Hey guys! Some testing with the resolution downsampling capabilities of Mega Bezel with 3D games from the Dreamcast era. The blending of textures, polygons and 2D elements is pretty amazing, considering the CLEANINESS and SHARPNESS of the final images! A little controlled deconvergence can be so precious for visual coherence…
LOK - Soul Reaver, hi-res texture pack from The Ancient Den
REZ, widescreen hack, fullscreen with bezel reflections
Wow, Rez is looking nice, all rezed up but a nice smooth retro feel.
Also CONGRATULATIONS @TheNamec on your release candidate of the Commodore Pack!!!
It’s looking amazing 
and such a wonderful gift to the community 
Also many thanks for all the great testing on the performance and breakdown of the different variations performance seen here
I love that standard and potato are shortened to STD and POT on that table ROFL.
Congrats on that release candidate (release? ; Words are complicated 
)
Ahahah thanks @HyperspaceMadness, you make my proud!
You know this would not be possible without the Mega Bezel Reflection Shader under the hood: I fell in love with your work since the first time I saw the bezel reflection and I’ve been very lucky having your constant support and allmighty attention. 
I am privileged to be part of the creative team with you and @Duimon and I hope to give some other contributions to the scene… before being sucked in again in IRL!!! 
Wow, amazing shader I have to admit. Maybe too much settings I’m lost haha. Is it possible (I’m pretty sure it is actually) to disable the ghosting effect? I’m using the MBZ 1 ADV preset, and I’m talking specifically about this
Seems like it’s a shader/setting issue tbh.
Idfk what’s actually happening tho
Can you provide more information, i.e. core, game, maybe even a log?
Oh, and there are an impressive number of settings. HSM is working on a solution to make them easier to wade through.
Thing is I haven’t changed anything from the preset so I don’t know… I’m not using any filter either.
I’m running bsnes accuracy, here with ALTTP (US). The effect is hard to notice unless recorded or screen captured and it seems to only affect the menu and cursor blink animation (so fast animations only). I’d say it’s part of the phosphor effect but I’m not finding a setting that affects this specific behavior.
Log file in case https://pastebin.com/EHLEmGfA
I can’t seem to reproduce the issue.
How long has your current installation of Retroarch been up?
Can you try it in a fresh install? Maybe it is some other setting.
Your screen looks like it was taken with the menu all the way down already, but it’s only visible when it is scrolling down.
It’s a fresh install (actually installed the latest stable yesterday just so I could try this shader)
EDIT: Funny thing, it’s only visible on black background, here notice how the HUD elements like hearts and rupees scroll down at the same speed but there isn’t any ghosting
In that case it is probably a phosphor persistence setting.
You can find them in the Guest settings under “AFTERGLOW”.
Yes that’s it. Specifically I had to set AS to 0 to fix this, not sure if that was an intended behavior or a weird side effect. In any case thank you for your help.
See the whole in-montion thing was important info 
Would’ve diagnosed that immediately lol.
Does the shader pack work on Linux?. I tried loading any of the presets and RetroArch crashes. Other “default” shaders seem to work.
To be fair, what did you expect with the term “ghosting”? 
Yes, it should work on Linux. Can you get a log? This would help us understand what might be going wrong.
There’s some instructions on how to get a log in the readme 
out of curiosity, does any one knows the correct aspect ratio to play on vertical on a 2560x1440 landscape monitor? been trying for days to get it to work for this sharder. Im in love with it! great work @hypersaceMadness
Thanks
For the aspect ratio you need to go to Settings/Video/Scaling and choose either 16:9, or as of Retroarch 1.97 you can choose “Full” which will match whatever your screen is, in your case 16:9.
thanks hyper, i notice that when i ran with mame it gave me 0 problem it identify it with instantly but it seems the problem is more with finalburn cores.
