Unable to save parameter changes in crt-pi shader?

Libretro Lakka
#1

Hi, I am using Lakka 3.3 on Raspberry Pi 4 and I don’t understand how to globally save a shader (crt-pi) with some parameter changes (the cushion effect at zero). I do this:

  • open a content
  • from the quick menu load the crt-pi shader, change the horizontal and vertical curvature parameters to zero and apply the changes
  • from the shader menu save as a new preset with the “stand-alone” option (I can’t remember the exact definition) as “crt-pi-flat”
  • then save also the shader as a global option.

Whenever I open a new content, the crt-pi shader is loaded but always with the cushion effect active, which I am forced to set to zero at each game. Also, if I try to load my “crt-pi-flat” preset it tells me that an error has occurred.

Am I doing a wrong procedure or is it a bug? Thank you so much.

P.S. as a video driver I am using Vulkan.

That procedure seems like it should work. Does it act any differently if you don’t do the “stand-alone” option?

also, can you get a log of when you try and fail to load that custom preset?

Thank you for your feedback. Even if I have enabled the “stand-alone” option, it seems that my new shader preset refers always to:

shader0 = crt/shaders/crt-pi.slang

So maybe it is a path problem, or the “stand-alone” option not working properly. I have set logging to debug level and the write-to-file option, but after the error I can’t find any log file in the logs folder. I’ll check again resetting Retroarch first.

Ops, fixed it! It was my fault: I had a shader core option (with an unmodified crt-pi) that was overriding my global option. Pardon me!

np, glad you got it sorted!

I have another problem, not related to the topic title but maybe again I’m doing something wrong.

Since I’m using a HDMI to DVI adapter, in config.txt I have added the option hdmi_ignore_edid_audio = 1

But I can’t hear anything from the analogue jack. I’ve also tried hdmi_drive = 1 without luck. Thank you.

I don’t see any way to force using the analog audio jack via config.txt. I think you’d need to change the audio device at runtime within lakka itself: http://www.lakka.tv/doc/Audio-settings/

EDIT: this seems good, too: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/68024/audio-over-speaker-jack-in-lakka

Audio fixed! (first method) Thank you SO MUCH!!!

@hunterk I’d like to update LAKKA via online updater from 3.3 to 3.4. Will my retroarch.cfg (and thus also the audio source configuration) be kept? Thank you.

AFAIK, yes. The in-app updater shouldn’t erase your configs.
