is there a way to Sweetfx working with dosbox with crt shader enabled ??

Install SweetFX to the "resource" folder, but move the dll files and injector.ini to the main folder. 🙂

Thank you, it worked 🙂

@jim2point0 The ones you " loved " are in the first post i did, so no difference, my tastes are my tastes as simple as its. @ISTFFShark Hi, yeah i will do that , i got one account there. @IAmGhostDog Hi, i did the same.. removed windows update KB2670838 and it worked.

/*-----------------------------------------------------------. / Vignette settings / '-----------------------------------------------------------*/ #define VignetteRatio 1.00 //[0.15 to 6.00] Sets a width to height ratio. 1.00 (1/1) is perfectly round, while 1.60 (16/10) is 60 % wider than it's high. #define VignetteRadius 1.00 //[-1.00 to 3.00] lower values = stronger radial effect from center #define VignetteAmount -1.00 //[-2.00 to 1.00] Strength of black. -2.00 = Max Black, 1.00 = Max White. #define VignetteSlope 8 //[1 to 16] How far away from the center the change should start to really grow strong (odd numbers cause a larger fps drop than even numbers) #define VignetteCenter float2(0.500, 0.500) //[0.000 to 1.000, 0.000 to 1.000] Center of effect. Can anyone help me fine tune this, i want it to be less pronounced. For example just slight dark cornering, default is a little to dark for my taste. Im using 1080P 16/9 display.

Can we get a lossless PNG of that? That JPG is horribly compressed..

Ah, well usually i'd say just use Fraps or MSI afterburner to get game screenshots in PNG format. This gives you the best quality screenshots you can get. Make sure to upload them to a site where they won't be re-compressed on top of that too. Like Abload.de or Minus.com

Guys how fix it? full path: D:\Resident Evil 6\ redirecting CreateDevice initialising shader environment D3DXCreateEffectFromFile failed try to use "D:\Resident Evil 6\resource" for shader files

ye works tnx

CeeJay i have some problems with sweetFX and some games like Need for speed Most wanted (2012) or the new Resident evil 6.When fullscreen i have to press the "scroll lock" button 25 times or more (or continuously press it) to enable/disable the effects and this also applies when taking screenshots .This doesn't happen on window mode and is very frustrating 🙁 and this problem happened with 1.3v also.

@CeeJay.dk Will you make sweetfx 1.4 compatible with X64 ?

Hi, guys. Anyone got SweetFX working with Resident Evil 6? I get a crash strait to desktop with SweetFX in the main folder where the .EXE is, do I need to put the files in a different folder? EDIT: Never mind, I just found out where to put the files 😀 Put all files in Resident Evil 6\ Resources And you also need to move "d3d9.dll" "dxgi.dll" and "injector.ini" into the Resident Evil 6 main folder Happy zombie shooting 😀

i tried it but it doesn't work for me...it's very strange

hm... SweetFX 1.4 do not work with PCSX2 emulator, but 1.3 work without problems...

It works fine for me Marcel ,just make sure you run the gui (if you use this) as Administrator and also pcsx2 also else it will crash

Hey marcosamerio just put all sweetfx files in the main folder and move "d3d9.dll" , "dxgi.dll" , "injector.ini" into the bin folder, it works fine.Make sure to disable that crappy bloom by going to AppData=>Roaming=>Codemasters=>Clive Barker's Jericho and open Game.cfg file with wordpad (or any editor) and change the line "RT_HDRPostFX" to "0" ,you can also increase the R_ShadowMapsSize to something like 2048 or 4096 for higher quality shadows

fixed the quality image fullscreenborderless image viewer dx9 v1.4 http://ninjafada.com/sweetfx/DX9IVv1.4.7z now working on a windower fixed size based on the size of the image and not the screen so you can open an image bigger than your screen

Great work ninjafada, i really like it 🙂 Definitely a time saver for the games that do not have a window option and you have to ALT-TAB all the time when tweaking with SweetFX

@IAmGhostDog You like giving you a disadvantage in Multiplayer? Pic set 2 best example.

...

A little to vibrant imo and slightly to dark by certain places :] how does it look in night levels? Still a lot of color banding going on? http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4557170&postcount=15

Yes, looks the same to me. Too dark and too vibrant. But I guess everyone's taste is different!

yep you can open the setting on top of the image viewer with the notepad and press pause/scroll lock in the note pad and see the changes in the back ^^ i'm starting a bioshock infinite preset based on screenshots, will adjust later when i'll have the game http://sfx.thelazy.net/games/screenshot/1049/

Yeah that's neat 😀 .I have 2 monitors so it's even easier to experiment with settings having fullscreen image at one and SweetFX at the other

yep fraps was blocking it
