Elhora Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 hi everyone. I have a problem i can't really understand. My launchbox is on a portable HDD that i can move between computers. Everything works fine. I have 1 arcade cabinet and one bartop who have exactly the same screen (27" - 4k). I configured my shaders in Mame.ini in my Mame folder to give my game a CRT aspect. On my Bartop it works fine, but for a reason i can't explain, when i put the HDD on my arcade cabinet who have the same screen, the shaders dont apply ! You can't even see the scanline.... And i really dont understand. If the problem was Mame, the shaders should work the same way on both screen ? or there is a parameter i missed somewhere ?

Lordmonkus Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 My first guess is your cabinet PC doesn't support the shaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elhora Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 how is that possible ? it's the same usb drive that i move from computer to computer and the problem only occurs on Mame : Retroarch games have shaders on every computer, not Mame. Just like it was not using the same ini file. That's so frustrating. my brain is lost there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a different PC with different hardware, the monitor is of absolutely no relevance here, its the PC that seems incompatible with the shaders, using a different GPU and CPU to the other PC im guessing?

On the Pc where everything is working it's a i7 9700k with RTX 2080. On the PC where it's not working, it's i3 9100F with 1050Ti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
