Nice. Was hoping you had included the last upgraded grade shader that Dogway put out but it’s not a big deal, forgot what was even upgraded there.
Yeah, sorry i forgot about it. I think i’m going to make another update next week which will include the newest grade version plus some stuff, if anything else comes to my mind.
It’s all good no worries. Currently your shader is in top form to me since you added those base mask and clip saturation settings, I feel spoiled almost at this point lol. I’ll be on the look though and thank you as always.
Small problem, when trying to change these parameters straight in Retroarch they are not called the same so I cant find them. Is there a way to map these to what are called in the shader options meny?

Hi @guest.r , I noticed that negative value for scanlines saturation give the same effect as positive value.
Something else completely unrelated but I wanted to keep the effect of halation while limiting its visibility vertically.
So I modified —>
Bloom = mix(0.5*(Bloom + BloomBloom), 0.75*BloomBloom, colmx);
in deconvergence.slang by 0.0 and 0.25 respectively. While keeping in mind that the base values are correct and let’s say a preset has a brightness calibration of (240,232,224) for example, with bad values you will end up with (240,229,221) or else, which will require adjusting your preset. I wanted to share this tip before I forget haha, this is what I did on a few of my presets so I could test and I like the result

Downsampling
Wow your Shadow Mask looks sexy. I’m tempted to ask you what settings you used there lol
Yes, that’s to maintain compatibility with older presets which could have negative values present. Without this tweak they would become unpredictable. Still dunno if a new alternate mode is needed.
Thanks ! That’s what I am using with p-uae with automatic crop and games with even integer (ex: 200 x 10).

For other systems I’m using default glow radius and sigma because of the source scale type in my passes (amiga resolution), and default horizontal sharpness. While keeping same settings for everything else.
I use the defaults (0.50) and I am satisfied with the result. 
Im totally lost im sorry.
If I wanna use examples posted here, how do I actually do it?
These are to go into HD-preset:

Yes, you just copy/paste them there. Once you get the know-how of it, it gets very easy.
I improved my preset using the tip posted above (deconvergence.slang discussion), I finally got the look I was trying to achieve. I don’t think I can do better and I’m happy with the results so this will be the last preset I make.

Ok I got it to work now. I did everything from this laptop this time, maybe some part of the chain to get it from my mobile device ended up damaging the files somehow.
It works on this PC in Retroarch, so Im gonna try and get it to the mobile and then start to tune it.
Thanks a bunch!
Ok the edited shaders work fine on PC, but they do not work on my Odin.
The AYN Odin is an android based device. All released shaders work, but these edited ones do not. It really looks like it is Retroarch for Android that is the problem.
So back to square one. Is there a way to find out what these settings are named in the menu? Because I can edit shader parameters in the shader menu.
Just edit some parameters on Odin and save the preset. Then replace the parameter section with the parameters you want to replace honoring the spacing and placing.
You can also study logs if they tell the type of error you are getting.
Otherwise it sounds like community presets aren’t working on Android which would be really annoying. But there aren’t other reports about this special issue.
You are also able to open the shade files (like in shaders/guest/advanced…) and study the parameter connection there. Currently i’m not planning to include the parameter names in menu entries, maybe some day in the documentation when it’s ready.

Nice. What better way to start the day than with a brand new guest.r shader update 
To not have plans to include the names is super fair. I really hate to lay anything at all on you because your doing this for free and its like…incredible. But I was thinking of a “parameter to menu name conversion table” so I could look them up myself, but same here, it was just an idea for being able to lie in the sofa, play games through 8bitpro controller and also being able to try some parameters you see from the forum. Super luxuary, just a crazy idea for my own use.
But to the problem matter at hand. I did get it to work. But it feels kinda buggy for the Android. Not your shaders, but the app iteself.
Conclusion for me is that something gets contaminated when saving on notepad in pc and then sending to Android via email, or sharing via google drive, none of that did ever work. Editing directly on Android does work.
One thing about shaders on RetroArch Android is that the shaders folder is placed in the root of the SD card so it’s not accessible unless your android device is rooted. Assuming that you aren’t rooted let’s try a different method for your shaders, we’ll try moving the shaders folder where you can access it.
If you open the RetroArch directory setting the default location for the shaders folder should look like this:
We’re going to switch the location to your RetroArch folder in your SD card so the first thing you should do is go into the RetroArch folder on your Android device and create a folder called “shaders”. From there re open RetroArch, go back to the directory and change the shaders folder to the newly created shaders folder so that it now looks like this:
Now open RetroArch once more and update your shaders and they should appear now in the new shaders folder:
You should now be able to edit/create and do the things you mentioned from that folder. Hope that helps. Not to mention you should be able to use my presets that way as well.
