ArcCabView 2.0 Released !!! This is not only an update, the shader itself is nearly the same as 1.1a, but for the rest: it's not the same as before !! 😄 So I made a full launcher, this is not only a launcher, this is a complete tool to install the shader and to set the game. How to use : - Extract the full archive in your game folder or in its own folder (remove the previous ArcCabView.ini file from the game root folder if there is already an old one) - Run "ArcCabView_launcher.exe" and set when asked the "true game exe" (the real game process), the "launcher exe" (if there is one to run) and the command to send (if there are some parameters to send) - The launcher will now try to run the game and to take some usefull informations. Just wait it should take a few seconds (max 40s) and don't touch anything during this period. - If everything is ok the game will start again with the settings known and defined during the first launch already applied. (if not some instructions could be given to help) The settings will be kept and can be used later without the launcher. But without the launcher some features can be missing (screen rotation and window maximization) If you are running the launcher from its own directory, some shortcuts will be created to acces the settings of the last game launched and to run/reset all the games already set. Portrait mode will be used if your screen display is in portrait mode but it can be forced using PortraitMode=1 in the ini or by sending "-p" to the launcher. The setup can be reset by sending "-r" to the launcher. Download folder : https://app.mediafire.com/5ttx0loy7lzfy Games already completely set (the original exes should be used) : - Arcana Heart 2 Suggoi (AC) - Arcana Heart 3 LoveMax SixStars (AC) - Battle Princess Madelyn (PC) - Blazing Chrome (PC) - Caladrius AC (AC) - Chaos Breaker (AC) - Dark Awake (AC) - Cursed Castilla EX (PC) - Daemon Bride Additional Gain (AC) - Darius Burst (AC) - DeathSmiles II (AC) - Elevator Action Death Parade (AC) - GigaWing Generations (TTX) - GuiltyGearXX Accent Core Plus R (AC) - Homura (AC) - Hyper Street Fighter 2 (AC) - Infinos Gaiden (PC) - Kamui (PC) - KOF Sky Stage (AC) - Mario And Sonic Olympic Games (AC) - Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code (AC) - MetalSlug XX (PC) - Power Instinct 5 (AC) - Psychic Force 2012 (AC) - R-Type Dimensions EX (PC) - Raiden III (AC) - Raiden IV (AC) - Raiden V (PC) - Rolling Gunner (AC) - Senxin Aleste (AC) - Shikigami No Shiro III (AC) - Sonic Dash Extreme (AC) - Space Invaders (AC) - Street Fighter III 3rd Strike (AC) - Street Fighter Zero 3 (AC) - Super Alpin Racer (AC) - The King Of Fighters 2002 UM (AC) - The King Of Fighters 98 UM (AC) - The King Of Fighters Maximum Impact Regulation A (AC) - The Rumble Fish 2 (AC) - Trouble Witches AC (AC) - Vampire Saviour (AC) - Yatagarasu (AC) I let you try As you can see most of the the most difficult games to run are already set and should work perfect If you have a custom exe, just check the GameClones.ini and do the same in ArcCabView ArcCabView\UserClones.ini(that way it won't be erased with next updates) If you want to create more configs just check the GameBase.ini and do the same in ArcCabView\UserBase.ini (that way it won't be erased with next updates) Please keep me informed about your results I thinks it's now better to put ArcCabView in its own folder, shortcuts will be created and it will be even more easy to setup. https://www.mediafire.com/file/4tsdx69cwuc4rvb/ArcCabView_Launcher_generic_2.0.rar/file PS : I didn't test anything using TP, btw it should be working as in most case ArcCabView launcher won't be needed anymore after the first launch and also ArcCabView launcher can Launch TP to run the game Edit "discrete update" 2: - Readme and GameBase.ini updated (should fix Elevator Action Death Parade => Edit2: now it should be and Super Alpin Racer too!) - UserBase.ini and UserClones.ini created for the example (won't be in the next updates)

J'ai pas vraiment retouché à l'effet depuis la 1.1a mais le shader a un peu évolué. C'est surtout le package qui va évoluer. Là je teste et je fixe au fur et à mesure... Ca peut être dispo ce soir comme dans une semaine, ca va dépendre des problèmes que je rencontre

Cool que ca vous plaise ^^ Là je suis en train de peaufiner ArcCabView ReShade. désormais il s'installera tout seul au premier lancement avec déjà quelques paramétrages

Avec ces ses shaders plus haute est la résolution de l'écran et mieux c'est oui. Par contre l'inconvénient c'est que ca prend un peu de puissance ces effets en UHD... Faut une bonne carte graphique

La courbure est assez forte, la luminosité aussi et les noirs sont plus complètement noirs et les pixels restent affichés en écran noir. C'est aussi ce qui rend bien mais ca moire plus (enfin ca moire pas plus qu'avant mais ca se voit plus...) Mais oui si le jeu a une trop forte résolution on peut vraiment rien y faire ca va moirer à mort. (à partir de 1/3 de la résolution de ton écran sur chaque axe en gros à partir de 640x360 sur un écran FullHD). Faudrait un écran 4K pour ces jeux ou alors désactive l'effet CRT pour ces jeux avec la chain "NoCRT"

faudrait une image en taille réelle et vous utilisez la dernière version?

ok it was a little dark, so I updated the files with better contrast, brightness, halation, reflection and overlay. The balance appears to be good like that Everything is updated to 1.2a. @SafurPlease tell me if it's better for you too

C'est juste une image artwork\ArcCabView\overlay.png Attention, pour simplifier la création d'un overlay qui accentue la courbure, l'alpha de celui-ci est traité comme exponentiel. Donc pour que ca rende bien faut faire un overlay qui évolue du centre aux extrémités avec un alpha linéaire (bien plus simple à faire du coup) Essaie avec celui-là ca devrait déjà être beaucoup moins sombre : Ou celui-là qui devrait être un juste milieu: Sinon si tu veux carrément l'enlever soit tu édites toutes les chains ArcCabView en désactivant l'overlay, ou plus simple: tu effaces le contenu de l'image overlay pour la rendre totalement transparente (par contre efface juste le contenu de l'image et pas l'image elle même, si t'effaces l'image le shader ne marchera plus... il aime pas quand il trouve pas ses textures... capricieux ce shader! lol) Edit 1: D'ailleurs comme le brightness de mame ne fait pas des merveilles (chez moi il massacre le rendu en faisant des démarcations), j'ai rajouté un brightness au shader, par défaut il est à "0.1" dans la plupart des chains, mais tu peux essayer d'éditer les chains en le mettant à 0.2 ou 0.3 par défaut si ca te va mieux Edit 2: Et pour ceux qui n'aiment pas trop les pixels au rendu "carré" et qui préfèrent des scanlines avec une résolution sur x moins marquée, la chain "ResX2" peut être une bonne solution (à utiliser avec les jeux dont la résolution sur x est faible comme la neogeo ou la megadrive par example, et à éviter avec ceux dont la résolution sur x est un peu forte comme le pgm par exemple)

ArcCabView_MAME_BGFX_Chain v1.2 is available! This time this is not a small update! A big part of the chain/shader has been rewritten. I spent nearly the full night on it but most known "issues" should be now resolved with this version : - CRT moire effect has been substancially reduced. - Performances have been greatly improved!!! (it could be more than 2 times faster than before) (now it shouldn't be more slow than the original BGFX CRT-Geom Deluxe shader) Ready to use ArcCabView pack with the custom MAMEUI 0.241 included (do a clean install and use the full archive content) : https://www.mediafire.com/file/y6pk9jlx383ptw3/ArcCabView_MAMEUI64_0.241_v1.2a.rar/file ArcCabView BGFX Shader only (to use with any recent MAME versions) : https://www.mediafire.com/file/u7mgko3s8frrjq1/ArcCabView_MAME_BGFX_Chain_v1.2a.rar/file Disregarding the moire effect improvement, for the rest the visual result should be nearly the very same as the very last 1.1 discrete update released a few days ago. The performance improvement doesn't reduce the quality at all, and in fact at the opposite, the overall result should be a little better than before! It will be most probably the last update of this BGFX version for a moment now. Thanks for your support! Enjoy! 😎

Non pas volontaire du tout 😄 Bien au contraire et c'est même le gros défi avec ces shaders car c'est une misère à essayer d'estomper...

les plus : une frame, une reflexion sur la frame, la possibilité de recadrer l'affichage avec les overscans/offsets du shader, un overlay, un meilleur hallo, un meilleur rendu, un meilleur éclat, la possibilité de courber sans effet CRT, des presets déjà faits avec les settings principaux... les moins : demande plus de ressources, moire un peu plus... En gros t'as sensiblement le même rendu qu' ArcCabView Reshade (les options de taille d'affichage et de bezel en moins car elles sont gérées directement par MAME)

Merci ça fait plaisir Il y a juste encore un problème que j'aimerais bien résoudre: ça moire trop!!! Idem pour la version Reshade: CRTGeomMOD moirait moins... Mais c'est pas évident à régler comme soucis: le truc c'est qu'on courbe l'affichage plus tard à cause de la réflexion (sinon c'est un vrai casse tête) mais on perd l'avantage de l'oversample et ça se voit bien...

That's why there is a Neo304 (for 304 pixels width Neogeo games). But in fact if you were using the build I share the neogeo resolution is already fixed by default for all these games. Also if you were using the full packs most of these games are already set to use the good chain in the ini\presets\xxxxx.ini (all the tekken games for example and also soulcalibur, tmnt2, ddragon,...) PS: Offcourse I can't set all the games (they are examples) but it's easy, when you have such screen problems, play ingame with the overscan/offsets sliders of the bgfx chain, remember the values and create a new chain with them to use with this game

and what about using the ArcCabView_tekken they are already set with overscans and offsets to match the screen 😎 (same for most other "ArcCabView_romname" chains) for the performances they are faster/better chains (1.0 was set to faster, 1.1 is better by default but yes it can be slow) just overwrite with faster chains and it will most likely resolve your performances issues

very very small changes it's v1.10001 😄 the halation looks a little better than before and cornersmooth has been increased from 75 to 90.

ArcCabView_MAMEUI64_0.241 is available (Nearly just updated, a few very small changes, the bgfx chain only was updated too)

So not sure I understood but I think you are still in landscape mode and your screen is rotated 90CCW. So remove the neogeo/progear/ddonpach/darius/darius2d artworks examples I put in artwork folder and extract this in your ArcCabView MAME install (a clean install) and everything should work for a cabinet in portrait mode like that

I will check, but it should be very easy to change. what about your window display orientation? you are still in landscape or in portrait mode? the frame.png is displayed, it's just cut when curvature is disabled. If you want the frame to be disabled just set frame_size to 0.0;0.0 you also have a Flat setting, but in fact just copy bgfx\chains\arccabview.json and create a new setting by just changing the default values as you want (all the ArcCabView_xxxx.json in chains are mostly examples, you can do your own ones and set them as you want by changing the default values of each setting) The slider values of the chains are not saved but you can play with them using the chains available and when you find a good slider setting matching your need just edit the .json or create a new one using these values as default

It should work... - at defauft 75.0 : - at 175.0 :

in fact you have more than the frame image to update if you want to change the frame. You have to edit "frame_size" and "ReflectionFallOff" in the preset (or in ReShade UI) For your problem in can be resolved by increasing the "cornersmooth" value

ArcCabView generic (ReShade shader) updated to 1.1 - CRTGeom code updated with last cgwg's improvements - Brightness and black dots render have been improved when using CRT effect - Bloom effect improved to catch the screen dots and to look more realistic with CRT effect - The alpha value of the overlay image is now exponential - The frame image has been updated (the border sizes are smaller than before) - A few minor fixes/changes And ArcCabView BGFX chain for MAME has been updated to 1.1 too (chain and MAMEUI pack) Enjoy

https://www.mediafire.com/file/4f380l2fu2f9b0d/ArcCabView_MAMEUI64_0.240.7z/file écrase tout avec ca et efface les anciens ini\mame.ini et ini\presets\mame.ini normalement ca devrait aussi régler le probleme des ini de MAMEUI en passant. tu me diras ce que tu penses de l'effet, j'ai changé pas mal de petits trucs...

ben il y 2 jours il y a eu ça : https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/4dff3746feb1b5b8278480a2f3e004ea9a11d2fa et c'est vrai que le mois de février est un peu court alors je pensais attendre et faire une 0.241 directement... Mais bon je vais t'uploader un patch quand même

Thanks! You can change d and R in bgfx\effects\ArcCabView\arccabview.json (you can open and edit with notepad)

I just tested, you can use our 64bits dll (renamed d2d1.dll) to force any resolution above 1920x1080 but you can't get the game running below (at least without a launcher...)
