Reaper978 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I’d like to upgrade RetroArch in LaunchBox but I don’t want anything to go wrong. I’ve only recently managed to grasp what RetroArch actually is. One other question. How does one set up filters and shaders in MAME? i’d like to use something that makes the screen look like a real arcade screen. Thanks 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I cant help with updating Retroarch through LB, I have never done it. I install and update Retroarch manually. As for Mame stand alone shaders I use my personal HLSL settings which I think gives a very good look overall. Getting something that looks "perfect" for every game is an impossible task since there were so many different display types and resolutions. You can find my settings and how to use them here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper978 Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 Thanks! So how do you go about updating RetroArch manually? I don’t know where you find it since I only use RetroArch through LaunchBox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 You can download it from the libretro website but I would imagine that using the LB updater should just update withou messing up any custom settings you have set though I can't confirm that it won't.

Reaper978 Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 Ok. What do you mean by LaunchBox updater? I’ve looked for the various menus in LaunchBox and can’t find anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find my settings and how to use them here: I put the raster.ini in the \Mame\ini\presets folder. There was also another file in the download called vector.ini. I just put them both in the \Mame\ini\presets folder. I backed up the old ones. The HLSL effect doesn't show up when running in BigBox, it only works when I manually run MAME and select the game that I want. It's a really cool effect, I hope there's a way to get it working in BigBox. Btw, are there any other resources that have custom HLSL MAME shaders? I’d like to try some out and see what I prefer.
