Add vkBasalt

[liberodark]

Build OK

I don't think this is a good idea for v38, but probably beyond

1. The developer has given up on the project
2. This adds a layer of complexity to Wine which is already bugged.
3. The current implementation allows for vkbasalt when potentially running OpenGL games.
4. There is no configuration options for the conf file / shaders etc.

Do we really need it??? It will be another layer in Vulkan to manage ...

VKBasalt works very well I don't see the problem.
Why not add it? There is a default configuration which is already very good and which allows for interesting use.
This does not add any complexity to wine.
The project is still in development, in fact it is alone.
The current wine bugs are mainly linked to a system that does not manage multilib.
But otherwise I don't see any reason not to add it, it adds an interesting feature to Wine for users.

I'm backing you up here. Not only can we use reshade ported shaders but this could potentially be used not only on Wine but anything that uses Vulcan.

I have already talked a few weeks ago to one of the devs over at the reshade discord server about porting the libretro Image-adjustment shader over to reshade. This could potentially mean we could use the shader for GunCon2 on a lot more then just wine.

Quite a big game changer 😎

Edit:
Just look at all the cool Retroarch shades ported here

Any updates on this?

Any update on this? This is required to bring the white border for Sinden Lightgun using ReShade (Vulkan only). I don't see any better solution than that.

Hi,I'm also looking for this to add sinden lightgun white border with reshade

This should make things much easier to integrate
vkbasalt-cli (filename vkbasalt) is a CLI utility and library in conjunction with vkBasalt. This makes generating configuration files or running vkBasalt with games easier. This is mainly convenient in environments where integrating vkBasalt is wishful, for example a GUI application. Integrating vkbasalt-cli allows a front-end to easily generate and use specific configurations on the fly, without asking the user to manually write a configuration file.

cli is not needed @Redemp as it can be done with a conf file & configgen.

as per my previous points

3. The current implementation allows for vkbasalt when potentially running OpenGL games.
4. There is no configuration options for the conf file / shaders etc.

I was unaware that it actually worked with OpenGL.
From my understanding it only works with dxvk and vkd3d
Will there be a openGl version?
But I have been very successful in using Gamescope and then it works without issues.
But sadly that pr 5610 was closed. So I have to resort to calling a build of Gamescope I shoe horned myself into Batocera.

If conf file needs to be made I will be more then happy to put in the work for exposing the setting for them in whatever manner you see fit.
