Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Good morning to you all!
Well, I warn right now, I’m French, and a bad English student (no, no there is no connection between these two facts Big Grin

)...so it’s google that translates (yes, bad)

Then, sorry if I’m writing in the wrong section, I’m a young puppy here, I don’t know yet where I have to pee Wink

I’ve been working on a cocktail table that will contain several emulators, including Dolphin. I try to use a shader that works with all emulators.... except Dolphin Huh

.
[color=#000000]The goal of this shader is to duplicate the image of the game in mirror, so that two players face to face each have the image of the game in the right direction. I have tinkered with an image to make you understand what the shader does:[/color]

[Image: mirror-wii.jpg]

[color=#000000]When I use it everywhere, no problem.[/color]
[color=#000000]When I use it on Dolphin, I get this message:[/color]

Code:
error c3001 no program defined

Does anyone here know (at least a little) about shaders?

Thank you in advance.

Whether or not a shader or injection method will work depends heavily on the specific details of them... which you haven't provided any of yet. So it's impossible for us to help you with it until you share those details with us. So um, share the shader and your injection method, and we'll see?

Very useful answer Wink

Here is the code of the shader :

The injection method is (I didn’t think there were many) indicated in the attached photos:

And here is the result when starting a game:

This code has been written for retroarch, and it works very well under retroarch.

Three hypotheses :
- Or Dolphin does not recognize certain functions specific to Retroarch
- Or Dolphin does not recognize certain variables specific to Retroarch
- I may not know anything about it and that is not the problem at all Big Grin

The Dolphin version used in RetroArch is not fully the same as the official dev builds afaik. So yeah, expect things like this to happen.

You will have to modify the shader so it can work with official Dolphin builds.

I suspected a little that we would have to grope a little Wink

Where can I find documentation, or help on how to write a shader for Dolphin?
