Some shader presets are not listed

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to use the “crt-1tap.slangp” shader preset on my Steam Deck. The preset and the shader are there, I can see them in the Plasma file explorer. But in RetroArch, they are not there. Some other presets are not listed too. I’m using the Glcore video driver. Why are some shader presets listed, but some other are not ?

Edit : it’s not all the presets and shaders that are missing, only a few.

Hey there, maybe try the Vulkan video driver. If I understood correctly GLCore / OpenGL will only get glslp preset files available.

Maybe there’s also something similar to what you want with 1tap with glsl.

GLCore uses slang shaders, as I said, some of them are listed and usable. only a few are missing and I can’t figure out why. And I cannot use the Vulkan driver on my Steam Deck, it makes RetroArch crash at startup.

How was RetroArch installed? Through Flatpak?

No, it is the Steam version.

Some Cores automatically switch the video driver to GL if they don’t support Vulkan/GL Core or if the currently supported video plugin doesn’t support GL Core or Vulkan.

But then I would not be able to use the other .slangp presets for them ?

I don’t know about the Steam version, but try this: go into Settings > Directory and change the video shaders directory to somewhere inside your home folder (you must have read/write permission into it). After that, redownload the shaders into the new directory and see if they’re all listed.

Weirdly enough I got Retroarch 1.15 also running on a pretty old tablet with Android 5.1 and no Vulkan support… And that version has a glsl preset available for 1Tap…

But yeah, I dont use the Steam version neither.
