Let me see if I understand you:
If you want to add passes to crtglow + jinc2, it depends on what the pass does, but in general, it would be better before, because crtglow scales the image to the size of the viewport and some passes expect 1x; in the middle it may not work, because crtglow looks for previous passes in a specific order (you would have to modify the shader files, and I’m not talking about the preset).
Now, if you want to know how to combine jinc2-sharp with other crt shaders, if you have any doubts, use it at the beginning, but in general, it works as long as it’s at 1x for merging checkers purposes.
I hope I was helpful

Thanks, it helped some.
I’m still dipping my toes into the shaders at the moment.
That’s really weird. Here’s a new log. I tried to load both the gdapt and mdapt glsl preset files and nothing seems to happen; no shaders are applied. Other presets seem to load fine.

That’s really odd. I launched by searching for “RetroArch (log to file)” in the start menu and launching from there. Here’s a new log where I successfully loaded a preset.

[INFO] Config: appending config "D:\retroarch\config\Snes9x 2010\Snes9x 2010.cfg"I’m not sure. I’m still not seeing anything about shaders loading, though it’s listing the parameters… Weird.
Does it look like I’m doing the verbose logging correctly, though? If so, I might try a re-install.

I can’t figure verbose out myself so don’t feel bad.
It’s missing some other information that’s typically included in a verbose log, like GL capabilities and some other stuff.
So, if you have the cmd/powershell window open and you type .\retroarch --menu --verbose and it’s printing all of the stuff to the console, you should be able to go into a game and apply a shader and see it spit out a bunch of stuff each time you hit “apply changes”. Is that happening on your end?
Okay, I launched from command line using .\retroarch --menu --verbose. The console spit out a bunch of stuff. I applied a shader and hit “apply changes,” but didn’t notice the cmd window doing anything, although the shader was successfully applied in Retroarch.

in settings > logging, what are your settings?
I don’t even see “logging” under the settings menu. 
EDIT: okay, I figured out that I needed to enable advanced user settings first. Verbose logging was disabled, so I enabled it. Here’s the log generated when I try to apply the gdapt preset:

ERROR: 3:132: '' : illegal recursive expansion of macro dot
ERROR: 3:132: 'dot' : failed to expand macro
I’ll see if there’s anything I can do about that.
EDIT: I think both mdapt and gdapt should be fixed now.

Just tested both and both are working fine now. You rock!

Just curious, why are the jinc2 shaders located in the directory called “windowed”?

It’s a reference to the algorithm’s construction. From Wikipedia:
In signal processing and statistics, a window function … is a mathematical function that is zero-valued outside of some chosen interval, normally symmetric around the middle of the interval, usually near a maximum in the middle, and usually tapering away from the middle.
I think we technically have a number of other shaders that would fall under this umbrella, but it’s what Hyllian decided to classify these as when he made them.
