GeDoSaTo - Downsampling from Infinity and Beyond!
- Thread starter Alo81
- Start date
That actually looks eons better than the ps2 version I played a few years ago.
I tried to downsample Fahrenheit via gedosato but the game freezes every time. (gog + TAG widescreen method) I tried A LOT of different settings, with and without enb. Maybe I should try an older build but I doubt it will make a difference.

Man, doing panoramas with GeDoSaTo is a fucking breeze.
What do you mean by "make it black and white"?
do the monochrome effect thingy so I can eventually get bloom and AO and everything else to work.

Does this work with DX8 games?
Sure, but you'll have to use a custom api which translates the DX8 calls to DX9. Use this one from enbdev: http://enbdev.com/download_convertor_dx8todx9.htm
I managed to get Mafia, Silent Hill 2, GTA, Max Payne (Bouloutaur2024 made some changes to it so it works, you can find it in this thread) and there's a good chance it works with other dx8 games.

Do you know how to fix the awful flickering? I downloaded the newest version and can't downsample as I could with the old one. The image is stretched and flickers like hell. I have all the resolutions properly in the ini file.
Any help yould be appreciated. (trying to run Dishonored if that helps
Thanks

EDIT: Wow, nvm. I didn't even think about that.
If the injectPShash "fires" too soon, that can happen. I haven't looked at those games myself so I don't know if it's possible to fix them. There was a config for LoS that did that as well, but I removed it.
The right half is the hudless shot, but it's also missing the final lighting/bloom/whatever pass.
I think I'm doing this right:
edit: although if I use grain or tonemap, things get a little wonky or blinky. depending of if I'm pointing the camera at the sun or not...like, it works...but...kinda doesn't. weird artifacts. Lasers become walls of laser. If I just have bloom and luma and curves turned on, everything looks pretty good, no strange washed out colors or blinking. I noticed this sort of thing when I was testing with a different PSHash Injector.
comparison shot, and untouched no post processing

Cool, I'll give this a go tonight. Hopefully I can get it working with Star Wars Republic Commando.
Oh, thank you for that. I can use it with Trails in the Sky now (Even though it has a tendency to crash easily)

No D3D8 wrapper works with ED:VI FC without crashing.
Just force AA from your GPU's drivers instead.
With Nvidia cards you don't need any bits and you can force literally any kind of AA in inspector in the game plus you can driver downsample as well.
The game really doesn't need GeDoSaTo.

Star Wars Republic Commando is recognised by gedosato with the use of that DX8 wrapper, but unfortunately it crashes when it loads a level if the wrapper is active. Any ideas on how to make it go?

May want some higher quality images, I can barely tell the difference. They are quite compressed.

Hmmmm nevermind. This doesn't quite work like I thought.
I didn't had any luck with SWRC either so I don't think it works well with the wrapper.

Haha. What?
Surprisingly those PNGs don't look that much clearer. Hah! It must be that early Cry Engine 3 temporal AA causing that rather blurry image quality.
Try an older GeDo version. Seen some scattered report about it crashing with the latest.
Thanks, that worked! I had Beta 10 kicking around.

I'm starting to think GeDoSaTo will need to natively support DX8. (If only for the ability to use post processing shaders. But then you can't use forced hardware AA at the same time)
But to be completely honest, most DX8 games, HQ AA can be forced without issue 9/10 times.
on Nvidia cards anyway. Don't know about AMD cards.
Think someone just needs to make a SweetFX/PP Shader suite for DX8 native.
I had it working back when they had the regular and alternate injection selectable.
I haven't tried with latest builds since it's more of a novelty for me personally.(Since I can't use SGSSAA at the same time)

Playing Halo 1 at 4k with this and I am having trouble getting the post proccessing working (basically sweet fx). Anyone have any luck? For me it only shows the banner that I am downsampling, and not which AA i am in jecting or any of the stuff about post processing or generic deth. How do Iget it to show a more detailed listing of what is going on? I forget.
Thanks for the fix! How are things goin for you in regards to DX11 stuff? Threads been quiet, which usually means a lot of important background progress.

Like you, I assume he's working on some awesome features and is staying quiet until ready =)
Any word on some kind of multi-PSHash functionality?
So far, GeDoSaTo is a pretty amazing tool. I'm pretty impressed with what Durante has achieved here.

Looks like NVIDIA is jumping on the downsampling wagon.

I assume it will work with all flavors of Direct X.

But it needs customization over the downsampling, does DSR feature have it?
Edit: But its an awesome that Nvidia made it possible via its driver package, hopefully AMD will follow suite.
I'm sure it will solve all these issues (as well as mouse input). The driver would have always been the "correct" place to do this, it's much more natural. If NV had done this 1 year ago, I would probably never have started GeDoSaTo.
On the other hand, if GeDoSaTo had never existed, then would we have DSR today? Who knows.
And finally, what the hell is "dynamic" about DSR?

Does anybody have major problems with Dishonored? I donwloaded the newest version (I was using an ancient alpha until now) and the image flickers a LOT and I see just about a 1/4 of the screen. I have all the resolution lined up nicely, any idea what may cause this?

I still love GeDo for the other features. Especially the HUD toggle. And I'm sure its making AMD users very happy. I also have to imagine that DSR is going to have an upper limit whereas GeDo does not.

Does the gedosato prostprocessing work on other games?
I get it how to turn it on in DS2, but what do you do to get it running in others?

Perhaps it works similar to adaptive vsync in that once your performance starts to tank beyond acceptable levels it lowers the res in real time to keep up with performance? We've already seen realtime dynamic resolution tech out of a lot of console games in the 7th gen, like the Ninja Gaiden games, RAGE, etc.

"Only games that lack UI scaling and/or support for resolutions over 1920x1080 are excluded from this feature."

I think its clear, your work forces others to work more.
That would be awsome.

Tried this for the first time with Batman Blackgate and it look sssssooooooooo freakin' good downsampled. This also doesn't cause my TV screen to set itself to Full RGB when i downsample, unlike when i tried downsampling through the nvidia control panel. Thumbs up, Durante!

Yep, GeDoSaTo is completely configurable and card agnostic, so its invaluable, im sure nVidia's solution wont let me supersample triple screen resolutions.
You set it up on a game by game basis now, or you can just make one "general" one that works for every game. It's designed that way so that you can personally apply different PP shaders to different games in a way that best matches their visuals.
If you want a general one
edit the post.fx file in the *GeDoSaTo*\assets folder with whatever shader you'd like to apply and that post processing will apply to every game.
If you want specific ones per game
add the game to your whitelist, and create a folder in the *GeDoSaTo*\config folder that is identical to your games executable name, minus the exe.
ex: RE5DX9.exe would be RE5DX9
Once that folder is created, you can add a post.fx file to that folder and have post processing that applies specifically to that game and allows you to create custom post.fx files per game.
ex: RE5DX9.exe would be RE5DX9
Once that folder is created, you can add a post.fx file to that folder and have post processing that applies specifically to that game and allows you to create custom post.fx files per game.
If you want the exact same post processing as Dark Souls II to apply to every game
Take the post.fx file from the *GeDosaTo*\config\DarkSoulsII folder and place it in the *GeDoSaTo*\assets folder
And of course, make sure that you enable post processing in the GeDoSaTo.ini file as well.
I might love GeDoSaTo more for the other features? What started out as a fairly barebones tool has become really well fleshed out with a lot of great options. The downsampling just feels like one that's part of a vast many at this point.
