hgoda90 · 29 August 2023 05:26

Found an interesting raspberry pi project.

lfan Neo Geo Pocket Color presets have been added to the repo.

hgoda90 · 4 October 2023 01:59

I have been gone working on my localhost video ‘website’ that I call personalwebplayer and rewatching some anime.

Famicom and Famicom Disk System MegaLab Arcade presets have been added to the repo.

hgoda90 · 4 October 2023 20:44

Game Boy MegaLab Arcade presets have been added to the repo with some fixes to the other presets apparently.

hgoda90 · 6 October 2023 22:33

I plan on making the Console Arcade Stick presets into overlays in the future. A quick idea:

Edit: image change with touchups.

hgoda90 · 7 October 2023 00:12

I will be doing shader presets with the overlays as well with CRT Hyllian Curvature NTSC.

hgoda90 · 7 October 2023 21:44

I have what I want from the overlays and will work on them once I get done with the MegaLab Arcade presets.

hgoda90 · 8 October 2023 17:04

Thought to do the overlays for systems that can be played on the raspberry pi and slower pcs.

There has been a change to the screen border which I made to look like a rubber gasket. I also wanted to see if a DS overlay would be possible and it is with core option Screen Gap.

hgoda90 · 11 October 2023 00:45

Just a quick update, I changed the ball_alt of Console Stick to 50% gray to fix the gray colors and keep a good black color. The change will be added to the repo when I do the rest of the Game Boys.

hgoda90 · 11 October 2023 05:36

Just messed around with the Ball Top and found a setting that makes it look better. Still learning along the way.

hgoda90 · 13 October 2023 03:04

Made a few more adjustments to Console Arcade Stick. I will try to update everything as soon as I can with the backgrounds and the rest of MegaLab Arcade Game Boy presets.

Edit: made a few more tiny changes

hgoda90 · 15 October 2023 07:09

After toying around with a decent amount of edits to Console Arcade Stick, I came up with more of what my original idea was. I did the cosmetic changes as well as changes to the reflection settings.

Edit: I made a few more adjustments to the inner frame and added an outline for the bezel. Just when I think I am done.

hgoda90 · 16 October 2023 23:15

With the changes to Console Arcade Stick, I thought to post some images of the updated overlays.

Hello hgoda,

thanks for your awesome work. i love these shaders. Actually this inspired me for making my gameboy core with 4 player support. I would love to see these shader as a gbc3player or gbc4shader. Is this possible?

you can check out my website or github for downloading the core.

hgoda90 · 17 October 2023 22:03

Thanks for the comment. HyperspaceMadness’s Mega Bezel is special in of itself and is the shader, all I have done is graphics and some presets to be technical. I think he plans on doing 3 screen support in the future for Mega Bezel but 4 screen will still be possible by using two screens stacked.

I have tried to load the core but Retroarch crashes everytime.

Oh, thanks for the bug-report. i didn’t realize there’s a bug in single-player-mode (which is the default option, when first starting the core). As a hotfix i added my config file to the release. Now i should start with 4 emulated gameboys.

hgoda90 · 18 October 2023 20:35

With Duimon’s PVM20 graphics I used the custom Split-Screen to show what is possible now.

TimOelrichs · 18 October 2023 21:11

Wow. looks really cool thank you so for now it’s not possible to split into 4 screen, isn’t it? I mean this would be pretty cool for n64, dreamcast etc. splitscreen games also.

I found this post https://github.com/libretro/glsl-shaders/issues/129. Maybe this shader could be helpful?

hgoda90 · 18 October 2023 21:50

I have set custom 2player Split-Screen presets to Duimon’s PVM20 and TM20 graphics for consoles, 3DS and DS.

hgoda90 · 19 October 2023 02:32

Once I finish working on the Console Arcade overlays, I plan on working on getting the same style for koko-aio.
