Koko-aio shader discussions and updates

>> Starting from the code from 2024-June-13, Koko-aio needs at least Retroarch 1.16 to work << Version NG-1.9.63 is up on github and should be available via online updater in Retroarch. Hi guys, first post here. In the past I made a shader for FS-UAE (Amiga emulation), but since i found that retroarch has a pretty good support for whdload games, I ported it to slangp so that it can be used with other emulators too. I’m not that expert with technical terms, but i’m fortunate enough to own a…

Fix

– The Candy Cab link has been changed to the proper one.

Update

– Working on Consoles. I have properly named the presets and have the settings done up to Atari Jaguar.

[Orionsangel]

Thanks for all your hard work @hgoda90 You’re making it easier for people to use my bezels. I appreciate it so much!

[hgoda90]

Update

– Consoles overlays preset pack is now available to download.

[hgoda90]

Next Up

– My Realistic Arcade Bezels

Note: The preset pack will be so each image has a preset. MagicHat’s presets will be linked as an alternative.

[hgoda90]

Update

– My Realistic Arcade Bezels presets are now available to download.

Note: Pack 5 hasn’t been added and none of the presets are final. I have a few other things I want to do in real life first and thought to just transfer them over for now.

[hgoda90]

Changes

– Will be applying a few changes to global settings in My Realistic Arcade Bezels

Note: I will try to make all the presets follow 4:3 aspect ratio and be doing pack 5 as well. It’s going to take a while since there are 174 games.

[hgoda90]

Changes

– Made some Directory changes to all the packs except My Realistic Arcade
– Added Intro from Duimon’s Orionsangel-Original-Console to all the packs

[hgoda90]

Current Progress

– All overlay presets will be for packs 1 - 5 only
– Renamed all the images to fit preset name, i.e. cab_white_full
– Doing Horizontal Arcade overlays first and currently on Mouse Trap

[hgoda90]

Update

– I have finished with Packs 1-4 and should be able to finish Pack 5 tomorrow

Note: There were a few weird shaped overlays that I wasn’t able to get 4:3

Preset Settings

#reference "../res/params/mbz.params"

I need to dig in deeper on some of these settings your using here to see what you have going on! Are you using certain mega bezel parameters to do your own “dark” versions from that end of things vs the actual original cabinet art png?

So your mbz.params file is what controls which mega bezel preset is ultimately used based on whichever one is set to # correct? So someone would just need to change where that # is in there to adjust the level of mega bezel used. Then each of the .slangp files point to this mbz.params to read it.

What tells your game (that you launch) to use one of the many .slangp files? Is that a manual configuring part for the end user to pick and choose and set them per game on their end?

Either way good work.

[hgoda90]

The mbz.params files just has a list of Mega Bezel presets that can be changed by removing // from the wanted shader file path.

I do Night variations with Ambient Lighting controlled by night.params file.

The slangp file that is loaded is dependent on the end user. It’s the way that the presets were loaded before Hyperspace did wildcard.

[hgoda90]

Thanks @MagicHat, now that I have seen the changing of # instead of removing // I am going to have to change them.

[MagicHat]

@hgoda90

I do Night variations with Ambient Lighting controlled by night.params file.

The slangp file that is loaded is dependent on the end user. It’s the way that the presets were loaded before Hyperspace did wildcard.

Ok I’m following your setup now. Your examples of these night variations via shader settings have my brain spinning up some potential ideas on methods for users to possibly customize their setups in a more user friendly way.(vs manually selecting the .slang in game.

[K-rnivoro]

Hi @hgoda90 and @MagicHat. I really appreciate your work, but to be honest, I can’t quite understand the difference between the two, I’m sorry if I’m mistaken but it seems both of you are doing the same job. And speaking of shaders, have you tried koko-aio shaders? He said they are faster and better suited for not-so-new machines.

[hgoda90]

The presets that MagicHat does use wildcard which auto loads overlay based on game. The ones I made is user dependent on what preset is loaded.

I have made some graphics for koko-aio myself but haven’t made presets for OrionsAngel’s overlays.

[K-rnivoro]

Ok, but both of you have made custom settings game by game for a custom fit, right? In any case, I don’t want to make a discussion of it, just asking. Regarding koko-aio, seems pretty interesting for putting an old PC to work… BTW, I love vertical layouts, for 32" or even larger vertical screens. Have you thought about converting those overlays to HSM or koko-aio?

[hgoda90]

@K-rnivoro

Ok, but both of you have made custom settings game by game for a custom fit, right?

Yeah that’s right. I went ahead and did the presets so there was a preset per image for those that want it that way. I should clarify that MagicHat set uses only one preset called multigame.

For vertical layout overlays, ArsInvictus and those over at 4K Vertical Overlay Community Contributions are going to be converting them over to Mega Bezel.

[MagicHat]

Yea the differences are the way things are strung together in the config, how they’re packaged up for release to others, and what’s needed on the end users side for setup and custom tweaks. Ultimately it’s @HyperspaceMadness idea and example that he came up with a few months back when I came on the scene specifically for @Orionsangel 's work. Once I realized his latest releases with the mega bezel are mostly art focused and not so much on a fully packaged up release, I started to learn how others are putting things together and figured I see if I can jump in and put something useful together for others to also use. Who knows maybe we can find a way to combine the best of both. I’m not here for any fame or to score points or “be first” lol. I set this up for personal use and then at the end I said, I should probably spend a little more time on documentation (for myself) and others incase others find it useful. So yea that’s my back story that no one probably cares about. Also… there’s absolutely no problem with having different options around here even if sometimes they might seem very similar. Options are great for everyone!

Hgoda played a role in me learning as well so he’s been great help. And seeing his ideas and methods help me think of additional ways to improve things as well. I would suggest you give them both a try just like anything else and go with the one that fits your needs.
