Thank you.
I think it's pretty telling just how crazy some people have gotten that the people standing up for me in this thread are people like you and uman, who I often don't get along with.
Seriously, let's all look at some of the posters in this thread trying to portray me as some fanged monster, shall we?
First we have LensLarque, who has cursed me out and called me names multiple times in the past. Then we have Haze, who makes no secret about his distaste for me, and who I doubt has ever even touched a pixel shader in his life. It strains credulity - it strains the hell out of it - to suggest that either of these people would have suddenly mounted up and started taking reference screenshots if only I had been a bit more polite to them.
No, they came into this thread with the express purpose of not helping. Yet uman, for whom there's even a language barrier when interacting with me, seems to get exactly what I need and why I need it, and has already volunteered to help generate those screenshots when he has the time. Meanwhile, I'm volunteering my time to actually look at these shaders and get them working once I have proper reference shots so I know I haven't introduced any bugs when porting the shaders.
As for Haze's statements about RA supporting sliders or whatnot, as far as I know I'm the one who's spent hours poring over the RA documentation as it pertains to sliders, and exactly how each custom line of Cg gets interpreted, so where exactly does he get off comporting to tell me about how the shaders do or don't work?
Take note, everyone, as this thread provides a great example of why MAME developers get pissy with users sometimes: You'll volunteer to work on something, and still people will come out of the woodwork to drop a turd on you. What a thankless, shit job it is to work on emulators.
