      Hi, I'm a new retropie user (raspberry 3). I'm trying to apply and test some shaders, in particular I want to use the crt shader. I edited the configuration file: turn off smooth video, turn on shader and then I tried to select the shader to use. The problem is that when I select the shader file the list is empty.
      Someone can help me? Maybe I have set the path to the shader directory? How can I do that?
      Thank you

      Retropie version: 4.1
      installed from image

        How did you change the settings / where did you get an empty list - from the configuration editor or ? https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Configuration-Editor

        What version of RetroPie ? Did you install from an image? Can't advise without more information.

            please give me a step by step guide to reproduce it. There are many ways to change these settings.

              yes I went in the configuration editor and then "default options for all libretto emulators". If I try to select the shader file the list is empty.

                @AleCat83 And if you go to retropie-setup -> Configuration / tools -> RetroArch -> Manage shaders - Does it show them as installed or not ?

                    Yesterday I tried looking inside the directories and it seems that the shaders file are in place. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the shaders through the "Manage shader". Nothing, in the configuration I can't choose any shader..

                      @AleCat83 update RetroPie-Setup script and see if it helps.
