Mame HLSL setup
« on: January 21, 2016, 06:23:00 am »
I'm having some trouble getting HLSL working in Mame64 and I have no idea why...

I've followed the instructions here: http://www.videogameperfection.com/2014/07/27/hlsl-for-everyone/

My hlsl_enable is definitely set to 1

But it makes zero difference. I tried just flipping it initially and got nothing so assumed it was just the defaults, but after testing here, same deal...

My ini is posted below... what am i doing wrong? Might i be missing files elsewhere?

So i found the solution over in another thread...

Because I have DirectX 11, I needed to install the DirectX End User Runtime SDK to get DirectX 9.0c updates:

Hey, just curious.. how do you tell if you have both directx 9c and directx 11 installed? Or is that even possible? My DXDIAG says I have directx 11 but I am getting HLSL to work in mame... but through researching the best scaling and HLSL to use, I found people saying you need directx 9 for it to work properly.
