Shader Notes

These shaders work with the OGL2 gpu plugin and require a compatible graphics adapter. They provide various effects like anti-aliasing and resolution scaling for emulated PlayStation games. The document provides information on the settings and games recommended for different shaders, such as SaL for AA, 2x/4xGLSL for resolution scaling, and cartoon shaders for adding outlines and modifying colors.

Shaders from this pack work with the OGL2 gpu plugin from Pete Bernert (www.

pber
nert.com).
Make sure you've got a new OGL2 plugin version and a pixel shader 2.0 compatible
gfx. adapter.
Read the OGL2 plugin documentation for more info.
SHADER NOTES:
***SaL shader***
- replace standard fullscreen smoothing in some situations
- very fast AA shader (try lesser effect levels for AA)
- looks nice with 2xSaI textures (lvl.2) in higher resolutions
- looks nice with standard filtering (lvl.2) in high resolutions
- Prefered settings: 2xsai textures (no texture filtering), lvl.2 texture filter
ing, no fullscreen smoothing
- Prefered games: can be used with most games
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------***2xGLSL shader***
- can be used with diferent internal resolutions
- best suited for 2xresolutions of the PSX native mode. (like 640x480)
- Prefered settings: normal textures, no texture filtering, no fullscreen smooth
ing, shader level 4
- Perfered games: sprite games
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------***2xGLSLHqFilter shader***
- nice adaptable smoothing
- quite slow, usually fast enough in 640x480
- can be used with diferent internal resolutions
- best suited for 2xresolutions of the PSX native mode. (like 640x480)
- Prefered settings: normal textures, no texture filtering, no fullscreen smooth
ing, shader level 4
- Perfered games: sprite games
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------***4xGLSL shader***
- best suited for 4xresolutions of the PSX native mode. (like 1280x960)
- Prefered settings: normal textures, no texture filtering, no fullscreen smooth
ing, shader level 4
- Perfered games: sprite games

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------***4xGLSLScale shader***
- best suited for 4xresolutions of the PSX native mode. (like 1280x960)
- does not interpolate colors (at least not for human eyes :) )
- Prefered settings: normal textures, no texture filtering, no fullscreen smooth
ing, shader level 4
- Perfered games: sprite games
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------***4xGLSLHqFilter shader***
- does some nice looking adaptable smoothing
- can be used with diferent internal resolutions
- best suited for 4xresolutions of the PSX native mode. (like 1280x960)
- Prefered settings: normal textures, no texture filtering, no fullscreen smooth
ing, shader level 4
- Perfered games: sprite games (original), combined sprite/3D 320x240 native res
. games (lite)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------***OGL2Lookup shader***
- observes the emulated OGL2 plugin render buffer first hand and real-time :)
- best used to determine game resolutions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------***Color Shader***
- can adjust rgb channel intensity, brightness, contrast (diverse contrast funcs
.), saturation.
- can/must change the values in the fragment file
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------***AA-Color shader***
-

can/must change the values in the fragment file for color settings
Look nice with cards incapable of VeryHigh-X internal res. (shader level 2)
Prefered settings: filtered textures, shader level 2
Perfered games: 320x240 games with some 3D gfx.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------***(Colored)Storybook shaders***
-

Artistic shaders
the attached "gpuPeteOGL2_t1l.tga" file must be placed in the shaders folder
may look better with filtering or/and fullscreen smoothing
Prefered settings: shader lvl. 2-4, texture filterin 2, fullscreen smoothing
Prefered games: games with 3D gfx.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------***CARTOON SHADERS***
-the "Class C" shaders are quite fast and should work nice with most of the adap
ters.
-the "Class B" shaders are a bit slower, but have better (smoother) edge detecti
on.
-advanced Cartoon shaders: customisable black borders + two types of colour redu
ction.
Class B and C:
Cartoon shaders I:
- add dark outlines on detected edges
Cartoon shaders II:
- add dark outlines on detected edges
- do some colour "reduction" for even better contrast
Cartoon shaders III:
- add dark outlines on detected edges
- can adjust colour contrast and saturation
- Prefered settings: shader lvl. 2-4, texture filtering 2, fullscreen smoothing
- Prefered games:games with 3D gfx.
