Title: HLSL not working with MAME 0.173 and DirectX 11
Post by: Carlisimo on July 27, 2016, 12:11:45 pm

My ROMs play fine but no matter what I do I can't get HLSL to work.  I even downloaded a MAME 0.173 package that is specifically configured for HLSL (referenced in this youtube video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg5oD30p768 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg5oD30p768)).   Any suggestions from those who are smarter and better at this than I am?   Is it possible having DirectX 11 is the problem?  Anyone have it working with DirectX 11?  I'm on Windows 7 if that's any additional help.  I would love to see those vintage scan lines on my LCD screen.

Solution:  Looking around I found a 5-year old post by someone who had the same issue.   Even though I have DirectX 11 I needed to install parts of DirectX 9 (which seems odd, but whatever).   This link did the trick:

Now HLSL is working in all of its glory.
