    Hi guys,

    I just figured out how to automatically load a shader at snes startup. I use snes9x. My retroarch.cfg for snes looks like this

    video_shader = /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/shader/sabr/sabr-v3.0.glsl
    video_shader_enable = true
    

    But how can I set the “shader scale” to “1” and the “shader filter” to “nearest”. When I press F1 in retroarch menu I can set these two values. But I don’t know how to set it in the cfg. Do you know how to configure it?

    I wouldn’t recommend shaders on the pi as they tend to cause performance issues. I would instead opt for overlays – see “how to get scanlines.”

    If you insist, though:

    Main menu -> options -> video options -> shader
    There you will find “shader scale” and “shader filter.”

    Thanks for your answer. I know how to set it manually in the options. But I want to set these two values in the retroarch.cfg so there is nothing to do after starting snes9x. I don’t want to set it manually every time.

    The default SNES emulator in RetroPie 3 beta 2 is lr-snes9x-next.

    Here are some examples for the retroarch.cfg that are generated (assuming 1 shader pass)

    Filter = Nearest
    Scale = Dont Care

    filter_linear0 = "false"
    wrap_mode0 = "clamp_to_border"
    mipmap_input0 = "false"
    alias0 = ""
    float_framebuffer0 = "false"
    srgb_framebuffer0 = "false"

    Filter = Linear
    Scale = 2x

    filter_linear0 = "true"
    wrap_mode0 = "clamp_to_border"
    mipmap_input0 = "false"
    alias0 = ""
    float_framebuffer0 = "false"
    srgb_framebuffer0 = "false"
    scale_type_x0 = "source"
    scale_x0 = "2.000000"
    scale_type_y0 = "source"
    scale_y0 = "2.000000"

    Filter = Dont Care
    Scale = 3x

    wrap_mode0 = "clamp_to_border"
    mipmap_input0 = "false"
    alias0 = ""
    float_framebuffer0 = "false"
    srgb_framebuffer0 = "false"
    scale_type_x0 = "source"
    scale_x0 = "3.000000"
    scale_type_y0 = "source"
    scale_y0 = "3.000000"

    Although I think these need to be called in, so you call your shader “snescustom.glslp” (put it wherever – probably in shader dir is best) or similar, then its contents would be

    shaders = "1"
    shader0 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/shader/scanline.glsl"
    filter_linear0 = "false"
    wrap_mode0 = "clamp_to_border"
    mipmap_input0 = "false"
    alias0 = ""
    float_framebuffer0 = "false"
    srgb_framebuffer0 = "false"
    scale_type_x0 = "source"
    scale_x0 = "1.000000"
    scale_type_y0 = "source"
    scale_y0 = "1.000000"

    Hi Floob,

    thank you, the second method with the custom shader worked for me :).

    BTW: Your videos are great and also helped me to solve other problems. Thanks a lot :) !

    Have a nice evening!
