http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Custom-Shaders-for-GSdx | A shader is a piece of software that is used to do certain modifications of the GSdx graphic output. For instance: the production of appropriate levels of color, or, to produce post-processing effects. | ||

Since [http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Custom-Shaders-for-GSdx?pid=343285#pid343285 January 2014], GSdx supports the use of an external file (shader.fx) to be used as an external shader, '''separating it''' from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_approximate_anti-aliasing FXAA] shader. This feature is only available for Windows users with graphics cards supporting Dx10 or higher, but people with Dx9 only card can still use the internal [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_approximate_anti-aliasing FXAA] method. | |||
=Installation and usage= | |||
Make sure you have GSdx version 0.1.16 or higher. | |||
'''1)''' Download your shader choice (see list of shaders bellow). | |||
'''2)''' Extract the ''*.fx'' file inside your ''PCSX2'' directory, '''where the main executables are placed'''. | |||
'''3)''' Rename it ''to shader.fx'' (remember to back up the existing ''shader.fx'' file to be restored if needed). | |||
'''4''') Enable the shader | |||
*On the GSdx settings, enable the Use FX Shader checkbox. | |||
*In game, pressing the ''Home'' key. | |||
*Set ''shaderfx=1'' on ''GSdx.ini''. | |||
{{Tip| On ''low end'' systems, the combined use of '''Fx Shader''' and '''FXAA''' or a high custom resolution can cause a performance loss. | |||
Try with settings until you find the one that better suits your need for a particular game.}} | |||

This is a suite of shaders embedded on a ''shader.fx'' file, that can be modifiable by the user. | |||
<br /> The files ''shader.fx'' (the shader itself) and ''GSdx_FX_Settings.ini'' (the shader configuration file) have to be placed on the PCSX2 directory, where the main executables are. | |||
