Joe35car Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 OK I must of broke something because now Retroarch doesn't want to save my shader settings I apply to systems. In fact it doesn't even save the option to turn on shader video. When I go to quick launch to apply shaders the option for video shader is always turned off. How can I fix this to save it to stay on?

faeran Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Curious to the steps you are taking to set your shaders. From what I know, here are some basic steps: Launch a game, then enter into the quick menu and go to the Shaders section Load a shader, then click Save, and save it as either a Core Preset, Content Directory Preset, or Game Preset (Game overrides Content Directory, and Content Directory overrides Core) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe35car Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 Yes I have done the above and nothing is saving. All my shader were working before but now none of my systems will save. The main thing is the video shader is always in the off position which is why nothing is being saved. I'd hate to start from scratch and start over with retroarch. I have over 50 systems.

Joe35car Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 I had to go in the cong file for retroarch and change it from false to true. Just weird it wouldn't save it when I try in quick menu. Working now. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namcofanboy Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I'm glad you got this figured out. It's making me crazy. Which config file did you edit, and what did you change from false? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namcofanboy Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Nevermind, figured it out! For anyone else, edit the video_shader_enable line to "true" in retroarch.cfg in your RetroArch-Win64 directory. Good luck and happy gaming! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get my shaders to save under the shader menu, but if I back out to the config override it will save to the core. Was hoping the actual shader save menu worked because I'm starting to have issues with these core config overrides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxforwardspeed Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I got it to work doing your edit to the config as described. Must not be corrected yet with the latest build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristagally Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Hello, this is exactly my problem right now, with the latest version. I load the urinal color on GB, save as a core preset (because I want this for all the GB game), and when I escape and load a new game, shader is not applied. Any idea?

You also have to save a normal override too. Also you should save a "content directory override" instead, otherwise you will also have piss green game boy colour also.

Cristagally Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Thanks for your reply. I've tried, but i must do an error cause it's not working. I launch a GB game I load the gameboy urinal shader Game looks like the original game boy! Under "shaders", I go to "save" I have multiple choice: Save shader preset as Save global preset Save core preset Save content directory preset save game preset What I'm doing wrong? You speak about override option, perhaps i'm not in the right place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You speak about override option, perhaps i'm not in the right place? You need to save it in two places. First when applying the shader select the "Apply shader" option, then go to save and select "Save Content Directory Preset" then back out of the shader menu and down to "Overrides" go in there and save a "Content Directory Override". I believe this is a Retroarch bug that has been around for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
