      I recently came across having an urge to use shaders, then realizing it started raising the heat of my pi way more then i expected. So i started looking into overlays as shaders and found a few that work.
      Except i couldn't really find any gameboy/colour that worked well so i sort of hashed 1 up together for fun. Sort of attempted at making it give the feel of corner blocks.

      Anyways anyone who has a 720p setup let me know what you think (best used at 45 Opacity).

        @Omnija Why not lower your oc to 1ghz? My pi2 never overheats @ 1ghz pre setting + 1080p + crtpi shader (for non gb). I'm using one of those generic heatsinks.

        I'm spoiled by the gb pocket shader for pc, so I gave up trying overlays. Last time I checked, no one bothered to port it to the pi.

          @Darksavior It's probably due to your heatsink why mine heats up more (planning on building a custom cooper heatsink + alluminum fins). Normally my pi stays under 65 on any system, but with shaders hits in the 80's which i don't like.

          This shader was also just for fun and to give it some sort of dimension, not really suppose to do anything else .As for The reason why the shader was never ported as a sort of overlay is probably due to it being sort of difficult.
