RETRO...G2GLSL(6)
π NAME π
retroarch-cg2glsl β ok bestie, it's a shader converter. That's it, that's the whole vibe β¨
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
retroarch-cg2glsl [Cg file] [GLSL file output]
retroarch-cg2glsl [Cg directory] [GLSL directory output]
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So here's the tea, babes: retroarch-cg2glsl takes your Cg shaders and turns them into GLSL shaders. Glow-up of the century, honestly π
It can do a single shader, or it can do a whole folder structure in batch β like, it will not leave a single file behind, she's thorough. Obsessed with her work ethic fr fr π«Ά
Now, lowkey important: 100% compatibility is not guaranteed, but almost all shaders should work fine. So likeβ¦ don't panic, it's giving reliable, just not promising reliable, yk? π
And the Cg presets (.cgp)? Those are not converted at the moment π But converting them is literally as simple as:
- copy over the
.cgp - rename it to
.glslp - replace references to
.cgfiles with.glsl
That's it. Main character DIY moment π
Heads up bestie: this whole thing requires Python 3 and cgc (nvidia-cg-toolkit) 3.1. No tools, no glow-up π
π EXAMPLE COMMANDLINES π
Convert a Cg shader to GLSL shader π
retroarch-cg2glsl prog.cg(p) prog.glsl(p)
Convert a Cg directory to GLSL directory β
retroarch-cg2glsl cg-dir out-xml-shader-dir
And that's the whole page, bestie π this little icon of a manual is from the System Manager's Manual, it's RETROARCH-CG2GLSL version dated July 10, 2014, and it lives in section RETRO...G2GLSL(6) β periodt, no notes, slay β¨π§
