Different shaders (other than bloom2.post) in Aali's Custom Graphic 0.8.1b

[Legolas]

Hi,

I've scoured everywhere trying to find compatible shaders to place in the shaders directory.  What I'd really like is a shader that delivers a CRT scanlines effect to the screen to mimic playing on a TV.  However, I've only managed to stumble across one other shader other than bloom2.post that works.  Am I missing something?  Is there a repository somewhere of different shaders that will work with this graphics driver?

Thanks for any help and assistance you can provide.

Here you go mate.

There used to an be active user named Asmodeon on here who worked on some pretty cool shaders.  I dunno if he ever plans on finishing them but he hasn't released anything since 2012.  This is his latest shader.  You can comment out some of these features but unfortunately I don't think he ever implemented scanlines.  He mentioned something about a bug with Nvidia cards though.
Here it is

I have also had some desire to port over shaders from RetroArch.  I also got this crazy idea to implement FF7 as a RetroArch core.  That probably won't be possible though until something like q-gears.  Anyway, unfortunately I think that's about all we have as far as shaders for now.

Thanks a lot for including the link!  It's a shame that there aren't more shader files.  By the way, is that all the files that came with that particular shader?  For some reason it isn't working for me.  I put the shader file in the shader directory and edited the ff7_opengl.cfg file to point to the ComplexMultiShader.post file, but it's giving me errors that it won't even load it.  Here is the APP.LOG:

Yeah unfortunately there is a major bug with Nvida cards.  I just noticed Kaldarasha made an attempt to fix this bug.

This is his file and it may or may not work for you.

Here is an old discussion on the topic, you might be able to find more files there I haven't look through it thoroughly.  Just don't necro the thread lol.

I think it is possible to use the shaders from Pete's GPU psx graphic plugin, but it would need some work to make them workable with Aali's driver.

This is true I have already tried several shaders made for pete's and though they load they do not execute the desired behavior.
