Classic games with ReShade support for better graphics.

Shing · 03-01-16, 10:00

So innuendo1231 made this topic and found this awesome tool.

Which is a DX1-7 to 11 wrapper! And guess what? ReShade supports DX11.

What does it mean? You can use advanced shaders, such as bloom, motion blur, lens flare, lens dirt, other contrast, tonemap and color changes, etc.

I already tested it with Tomb Raider 4 and it works. I only found minor bugs, when some objects are rendered in full black, but saving the game and reloading the same part fixed it.

How to use the tools:
1. Extract dgVoodoo to any folder.
2. Open it and use these settings:

3. Then press on Apply/OK.
4. Copy D3DImm.dll and DDraw.dll from your dgVoodoo2_45\MS folder to your Tomb Raider folder.

5. Download ReShade.
6. Open it with Mediator.exe.
7. Press on Add and search the game exe file.
8. Make sure the game is detected as DX10/11.

9. Make sure your game is using dgVoodoo for graphics.

That's it. I hope it works for you and with other games, possibly with TRLE games too.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Is there a button to toggle the effects or does it just 'work'?

Shing · 03-01-16, 15:25

Well, maybe the most important part is missing from my "tutorial".

You need to add shaders on this page or it will look the same.

You can enable/disable the effect by pressing "Scroll lock" while playing. But it should be enabled by default.

If you don't know what to do, here is the mod with my preset, just extract everything to the main folder of the game.

Nice find

I can confirm that these effects do work on some custom levels. I tested few of my own levels: TROE, and Frozen Throne. Both work without problems! Sadly I cannot post screenshots since all of the shots end up black with print screen button or via tomb4 snapshot button.
*edit*

For me windowed more on tomb4 (custom tomb4 exe, modified with FLEP & TRNG) does not work. Some objects end up black all the time. Same happens if Soft_Fullsceen option is enabled. (Soft_fullscreen also causes Tomb4 window to be extremely small on my end)

I tested it with my level through windowed mode and it works.

^ I guess the system specifications make some differences!

I managed to grab a screenshot with fraps

Try to play with dgVoodoo settings if you have problems. I had graphic bugs with other settings, but maybe it will work better for you.

Amazing screenshot.

My game got so laggy it's almost impossible to play it.. Seems like dgVoodoo iz causing it, so yeah, it's best to play with options...
