Presentation
RetroArch is shipped with a lot of shaders. There is an overwhelming array of them and we can't show all of them on this page.

Here are a few common examples:
Shaders can also be used to display the handheld border:
Shader languages and shader presets
Shaders are small programs, and they are written in specific programming languages. RetroArch supports 3 of these languages:
- CG: Old, deprecated format. Might not be available if RetroArch is built without Cg runtime support.
- GLSL: Shader format available to OpenGL. Wide range of platforms including phones and tablets.
- Slang: New and recommended shader format, when available. Compatible with Vulkan, Direct3D 10/11/12, OpenGL Core, WiiU and Metal renderers.
Depending on your platform and the way you have configured RetroArch, you need to use one of these shader types.
RetroArch is also able to stack these shaders to create a combined effect. These complex effects are saved with a special extension:
- .cpg for CG
- .glslp for GLSL
- .slangp for Slang
The shader presets can also have parameters. This means that you can tweak them to fit your needs.
Downloading and upgrading shaders
You can download or upgrade the shader packs for the 3 types in Main Menu->Online Updater.
Loading a shader preset
To enable a shader preset, you need to have a game running.
You then trigger the menu and you should see a Shaders entry in the Quick Menu.
Go to Load Shader Preset and choose a preset file.
For this example, we used shaders_glsl/crt/crt-geom.glslp.
Configuring a shader
In this example, we have set the Menu Shader pipeline to OFF and the Background Opacity to 0 in the Settings->User Interface->Menu to be able to preview the parameter changes in live.
Load a game and apply a shader preset that supports parameters like shaders_glsl/crt/crt-geom.glslp.
You then trigger the menu and you should see a Shaders entry in the Quick Menu.
Go to Preview Shader Parameters and start playing with the values.
When you are happy with your changes, you can save them under a new preset file.
RetroArch enables you to play games online. You can challenge players around the world and compete on classic games like Mario Kart, Bomberman, Street Fighter, or team up on games like Streets of Rage or Sonic 3.
RetroArch relies on peer-to-peer networking to reduce network latency and ensure the best possible experience.
The lobby
The most convenient way to try netplay is to use the lobby inside the menu.
You need an active internet connection and a router that supports UPnP port forwarding.
You will also need to own the same ROM as your partner and have it scanned and in your playlists. We recommend ROMs from the No-Intro sets.
To join a netplay room in the lobby, just refresh the room list and press A on a room entry.
To host your own netplay session, press A on Start netplay host and a room will be created and announced publicly.
This lobby will also work for local rooms (on your home local network).
Manual netplay
Project 64 Retroarch
Advanced users have the possibility to setup netplay manually.
The Network Settings enables you to tweak how the network code will behave when you are acting as Server.
If you don't need NAT traversal, it can be disabled in the settings.
When you are acting as client, most of these settings will have no effect. The only things you will have to set will be the Server IP.
After you have configured netplay as you wish, launch a game and use:
- Start netplay host to act as server
- Connect to netplay host to act as client
