This repository contains my attempt at an LCD shader for Magpie inspired by the feel of playing a game on a Nintendo DS. It is intended for low resolution games using 3x scaling.
Screenshots from Hardcoded, a queer NSFW game. Sorry, it was the only game I could find to use as an example.
- Download and extract Magpie.
- Drop Bibu_LCD_3x.hlsl into the effects folder inside of your Magpie folder.
- Create a new scaling mode with the Bibu_LCD_3x effect.
- If you want a pixel-perfect look, set the scaling type to Factor and adjust the scaling factors accordingly.
- If you want the program to fit to the screen, set the scaling type to Adjust.
- Make a profile for the program you want to use the effect with and set the scaling mode to the one you created.
- Press the Scale keybind from Magpie in the program you configured to make it fullscreen.
- I had no experience with shaders prior to the making of this project, so I made heavy use of Chat GPT to get it to a working state. Things may not be perfect.
Feel free to use this shader however you like. Credit isn't required, but would be appreciated when sharing or using it publicly.
