How do I intergrate/submit my own upscaler to be apart of gamescope?

[KingOwnageXV]

Hello, I was wondering if their is an official process to get your own upscaler intergrated into gamescope - I am a co-creator of the program "Lossless Scaling" which you can find here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/993090

We have been working on our own lightweight spatial upscaler to compete with FSR 1 and in many ways it exceeds it in quality to some degree. It's called "LS1" and I am willing to share the source code with gamescope if they are willing to at least look at it for potential integration. It works great on APUs and provides excellent upscaling quality and theirs even a more light performance version of it too.

If I'm not in the right place to request this please direct me where or give me some contact information, as this is currently the best spatial upscaler to date. I am also willing to provide a free license key of the software with any gamescope dev if they are interested, thank you for your time

You can just pull request it, see how FSR and NIS are implemented in Gamescope. Please also provide comparisons.

Comparisons between native and LS1 or LS1 to other upscalers such as FSR 1? I can do both

Will LS1 need a license to use?? Maybe implement Anime4K??

Anime4k would not be a great fit for Steam Deck / Gamescope, due the purpose of the upscaler and the purpose of this service.

LS1 will not need a license to use, if it is added it will be free and avalible to everyone to benefit from. LS1 already has better results than FSR 1 in a lot of areas and unlike FSR 1 which is abandoned since FSR 2 released LS1 is continuously being updated and improved, and that vision will remain true until we hit the physical limitations of what a spatial upscaler can achieve and there is no more room to improve on it, so we really hope it is considered being added, as I'd be willing to give the source code.

Can LS1 outperform FSR in terms of performance?

I have used ls1 on windows and I find I can lower the res a bit more while keeping quality with it compared to FSR 1 I would love to be able to use the upscaler on my steam deck and I hope you consider it, if it’s possible to integrate it
