MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Re: Migrating old hlsl setup from v0.151 to v0.202

Thanks for your reply, uman. I was starting to feel cold and lonely out here :-)

I tried some more last night and ended up basically giving up and concluding that there was no way to reproduce my HLSL setup on BGFX. I settled for adding more curvature, corner rounding and border smoothing to the crt-geom-deluxe shader which is pretty good in itself. What I could not do was to add vignetting to it. That parameter is not called out in the json file for that shader and just copying the vignette line from another shader to it doesn't make it work.

Is there a solution for that, at least?

For what it's worth, below is the HLSL ini code I was using for raster games.
I got it from the HyperSpin forums and made a few tweaks.

Code:
