GLSL not working
nitrogen_widget:
I can't get GLSL to work.
I've followed the guide here:
http://www.mameau.com/mame-glsl-shaders-setup/
and in this thread:
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,120205.msg1274490.html#msg1274490
but those are for older versions of mame.
I also followed this thread:
http://forums.bannister.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=94188&page=4
ran the commands after downloading the NTSC shader and still nothing.
What happens is If i don't have the shader in the proper folder I get an error saying it can't find the shader.
if I add the shader I get no errors and the game runs, but no shader's are being used.
it's as if their not being enabled or running?
i'm using .153 from my distro PClinuxOS.
I've also tried patched & compiled .157 and .149 on this system and on my 64 bit system.
So I'm pretty sure it's me doing something dumb somewhere. ;D
I've registered a Emuversal but havn't had my account approved yet so can't ask there.
does anyone use GLSL and have any pointers for newer versions of mame?
Thanks in advance.

It works for me on Windows fine. I've never tried it in Linux.

Yep. Same PC dual boots into win7 64 bit and with mameuifx had it working fairly easy.
But, I can't boot win7 off a thumb drive as a live os with persistence so I'd like to get it working on Linux.

GLSL works with 156, using the instructions from mameau.com. Compiling 157 atm.
I would check if you have an accelerated xserver running, with direct rendering
--- Code: ---glxinfo | grep ^direct
--- End code ---

Thanks.
I checked the direct rendering on both my main PC with catalyst and my test system with open-source drivers.
However if I wasn't running accelerated xserver i'd expect to get some kind of error or at least have the game run slow as heck.
I'm wondering if its something on my distribution since it's the only one I use right now.
What OS are you using?
I'll try that.
