Problems with shader configuration

Hi there,

i am new to emulation and Retrobat and might need some help.

So far games are running just fine. Then i downloaded some fancy cyberlab shaders from the "Content Downloader" in Retrobat.
I can select them in the menu but none of them seem to work. The standard shaders all work great.

Did i miss something?

Hello and welcome here.

What are your computers spec ?
Are you using OpenGL or Vulkan ?
Which system are you testing ? With which emulator and which settings ?

Thanks mate,

the computer is relatively new. It has a 6800XT in it so It should handle more heavy shaders. At least i hope so...
So far i left everything at "Auto" and did not change anything.
Is it common than some emulator cores dont run with every shader?

I think i can answer my own question now. Not every emulator works with every shader.
I played a bit with the settings. Switched the emulator from "auto" to "libreto snes" and the driver setting to vulcan and now it works flaweless.

Thank you so much sir!!

Okay i think problems are still there. I did not notice at first because i only played amiga games so far and amiga works without issues.

Heres the thing. I had to to enable Vulkan drivers to be able to activate mega bezels. So far so good.
Today i tried some snses and megadrive games and they all run in half speed. At first i thought the shaders are too heavy for whatever reason. Tried z-fast shader. Still stuttering. Tried without shaders. Still stuttering at half speed. Only changing video drivers to openGL helped. So it seems Vulkan has its issues.

Did anyone have similar problems with Vulkan and Retrobat? This is starting giving me serious headache.

No, vulkan works fine here on the systems you have listed

Hmm okay, guess i have to keep tinkering with the settings till it works

shaders like megabezel use tons of resources in my experience (i cant use them on my arcade machine which i use a nvidia 1650) try different shaders they don't all have the same requirements. I use the koko shaders on my arcade machine with the bezel project bezels, works good for all the systems in retroarch.
