Problems with retroarch PC

RetroArch General
#1

Hello, i am having some issues with retroarch on computer. I had retroarch before working with shaders and graphics OK, but i made the mistake of delete the folder and now im having troubles with bilinear filetring i think. I already tried to disable it on “retroarch.cfg” and even on retroarch phoenix to see if the problem was there, but my games are looking very pixelated. I think the retroarch is loading the “xbr filter” but the image still way too pixelated.

The configs on my retroarch.cfg are looking like this

video_driver = “d3d9” audio_driver = “dsound” libretro_path = “D:/retroarch2/genesis_plus_gx_libretro_x86_64_20130629.dll” video_smooth = “false” video_shader_enable = “true” video_shader = “D:/retroarch2/shaders/xbr/4xbr.cg” video_shader_dir = “D:/retroarch2/shaders/”

Btw, one last thing i noticed is that when i try to do some changes in video options using the retroarch.exe, it crashes sometimes or it’s not saved when i launch again the retroarch.

Thanks in advance for the help and sorry if here its not the place for this problem.

you have video_shader_enable=false, set it to true, you’re not loading shaders at all

This is inadequate information. Please paste log (File -> Show log in Phoenix)

I don’t see anything wrong here, you have a screenshot?

#6

Yes, here they are

#7

Dunno what happened but now i deleted the folder again and looks like the filters are working as before, anyways thanks for the help. The only problem i still have, its the retroarch not saving the 2nd shader when i configure it and use the “Apply Shader option”. Everytime i open it, i have to configure again the 2nd shader, is there another way to save a second shader?

thanks

I handle that by stting my shader in phoenix to rgui.cpp
