Thank you! I just tried it with these presets and I still get the freeze. I now suspect the upgrade to macOS Sequoia or the cores to be the reason. As far as I can tell this means the presets are fine. Is there any other Mac Arm64 user who could test these presets for Beetle PCE, Genesis Plus GX, and Snes9x and share the results?

The moment you said you were on Mac from the initial post I suspected it was something Mac OS related. I also forgot which guest.r shader update that old pack paired up with as well, I doubt that has anything to do with your current situation though.

Your presets from 03-03-2024 pair with the version of guest.r shaders you get from the current release of the Retroarch slang shaders.

That’s amazing if it does, figured with some of the changes and new settings guest.r added it would have things looking different or out of whack.
But I found my original post for that pack, I always include which guest.r shader version I’m using on any update I put out if you want that specific guest.r pack I used for that preset pack.

Quick update, I made some small changes to my preset pack, didn’t feel like making a brand new post just for 1 setting that I changed but you can grab the new pack in the 1st post like always. Just changed a setting in my Shadow Mask 4k presets.
Edit as of 10/23/2024: Had to switch one more thing up with the 4k Shadow Mask presets. The previous crt mask settings I was using wasn’t giving me satisfactory results. This should be the last time I have to edit them though, I put up a new pack under “release 4”.

New Version Release (10-29-2024)
Changes Made
-
Uses guest.r shader version 2024-10-27-r1.
-
4K Shadow Mask presets use new “mask zoom” settings, looks better than ever now (They only work with the latest guest.r shader update so be sure to update those shaders as well).
-
3-Phase Chroma Scaling/Bleeding setting adjusted on all composite rainbow presets (Previously had faint barely noticeable diagonal lines across the screen on certain backgrounds.)
Screenies (All images are from the 4K Shadow Mask presets only):
Grab this latest pack in the first post.

I am getting the “Can’t apply shaders” message for your shader presets. Any reasons why?

You downloaded the latest guest.r updated as well? My latest pack goes with his latest update exclusively. That may not be the issue but I suppose we can try that first.
Yea I did all of that and it read “Failed to apply shader.”

Hmm. Try deleting everything (both my preset pack and the guest.r shader update) and reinstalling everything from scratch. I wanna iron out that it’s not some old file somewhere causing an issue.

Copy. I will do. I hope this will work

A user on discord recently said my presets wouldn’t load up because my “sonkun” folder had a capital “s” instead of lower case. It was a error on his end but I’m just throwing that out there.

Nah, it’s lowercase for me.

Ok. How’d it go this time around?
IDK why it doesn’t have the updated dates on here. God, I hate Windows 11

Nice, always good to see a issue get resolved. Time to start gaming then.

I tested your latest release on the Samsung Galaxy S24+
I tried out Phantasy Star IV on the Sega Genesis and it worked with no slow down as far as I can tell.
Quick question though. My phone has 3 resolution settings outlined below. Which would be the best resolution to set my phone too to be compatible with your shader and which one of your presets should I be using with that resolution (4k, 1440p, or 1080p)? Also, not sure if it matters but I would be playing in landscape mode.
Phone Resolutions: 1560 x 720 2340 x 1080 3120 x 1440

Definitely not that 1560 x 720 one that’s for sure. For the other two I think I’d get a better idea if you posted a pic with both of those resolutions.
