pixels and Yellow for the Background that’s why when they blend it looks greenish.

In the Game Com preset it looks like the pixel colour is black. I think the DMG Shader has a PNG with the exact pixel and background colours used.

Gameboy DMG shader too yellow

Sorry to necro the thread @hunterk but are you talking about this one? Where does the blue come into things? Can I just make the yellow square more green? [image]

DMG Shader

This is a mix and modification of two existing shaders: First, i took Harlequin’s excellent gameboy shader, and i modified the way it handles the palette colors (i needed to do so in order to display realistic GB colors). Then i added a border shader from Themaister as a final pass. The result is this: 2x shader: [image] 3x shader: [image] 4x shader: [image] Some images might appear downscaled in your browser. Open them in a new tab to see them in full size. Here is the download link: h…

@Duimon, have you ever thought about updating your handhelds (or providing alternates) which didn’t naturally have bezels and reflections and instead focus on the lighting effects in order to showcase HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader’s greatness?

[Duimon]

@Cyber

have you ever thought about updating your handhelds (or providing alternates)

Nope. If people want to eliminate the bezel they can do so with parameters.

I did consider not doing any graphics for devices with a Game Boy style screen. (Because they would never have a reflection.)

I changed my mind and posted at length about my decision.

BTW. @walter.farmacia shot is using the Potato preset which can’t use my Game Boy method.

I will have a 4K overlay and config for him in short order.

I remember reading a post like that but I didn’t go back and refer to it. I was just thinking to myself that perhaps that might have been your way of showcasing HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader back then but now that there are more lighting effects that you can still showcase the shader while also having a more realistic and authentic appearance of the handhelds.

This is all thought based on assumption and without referring to the post where you explained your reasoning though.

[Duimon]

@Cyber

I am still here to showcase the Mega Bezel, that will never change.

What people tend to forget is that my work is just a starting point, and only examples of what can be done.

If users want to showcase the Mega Bezel less, then they can play with the parameters to get exactly what they want.

The one thing I have never wanted was for my work to become a crutch, and stop them from using the Mega Bezel features themselves.

Here is a WIP on the Apple II request.

There is a whole lot of work to be done yet but it is taking shape.

[walter.farmacia]

@Duimon waoo amazing work!!!

[walter.farmacia]

I don’t know much about this, I just know that they look great

[walter.farmacia]

Thank you very much, I will appreciate it very much

[Duimon]

Here is the last WIP on the Apple II for today.

I just noticed I forgot to change a drive number.

[walter.farmacia]

Last night I tried Mega Duck in Hyperspin with Retroarch (without using RocketLauncher) and it runs perfect and the @Duimon Advance Mega duck Night overlays look perfect… Thank @Duimon for all!!!

Hey Duimon, I tried to download the new presets from your github page, but the master archive has an error.
