This is a pack of shaders for old-school video game emulators. Copyrights are held by the respective authors.

*NOTE*: This is not a standalone game or emulator. You will not even get an icon in the Android launcher after it is installed. Instead it works as an add-on to compatible emulators.

Most of the shaders are converted from the work of their original authors, in order to make them work on GLES 2.0. Shader files are based on the higan XML shader format version 1.0, with slight changes and enhancements. The format itself is quite straight-forward.

Following shaders are currently included:
• hq2x/hq4x
• 2xBR/4xBR
• LCD3x
• Quilez
• Scanlines
• Motion blur
• GBA color
• Grayscale

Source code is available at https://code.google.com/p/emulator-shaders/
Welcome contributing new shaders to the project! In the meantime, we would also like to see more compatible emulators in the future!

We are currently offering version 1.3.0. This is our latest, most optimized version. It is suitable for many different devices. Free download directly apk from the Google Play Store or other versions we're hosting. Moreover, you can download without registration and no login required.

There's not really much to say. It's a simple app that does a simple thing. And it does is virtually well. I was sent to it by clicking a link in the settings on my "My Old Boy" emu. when I was just screwing around and its actually kinda cool. The filters are simple, easy to apply, and dont affect the gameplay at all. Very nice indeed. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It came packed in with 'My Boy!' GBA emu (even comes included with the free version as well.) Though it only includes, I think 4 or 5 shaders, you can apply them effortlessly and they look great in my opinion. I started up a game of Final Fantasy 6 which is my favorite port of it and the smoothness of and detail you get out of it make it feel pretty fresh and new and add a very clean feel to the quality of the graphics.

It would be great if they added more shaders...

This is great and its worth it to download.

If you have not bought the MyBoy! emulator, downloading this would be useless. Rather than leaving reviews for an app that you have no use for because you don't have the proper emulator to run it with, I suggest you run along your merry way. This is a great shader that goes great with the developer's emulators and it adds more vibrance to the games that I play.

This is good and its just that the one sending bad reviews dont know how to use it. How to use: i recommend my! Boy! Emulator search in google for paid apk so you dont need to pay. Play the gba file. Click the three bars button usually at the top. Click "settings". Click "video" and then scroll down and click "GLSL Shaders" choose whatever you like. I prefer HQx4 myself as it makes everything INCREDIBLY SMOOTH and sharp. Try it!You will enjoy your pokemon or any game more than usual. Overall 5🌟

Amazing shader! Transforms the bland experience of Game Boy games into something pleasant! I especially love the variety of shaders you get and it's only 29 KB! But of course you can't use it if you don't have a Game Boy emulator.
