Mega Bezel Reflection Shader! - Feedback and Updates

[GT2000]

A solution to the black boarders would be amazing. I was thinking there must be some way of recognizing what is boarder vs game image and auto-cropping but no doubt it’s super complicated. Great to hear you’re working on something, I’ll keep an eye for it and put some time into testing it out.

Happy to contribute and it certainly helps that the environment is good, that’s becoming hard to find online these days (speaking as a an old school forum guy and not so much of a social media fan)!

Can you help me?

After I made an update to the pack and retroarch I can no longer keep the background image on the entire screen. My resolution is 2560x1080 and is set to 21: 9. I do not know what happened.

Even if I make a 2560x1080 image it has the black bars on the side.

Sorry my english and ty

@Kadosh

Even if I make a 2560x1080 image it has the black bars on the side.

This is because by default the background tries to keep it’s proper aspect when the screen is wider, which keeps the graphics from stretching If you want it to stretch to the full width you should change:

[ STANDARD IMAGE LAYERS ]___________ / Aspect Ratio to 0 which will stretch the image to the full viewport.

[Kadosh]

I’ll try, thanks!

@c9f5fdda06

Integer scale: off

aspect: 21:9

Crop overscan: on.

Thanks! I didn’t even realize it was in Portuguese: /

[Kadosh]

I will try this configuration. Thanks!

Mega Bezel is updated to V 0.9.06 2020-04-15

Changes:

• Now only the bezel folder is in the package
• Reflection
• Fixed Reflection so it would be like it was in the previous version, more diffused as it moves outward
• You can create more mirror-like reflection can be made by reducing [ REFLECTION BLUR ]_________ / Max Blur to 0
• Reflection Blur Falloff Distance, an easy way to control how quickly the reflection gets blurry
• STANDARD preset: Fixed Black Edge on outer edge of the frame
• HD-CORE presets added to experimental folder
  • Experimental means they are new and may change significantly in the near future, (names may change, individual presets may disappear, passes inside may be adjusted)

HERE ARE THE LINKS!

Shader Package Approx. 15 MB

Extra Examples Package

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• You MUST use Retroarch Version 1.9.1 or Later (It will fail to load on earlier versions)
• If you have previous versions of the Mega Bezel installed:
  • Delete the old Mega Bezel stuff from shaders/shaders_slang/bezel
• Inside the .zip is a bezel folder, copy the bezel folder into your Retroarch/shaders/shaders_slang folder
• Set video driver to Vulcan
  • It will run in GLCore but seems faster in Vulcan
• Set video aspect ratio to your monitor aspect ratio e.g. 16:9
• Set integer scale to OFF
• Load a preset in the shaders menu, mega bezel shaders are found in:
  • shaders/shaders_slang/bezel/Mega_Bezel/Presets
• When you save a preset make sure you have the Simple Presets feature set to ON
  • This will save a preset which has a reference to the preset you loaded plus whatever parameter changes you made
  • This is what will keep your presets loading properly when the shader updates in the future

Thanks a lot for explaining the whole lot details.

@HyperspaceMadness

This is the stuff I tend to enjoy the most so that’s why it evolved that way. (Although it’s strange that you were having a problem with TG16 as it has an arcade resolution)

And this is the log file from 2x internal res PSX when crash. The libretro core is SwanStation but that really doesn’t matter, I get same result when 2x enabled in any PSX core. It’s obvious that the bottleneck is my system in that case but after changing scale14 = 3 factor to scale14 = 1 in base shader like you mentioned it start working.

Also Note that the BASIC-BORDER and BASIC-BORDER-WITH-REFLECT do not have any increased resolution in them

Yes but they don’t have similar fancy features nor shader passess that Standard preset gets, right? So I thought it’s better to be able to tweak Standard preset to make it work on my low end system instead

@HyperspaceMadness

I have some HIRES-CORE presets which will come in the next update that will be in an -Experimental- folder

Downloaded V 0.9.06 2020-04-15 just now and tested it on PSX with 2x internal and it didn’t crash I’ll be reporting further.

I can see now this is going to be saving many of us with low end system which IS great news!

@HyperspaceMadness

HD-CORE presets added to experimental folder

OMG… awesome!!!

Log from PCEngine/TG16

Thanks for the log

Yeah this is quite weird, it’s reporting that the pc engine core is outputting 2048x2048, which is really strange since pc engine should be max 512x240. Which emulator is this?

[Unparallell]

It’s libretro Beetle PCE core. Beetle PCE (v0.9.48 f9264be) to be precise.

And this is what’s inside of Beetle PCE.opt file in \RetroArch\config\Beetle PCE directory in case it gives more idea about the case. I didn’t make any custom setting change in RA core settings menu so it has to be default settings;

pce_adpcmextraprec = "10-bit"

I guess there is a typo with 2020

@HyperspaceMadness

I’m having a little bug when I load a game in ParaLLEl, I have a white screen (it covers the whole monitor) for a second when the game starts. This bug started with the version for Retroarch 1.9.1.

[JHorbach1]

I’ve tried without shader and with CRT Geom, it doesn’t happen. In Super Mario 64 the white screen happens when starting the game and a moment after Super Mario 64 logo (using HSM).

[HyperspaceMadness]

Ok I after some back and forth (I’ve deleted these posts to reduce noise) and testing by @JHorbach1 it seems proven to me that the core is outputting a 0 resolution for an instant.

In this scenario the best I can do is to just make sure it blinks black instead of any other color.

Edit: If I end up adding Original as an option for scaling in Retroarch for the pass scaling type this could be fixed at that point.

[JHorbach1]

I’ll update Retroarch just for sure, the core is already updated. If anything changes I will edit this post.

Trying out the new HD-Core presets and it’s going very well so far. I was using the Advanced preset with Shader 14 Scale set to 1, which got past the resolution issue as previously discussed.

As I was trying out different games I noticed some performance drops. Blast Corps being a good example, it was a bit of stuttering mess. I’m using Mupen64Plus-Next with the ParaLLEI plugins, at 4x scaling. I thought it might be a plug in issue as the N64 is messy like that but wasn’t getting good results changing those around in the core settings.

However, I loaded it up today, changed the shader over to the HD-Core Advanced preset, from the experimental folder and it’s running perfectly now. I guess the reduced number of shader passes on the new presets plays nicer with it and I can stick with the ParaLLEI plug ins.

Just wanted to give some initial feedback, specific to what I’m doing right now. Great stuff!!

Great update! I have some questions about the HD/downsampling presets. Is the idea to use the downsampling presets when using cores with high external res? Like if you were to bump the internal resolution on the psx core for example. And if that is the case, it probably doesn’t make any sense to use these with 240p cores like nes, right?

Since some of these systems, and even games within the same system, have different internal res, it would be neat if there was a way to force 240p at all times for a more consistent look.

Yup that’s right!

You could do this, but I’m not sure you would like the results, because if you downsample something that is small normally you are going to get smearing when you should have sharper lines.

If you change the resolution in the preset to 240 you can see if you like the results

Dear HyperspaceMadness, could you please name every release according to release date? This would help me determine whether I missed a release. Thank you.

[HyperspaceMadness]

You mean like this?

Are you talking about the folder or files?
