DunArd's Preset
Hi! I'm new here, thanks to all GBAtemp community for their great work making progress in switch hacking.
Well, after many tests, changing parameters and restarting the game many times, I've come to what I think is the best preset I could create and I would like to share it to get impressions.
These are some of the improvements made:
- Improved lights, shadows and ambient oclussion: Shadows are now more noticeable in places where there is greater contrast (places where the sun directly affects and there are shadows).
- Improved TMAA with sharpness tweaked and antialiasing enabled: I don't like the sharp effect of the original preset, but I also don't like the blurring effect of having only TMAA activated, so I've made adjustments to TMAA's sharpening effect and AA so that it has a good balance between blur and sharpness.
- Rendering optimized: After several tests in Vilia's Lagoon (Idk if this is his correct name in english translation, I'm playing in spanish), the most loaded place and that generates more performance problems than I've been able to get, I've made an adjustment in the resolution and the dynamic resolution which kept the game at 30Fps without hardly losing quality (at least for most of the time in this area).
- Dock mode optimized: Sharpness has also been reduced as despite maintaining 720p resolution the vast majority of the time, the game looked very bad on large 4K TVs as they have very high pixel density due to 720p to 2160p conversion.
Highly recomended my OC preset to avoid performance problems:

Screenshot comparisons v1.0 (Left original, right preset):
Updated config preset to v1.1: Less black level for shadows and more sharpness for dock mode.

Comparison v1.1 - v1.2:
Updated config preset to v1.3: Increased TMAA sharpness in dock mode, now look less blurry.
Tweaked resolution: Now dock mode stays at 720p and portable mode stays at 612p. Quality incrased in dock mode and no visible quality decrease in portable mode.

Updated config preset to v1.4:
- Tweaked resolution and dynamic resolution: now game stays at 30 solid frames in every moment without image quality loss.
- Enhanced bloom, goodray and furblur effects for better battle and Monado effects.

Updated config preset to v1.5:
- Slightly decreased resolution in portable mode and dynamic resolution to avoid performance drops in certain loaded areas. Image quality has only decreased slightly.
- Disabled DoF to avoid performance problems in intermediate and advanced areas of the game.

Update v1.7:
- Fixed a bug that appears in dock mode causing the shadows of the characters to be misrepresented due to dust or a similar effect. It was related with SSR and SSAO.
