wemr97dl Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I have been using the reshade manager plugin for awhile and it is working well, was going to set up a new system and all the posts are gone. I was wondering if anyone had any documentation from the first post just to keep as reference, and wondering why the developer pulled it??

C-Beats Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 The user that had the plugin made for him (and subsequently added it to the forums) decided to part ways and took down the posts before doing so. We simply respected his wishes. I believe @Fry actually developed the plugin. He may be willing to reupload, but that's entirely up to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fry Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Oh weird. I'm not sure why it was taken down. You can find the source code and releases for the plugin here: https://github.com/AtomFry/LaunchBoxReShadeManager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fry Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) There's a second github repo that has the supporting configuration files: https://github.com/AtomFry/LaunchBoxReshadeManagerSupportingFiles/releases The 1st repo that I posted has a pretty decent readme on how to use it. I know next to nothing about ReShade so I won't be able to support the plug-in much from that aspect. NoHero was the brains behind the ReShade content. My role on this project was to just to develop the code that copies the ReShade files from the ReShadeManager folder to your emulator folder when a game launches so that the correct bezel will be shown. If anyone knows anything about ReShade and wants to take over the supporting files repo, I'd be happy to turn it over.

gabrielenguard Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Would anyone know how to just add an overlay/bezel in reshade without the plugin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wemr97dl Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 You would have to install reshade yourself this might work for you http://www.emuline.org/topic/2598-arccabview-display-your-arcade-games-just-as-you-want/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fry Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Just in case it helps, you can look at the link I posted above with the supporting files (you can download ReShadeManager.zip) and it contains configuration files that were put together by nohero, the guy who had the original idea for the plug-in. What the plugin does is copy those files to game's emulator application folder when you launch a game. Those files contain the configurations that are used to add an overlay to each of those emulators. The settings are emulator specific but the plugin lets you override them at the platform or game level. The files are all duplicated for game or platform and you can just change out the bezel image if you want a different image for a game or platform. At the end of the day, the configurations are really emulator specific and it's just copying those configuration files to the emulator folder. I don't know much about how nohero created those files but I know the configurations are in there. So if you download that zip file and go into the emulators folder, you will see Dolphin for example. Everything in that folder gets copied to the folder where your dolphin.exe is. The reshade.ini file has the configurations that point to where the other files are and the dxgi.dll and shaders\bezel.fx and shaders\reshade.fxh are what make the magic happen.

Morris Schaffer Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Hi guys, I downloaded this version of reshade manager that Fry linked to. I'm super happy because finally I got CRT effects and bezel for Model 2 emulation. There is a caveat though. When I try to import other shaders with extension fx and store them in the shaders folder, I get an error msg when I open my reshade UI in game, the msg says 'there were errors compiling the following shaders' followed by a list in red font of all the shaders I placed under the shaders folder (LaunchBox\Emulators\Sega Model 2\reshade-shaders\Shaders). I know there is a log tab, but not sure what to make of "error x3000; Syntax error; unexpected". Any idea? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fry Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 As I recollect from the fellow who originated this plug-in concept, I think the version of reshade that we were redistributing with the plug-in was a special version that was only for bezels. I'm not sure if it supports other types of shaders. This may have something to do with why he eventually took those files down. I don't know much about reshade but if somebody does, they could probably replace all of the reshade files in the LaunchBox\ReshadeManager folder with a different version of Reshade that does both the bezels and the other shaders properly and there shouldn't need to be any change to the plugin since it will just copy and replace whatever files are in the LaunchBox\ReshadeManager folder over to the emulator folder on game launch.

darkseekerliu Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Hi Guys, just would like to thank you for Reshade Manager. I managed to get it working and the bezels per game works very well. Thank you. Hope this plugin can still be maintened. By thew way, I used the latest reshade from official site and it works fine (only applied bezels).
