Hi, Sorry for my dumb problem.
I want to install some hmod in hackchi, but I don't know how it goes, what I want are some shaders that make the image clearer and smoother in Gameboy Advance games.

For example I want to download these filters from this repository
https://github.com/Kobe46/Shaderlay

According to the tutorial, I must copy the Shaderlay.hmod folder to the user_mods folder, and then from Hakchi, click to install additional modules, but once I copy Shaderlay folder to user_mods folder, I can't find Shaderlay module in extra modules of Hakchi.

I do not know what is happening, specifically the ones I wanted to install are the hq2x.glslp filters (I am not able to find it on the internet) or 2xBRZ.glslp, to try to make the image of GBA games look smoother or sharp.



It also gives me problems with this configuration (I guess I install it wrong as in the previous case)
https://gbatemp.net/threads/hakchi2-nes-mini-very-simple-pimp-tool.456256/page-858#post-7752377

Once I put it on while I'm playing it gives me an error loading the shader, I must be doing something wrong.

What I'm looking for in the end is something like this, maybe not so exaggerated because after all it is a SNES Mini, but something like that for GBA games, Thank you.

btw, I'm using hakchi ce specially. i think it's the latest version, since it updated not too long ago. I don't know if that will be helpful, but I think ce is a fork of the original hakchi. iirc, it stands for community edition.

I am using the version that I downloaded from this link.
https://github.com/TeamShinkansen/Hakchi2-CE/releases


I don't know what the problem could be, maybe a bug in this Hackchi or maybe some different way to use the tutorial? I don't understand, hopefully you can help me.



I just want the pixel shader for LCD 3x to be ported to the NES/SNES classic.


Do you have a good configuration or shader for GBA games on SNES Classic Mini? Thanks.

Nope, not unless someone gets the LCD 3x shader working on it. That's the only shader I think looks good for GBC and GBA games. I just leave it at the defaults for now.

Do you know how to revert to Retroarch defaults?

By the way, when I installed Retroarch from Hackchi there were two options, one called Ozone and the other Extreme, I don't know which is better but I installed Ozone. What is the most recommended?

that's the one I'm using, same version as the latest. it's not listed under unknown? not sure what could be wrong unless you're using an older version. I think hakchi has an auto update feature, think that's how I installed the latest, because I have hakchi installed to my nes, snes, and genesis minis. I haven't really messed with much beyond the C8 deterrent (never get) and retroarch and its cores. I also don't play any games on the wrong system, so my nes mini only has nes games on it. it took me a few tries to find the perfect otg device for both the snes and genesis minis, one that didn't have connection problems, and I found one which works 100%. :D

it's just a different layout. neither is better. ozone is what I use, and it's named after the switch's os, so it's laid out that way.

also, afaik, there's no way to restore to defaults. on a pc, I think you can delete the config file to do so, but you can't do that on any of the minis. it's a pita tbh.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

however, you can restore to defaults by reflashing hakchi with retroarch again. that's the only way I know of, because I once messed up the config of the gensis mini

The unknown mods listed does not appear, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong when I copy the Shaderlay.hmod folder or the paths. To top it off, I have accidentally deleted the link from the KIB mods repository that comes by default, if you could pass me the link it would be great.
