      I wanted to display the crt-pi-curvature shader. For that I went and configured the default options for all libreto emulators. This worked for both my
      lr-parallel-n64 and lr-genesis-plus-gx games, but I've already tried everything I could and I don't seem to be able to make the lr-beetle-psx core cooperate with me. For some reason no shader appears whenever I try to load one within Retroarch while a game is open, even though I'm 100% sure they exist. As I've already said, this doesn't happen with the other emulators.
      Amongst some things I've tried is: changing the configuration of the psx itself instead of the global one, and I've also changed the video drivers from glcore to just gl. I've already updated the Retroarch-Setup script too.
      I apologize in advance because the solution is probably something really stupid, but I'm tired and need help.

      Anyways, here is some relevant information:

      Hardware: X64 PC
      Retropie version: 4.7.1
      Built from: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
      Controller used: Dualshock 4
      Verbose log: https://pastebin.com/Feh461Kb
      File: (probably) /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg
      Emulator: lr-beetle-psx
      attachment of config files: https://pastebin.com/n4eu8dz8

        If you are not using outdated versions of retroarch & lr-beetle-psx, glcore will always be forced when you set gl, meaning you'll need slang shaders. If you set vulkan you'll also need slang shaders.

        The only way you could use glsl shaders (and i think that's what you are trying to do, and they are not visible, which is perfectly normal) would be with the software renderer.

        Edit : yeah, from your config file, it seems you are trying to load glsl shaders :

        video_shader = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/shader/retropie/crt-pi.glslp"
        

        Are slang shaders installed on retropie by default ? I'm not sure
        Apparently RetroPie has no script to install slang shaders, meaning you must clone them manually from https://github.com/libretro/slang-shaders

          @barbudreadmon So basically, I just need to search for this slang shaders. Did I get that right?
