WindowCast is not capturing my Vita3K emulator window. I’ve done everything the README doc stated to do, and RetroArch is still not capturing my emulator window. RetroArch goes to a complete black screen, and then it freezes and eventually shuts down. What can I do to fix this? What is possibly wrong?
I also want to say this is a very useful tool for Downscaling things to a CRT ironically enough. Some emulators and games have trouble fitting the low resolution of the display and this fixes that issue, you can even use antialiasing/downsampling shaders to get it looking way better than displaying directly to the TV

Can you elaborate with examples?
I’m having trouble making a recording using the windowcast core. retroarch won’t record with windowcast core. my nvidia recording doesn’t work right using windowcast and obs studio doesn’t record it either?
never mind i figured it out
I figured out how to record it with obs studio with hdr settings but the recording doesn’t show the right details of the retroarch shaders

Please elaborate. Any links, pictures?
The original non-Vulkan oddly always crashed when using RA without Vulkan.
Also, window capture (especially PC games, not emulators) is iffy.
Input lag is a frame or two, in my case noticeable if using side by side only, could this be reduced further, more like how RA treats it’s own emu cores?
For 3D or 2D+3D games with upped internal resolutions, which RA shaders would be recommended to have an effect on sprites?

I wonder if it’s possible for this core to support bat files, so we can create PC games playlists in RetroArch.

I cannot get this to function at all. Retroarch simply glitches for a moment and restarts when I try to use this core. I have gone as far as getting the precise class name of the program I want to capture, as well as trying the 32 bit nightly, 64 bit nightly, 64 bit latest stable, 64 bit stable from March 17 2023 (the closest to when the thread was created), and I imagine that trying the 32 bit variant will result in much the same thing as well.
What is everyone doing to get this to function, and I mean even as far as just not crashing Retroarch altogether, on Windows 10?

Apologies for the double post, but because I created my account to post this, I’m not allowed to edit my posts I suppose.
I want to clarify that I followed the instructions in the readme file, and that I can get Retroarch to display “WindowCast (1.0)” in the bottom left of the UI, but that is the furthest that it goes in terms of function. Selecting the “partials-example.txt” file, which I have edited to match the title of the game (even going as far as putting in the exact class name of the window), specifically causes the following:
Retroarch disappears Retroarch reappears with a white screen Retroarch disappears again Retroarch reappears back on the main screen with no core selected

Last post, but I didn’t know that I couldn’t arbitrarily put things on a line-by-line basis. Sorry for the mess, but again, I can’t edit my posts.

hello guys, is it possible to cast OBS or web browser with Windowcast? I tried but every time retroarch freeze and windowcast not detect the application
Ok i have try OBS (Legacy) and with this it’s work ! but with Streamlabs it doesn’t work, if you have a capture card you can use the real OBS and capture the window with windowcast core and apply all CRT Shader who you want in using in the same time the real hardware ! this is just insane !

WindowCast seems to be in dire need of some ELI5 tutorial videos covering a few different scenarios.

Is the 2.0 version close to being out of experimental?
