>Dont want to bother with retroarch
Then I guess youre not fixing it lmao

>>10625215
Just use retroarch retard, it's exactly the same as standalone just with shader support, way more customization, way more features, and better a/v sync

>>10625215
>I want shaders but I don't want to use Retroarch
You'll have to learn how to use Retroarch if shaders are that important to you

>>10625225
>>10625229
k i installed the latest version of retroarch
>spend 10 minutes trying to figure out what to do next because theres no tutorial anywhere except insufferable youtube faggots who drone on about irrelevant shit every 5 seconds
>eventually just try to download core for mGBA as per what the first category says under the "101" on retroarchs website
>"failed to install core"
i fucking hate how fucking autistic this shit is

>>10625215
Which version? I remember the appimage version on linux mounting the shader file to this weird folder you had to navigate too to find them.

>>10625265
lmao he needs a guide. Just use mGBA then

>>10625273
WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS BULLSHIT SAY "DIRECTORY NOT FOUND"
I AM STARING AT THE DIRECTORIES AND THEY ARE ALL THE DEFAULT SETTINGS
WHY THE FUCK WONT IT DOWNLOAD CORES
holy fucking shit i fucking hate modern software and internet everything is fucking retarded and shit

>CONFIG DIRECTORY NOT SET
EXCEPT IT IS YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT
IT IS BY DEFAULT
WHAT THE FUCK

>>10625265
>>10625301
>>10625304
total zoomer death

>>10625306
kill yourself you fucking nigger, this fucking piece of shit is telling me directories arent set when im fucking looking right fucking at each one and they're all fucking set

cant download/install any cores
cant even save a fucking config file
what the fuck is this garbage piece of shit

>>10625309
thats what you and anobody gets from using RetroArch

>in4 WERKS4MEEEEEEE while stealing pasta pics

>>10625318
>run program as administrator
>suddenly it just works

GOOD FUCKING GOD
I JUST SPENT 20 FUCKING MINUTES LOOKING THROUGH BULLSHIT TELLING ME EVERY SINGLE LAST FUCKING DETAIL BEFORE THEY EVEN BEGAN DESCRIBING WHAT I ACTUALLY NEEDED TO DO, JUST TO NOT EVEN EVER MENTION RUNNING IT IN ADMIN MODE TO EVEN GET IT WORKING

HOLY SHITTING FUCK I AM MAD

>>10625321
>20 minutes
*50 minutes apparently
i was so angry i fucking time travelled
jesus shitting christ

>>10625321
>run program as administrator
Are you on wangblows 7 or some shit? Never had to do that on win10

>>10625325
nope, 10, but its not installed on my C drive
fuck i hate being able to find simple instructions for a simple task many people are interested in doing, the modern internet is fucking tranny aids

>>10625328
*not being able to
cant even think straight now, my head is literally spinning

>>10625321
>install program where it doesn't have write permissions
>WTF WHY DOESN'T IT HAVE WRITE PERMISSIONS
>NOTHING I COULD DO!!
why are zoomers such a helpless cause? you can literally just type your troubleshooting issue in the search bar and get the results you need like 95% of the time. There really is no excuse.

>>10625335

>>10625335
why would there not be write permissions just because its not on the C drive??

>>10625336
shut up faggot i installed and used linux 15 years ago because i was bored

>>10625215
I recommend looking up a basic video tutorial

>conplains that he doesn't know how to make shit works
>doesn't want to use YouTube tutorials (i recommend this btw: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGTaokZjTu7iQA6r4GQaaqE9ovTZFQv4z))
Are you retarded?

mgba is really dogshit. i don't understand why people recommend it. if you compare the audio to any other emulator its really bad sounding

>>10625265
Retard

This thread feels like OP is being deliberately obtuse to stir shit. Also asking for shaders? Shame on you. This thread sucks so do Retroarch.

>>10625301
Don't scan content, Anon. Just change the folder directory on RetroArch so that it picks up the folder with all your retro games. Also get mGBA from the core downloader. Afterwards, just play around with shaders.

Look for a YouTube tutorial or something.

>>10626123
Just do manual scan. That way you can have games organized by console and don't need to manually select the core every single time.

>>10625265
I'll never get this whole thing with RetroArch's UI being hard to understand and navigate, and how people need tutorials for it... all you do is go into the online updater and core installer, get all of its cores you actually want, scan your ROMs... and its all you need, you're good to go. Is this just a case of zoomers being tech illiterate? It's odd, since it looks like a lot of boomers hate RetroArch too.

I guess it's not really a generation thing, but it's more about how brainlets of all ages can't figure this stuff out despite it being so easy, I love how RetroArch filters out retards so seamlessly too.

What's the best shader for GBA?

>>10626056
He's actually asking for color correction, which if you emulate GBA without, then I don't really know what to say to you.

>>10627375
simpletex but without the textured background.

>>10627461
This looks more like a shader made to trigger trypophobia plus it looks too washed out (GBA games often look washed out on emulators because they were made to compensate for the dark screen before the SP model)
For me it's lcd-grid with boosted LCD Input Gamma in the parameters to make it less harsh on the eyes

>>10627375
>>10627461
>>10627546
for me? it's lcd-grid-v2-gbc-color-motionblur.glslp

>>10625215
So... is RetroArch for zoomers and the people who hate it are just boomers who can only use the standalone emulators they already know, or is RetroArch for boomers who know computers and zoomers hate if because they're iliterate? I keep getting confused over what's the case.

I love RetroArch by the way, and in my personal case, I'm a zoomer, but I've heard both of these narratives before and it confuses me somewhat.

>>10628238
Unless you're playing on a CRT, adding artificial blur is fucking retarded. Modern displays (even OLED) are already blurry as fuck due to persistence blur.

>>10628843
That's /vr/ for ya.
Like X? You're a boomer.
Like X? You're a zoomer.
Yes, X=X.

>>10627546
They shouldn’t look washed out, they should be highly saturated due compensating for the dark screen.

>>10628843
retroarch has legitimately bad UI design.

>>10628918
Yes, I like shaders but I disable blur for this reason. Maybe if you're using BFI a bit of blur might look okay but I wouldn't know for sure.

>>10629418
I don't see how, it's all divided in categories that make sense and, even without using the search function or looking things up online, finding stuff you need isn't hard, you go from left to right to find the proper category, then you scroll to find the sub-category that fits what you want, all you do is look and follow your intuition and you'll see that everything's where it has to be, it's so easy.

When did this whole "RetroArch has bad UI" turn into a staple? I see it around all of the time and it kept me from trying out RetroArch for years, and then I did and instantly figured it all out easily.

It's the same as any other emulator UI I've used, with the exception that it's more suited for use of controllers, which is what I use when I emulate anyways, so it's very much perfect for me there.

>>10629401
It's the opposite.

>>10628918
Dunno about the GBA but some GB games like Trip World need some form of interframe blending for some fake transparency effects done with flickering

>>10625215
Not him but retro arch on the vita or switch works like a charm. It's super easy to set up. I've not installed it on pc because for some reason it was a pain in the ass on pc while it was piss easy on handheld.
What makes the pc version different?

>>10630110
>it was a pain in the ass on pc while it was piss easy on handheld
I'm assuming because the GUI was different? You can change that in settings if you prefer the XMB menu
