Blur Busters Forums

As of the latest nightly, I've had a pretty decent sized update pushed into RetroArch for its internal software BFI. I am also the author of the previous version of BFI for RA. Available here: https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/

As per my commit notes:

- Adds BFI to dx10/11/12 in general ...

However, the majority of human-visible MPRT motion blur would be proportional to original video game graphics resolution.

And that's what I meant by just effectively making the pixels larger with integer scaling. :)

As they mentioned though, some of the emulation shaders are fairly advanced and ...

I tend to not use the shaders, and just use pure integer scaling myself, so depending on how much they modify things that is a different argument for sure. But by using integer scaling you still have the same low resolution, you've just made the size of the pixels 'effectively' larger.

Instead of ...

Just an fyi, this first version has been merged upstream into RetroArch proper now.

Yes, I am not against the idea at all. I never have an issue with more options existing than I would personally take advantage of. The comma seperated list doesn't exactly match how Retroarch seems to have designed its menu options to be programmed, but you could still easily do a predetermined set ...

The most important difference for me between this software bfi and hardware bfi at 60hz (of which I have 2 screens that can do, one benq and one with the ulmb hack), is that the 60hz flicker is -much- less straining to my eyes with software bfi. With the hardware 60hz strobe I have to use it in a ...

Good news! I have reliably and repeatedly tracked down a major culprit of the intermittent flashing on my system, and now can run for an hour without a single flash, and it wasn't Retroarch itself causing it.

MSI Afterburner was causing it. Not RTSS which I would have understood, with its serious ...

Yes, that is a good point about system speed. I am running an 8700k at a constant 5ghz oc, so solved for my system will still probably be far from solved for weaker systems. (Though I bet the overlap of people with 240hz screens and older systems isn't very high at the moment.)

As for 1000hz ...

I appreciate all the concepts on how to combat the frame miss flashing, and no, you're not talking over my head, but it might be beyond my abilities to implement in a reasonable timeframe as a hobby project currently since graphics/emulation development is so far outside of my normal business ...

I was aware of that BFI v2 post when I made this mod, so I did have intentions to add more advanced BFI patterns. Though I can tell you from use of what I've done already, unless future super high hz displays can no longer sync to as 'low' as 180hz, that On/Off/Off at 180hz is a quite sufficient ...
