Hi! I got it working now, but how can i disable the phosphor life?

I get an annoying ghosting effect.

Just disable the effect in the chain if it's not good for you

 

Here something that was not possible with MAME until now :

 

And also

 

Will be most probably put in the next MAME BGFX chain update 😎

 

 

[lemmingDev]

Would someone mind explaining how to get this (or even the previous version if it's better suited) working with DEMUL (and a link to a bezel pack if there is one)

1080p monitor

Much appreciated

nice Houb!

 

i test the darius game on old arcabview MAMEUI version and the darius 1 display is correct across the 3 screens without the bezel though

the bgfxchain version is not so correct in darius 2 on the standard mame as it will show the bezel on the single screen

 

i see you have made a fix, nice work!

 

i will download all the mame chd and extract for the ttx game and will report the original correct game.exe md5 for each game so you know which is the original. i will report back with the information when i have it so you can add to arccabview.

we discuss to understand the correct md5 for the original game.exe and it is in the mame chd for some game!

Ciao ragazzi, 

Trovo questa app e la testerei sui miei giochi di grande collezione su launchbox. Ho più di 100 piattaforme. È possibile applicare le cornici su tutti gli emulatori o solo sui giochi per pc? Viene utilizzato solo per un singolo gioco exe o anche sull'emulatore? Quindi posso usare la stessa cornice per tutti i giochi di una piattaforma, molto facile? 

Mi aiuti per favore. Imposterei la cornice migliore sulla mia grande collezione. 

Temo di aver rotto tutti i sistemi😱

Hey Houb, is there any way of reducing the strenght of the scanlines?

The are a bit too heavy on my big screen.

Hi Houb,

 

I am always happy to see people creating modified shaders based on my shaders such as crt-geom. However, I do request that you provide the original source files for the MAME BGFX shaders, and not only the compiled versions.

Hi,

Nice to meet you

About CRTGeomMOD and ArcCabView they are open as you know, about the MAME BGFX chain I wanted to put the code in MAME but the devs I spoke with were not interrested at all... 😞

I'm pleased you contacted me and I would be even more pleased if you can/want to put it (or some parts) in MAME

I will send you a message soon

 

Edit: Sources and MP sent!

you can try to change the few settings in "CRT Advanced" many things can be set and I'm sure you can get something as you want

Hi Houb, Downloaded ArcCabView_MAME_BGFX_Chain_v1.3 for my MAME 0.228 and followed the instructions. Removed CRT-Geom MOD Deluxe MAME (BGFX). It enters the mame menu but when starting a game the screen stays black and it goes to the desktop. How can i fix this?

removing CRT-Geom MOD Deluxe was not a good idear... most probably it should be still defined in many game's ini and now it fails.

try to remove all your ini files and put the ones included in the package.

Thanks Houb, I managed to put it on and it looks really amazing. I would like to know how it can be configured for model 2, 3? 

[faluki]

Hello jrfm, could you tell how you have configured it for those emulators and how have you managed to put it in 4:3? I have managed to use it in model 2, but it comes out in 16:9 and the emulator is correctly configured in 4:3

Leave the emulator video settings like stretched or uncheck any 'keep aspect ratio', as raw as possible... in reshade, go to ingame display settings and set crop ratio settings to 4:3

Hello, hope you all doing great! Does anyone know how to fix these shadows in MAME? I'm using ArcCabView_MAMEUI64_0.241_v1.2a because my MAME pack is 240.

 

Thanks!

just edit the bgfx\chains\ArcCabViewXXX.json files with a bigger default value for "Phosphor decay power"

you can try to find the correct value you want using the sliders ingame and when done edit all the chains with the value you like

how do i access the crt advanced settings?

the normal hotkey doesn’t work and i didn’t find any suitable ini file to edit?

@Houb

Je viens de tester ton launcher et ça marche plutôt bien!

Concernant les presets je trouve ça super utile car plus besoin de régler les jeux soit-même c'est automatique. Du coup penses-tu qu'il serait possible d'en créer pour certains émulateurs comme Supermodel, Redream ou m2emulator par exemple? Je pense que ça pourrait être intéressant de les ajouter.

Demul n'est plus intéressant car le core Flycast via Retroarch fait très bien le boulot. Il y a juste Confidential Mission sur lequel il y a des problèmes de sons (certains sons sont manquants comme le rechargement ou les tirs parfois).

Pour Dreamcast j'utilise Redream. Tous les jeux marchent bien dont Sonic qui avait pas mal de problèmes sur Flycast.

Et tous ces émulateurs marchent avec ArcCabView.

 

EDIT: je viens de tester Supermodel et le launcher ne marche pas. Tu devrais laisser le générique (version manuelle) en téléchargement pour réussir à faire fonctionne ArcCabView sur ce genre d'émulateur.

@Safur

The generic manual version is still "included" : You just have to move ReShade.ini and ReShade's dlls renamed to the root folder and it should work as before without the launcher

[spot]

@Houb i just gotta say congratulations on this latest release, i have used it for some days now, it's super simple to use and it's very nice to look at! AWESOME work!

so here something with a better result (you need at least a FullHD screen mini 1920x1080)

you have to disable all jconfig d3d wrapper and to start the game using the launcher.

it will be launched in your desktop resolution. To get better result the launcher will now use rotate.exe if needed to rotate your screen configuration to portrait mode.

extract in the exe folder, don't use the .bat to launch the game: use the launcher included directly.

portrait and desktop mode are available (check reshade.ini)

enjoy

I try but it seems reshade can't hook ...\ElfLdr2\BudgieLoader.exe

If someone succeeded tell me how lol...

Did someone get it to work with Streets of Rage Remake? Tried renaming that libdraw.dll to ddraw.dll or ddraw.dll to it, no success.

Hi everyone,

 

I've been using version 2.3 on some Unity engine games my friends and I have made and it seems to be working well.

Although I cannot figure out how to get bezels to load and stay saved on each game. Here are the steps I took. I created a directory in UserTextures with the name of the game. Added a bezel.png file. Load the game. Load reshade. Go to settings. Remove the textures search folder. Add the folder that I created in it's place. Go back to the main tab in reshade. Click the refresh button and it now scans the directory that I pointed it at and the bezel loads and I can move it around! Great! EXCEPT. Now if I close reshade and then close the game it resets the texture scan directory and removes the one I put inside the reshade settings menu.

 

What should I do if I want to put a bezel on a game in the official list that comes with the software? I know it works but just won't stay saved when the game closes. Any help is appreciated!

If you put a bezel.png file in "UserTextures\MyGameName\" the launcher should set reshade to use it and you have nothing to edit nor change after that: you don't have to set nor edit anything

Sorry I didn't test it but it should work using Openbor in Opengl check the others Openbor games, the setting should be very similar

Thanks Houb! That was it, it's worked!

I had named the folder the same name as at .ini for some reason. I thought I had tried this way but guess I hadn't.

 

Great software btw! Really awesome work

[Cnells2000]

C'est vrai que ces shaders sont géniaux! Déjà les précédents CRT geom étaient terribles comparés à ceux de Mame mais là c'est bien mieux!

Il faudrait qu'ils soient intégrés au Mame officiel afin que tout le monde en profite.

D'ailleurs je les ai appliqués à tous mes émulateurs : Redream, Teknoparrot, Supermodel et même Retroarch comme ça tous les émulateurs de la NES à la PS2/Wii en passant par la Naomi peuvent en bénéficier!

Yo Safur, j'essaie d'y integrer a demul mais je bloque sur l'affichage du bezel, l'effet crt c'est ok. intéressé egalement par ta methode d'integration dans retroarch.

 

Une fois que j'aurais effectué tous mes tests, je pourrais faire part de mon retour d'info des 3 derniers mois concernant ces tests

How did you manage to fix this?  I am using MAME_0230_64.  I combed through all the files.  I have no issue running other bgfx such as crt-geom-deluxe
