Zoom Shaders

[One More Try]

Someone requested the ability to zoom in on a portion of the screen. I made a few shaders for it. You can extract them and place in Documents/Dolphin Emulator/Shaders or Sys/Shaders

Zoom Quadrant: 2x zoom on upper/lower left/right area of screen (4 quadrants).
Zoom Box: Set zoom level and then set Left and Top to determine the top-left corner of the screen area.
Zoom Free: Set the four corners of the screen area. Will distort image if not a square (making a square is equivalent to Zoom Box).

If the slider accuracy is bad, you can modify the shader file easily - just change the numbers in the upper options area.

The downside is that you need a higher IR for it to look okay, because you are zooming in on pixels. There might be additional features added to dolphin later that work better.

How exactly do I set the bottom value to 85.0 in zoom_free shader? That's a custom value not available with the slider. I've tried editing everything I can't figure it out.

Change StepAmount to 1. You can use the left/right arrow keys on the UI if dragging the slider to an exact number is difficult.

Thank you so much this was driving me nuts. This is an awesome thing to have for the Gamecube versions of Beyond Good and Evil and Resident Evil 4. Do you know of other letterbox gamecube games I could test this on?

Sorry, I'm not sure. I made this for someone else and don't typically use it myself. Good to see more people finding uses for it though.
