Pause your game, enter the Quick Menu; choose Shaders, load shader preset, and there should be several folders full of them. Once you choose one, simple click "apply changes ?" and it should enable it for you.

Fix for Blurred Games

Stock emu has bilinear filter hardcoded on.

If you launch games in RetroArch you can turn bilinear on or off in RA settings But some people confuse blurry and pixel-y. Bilinear causes smoothing/blur.

If you want to reduce jaggedness then enable high-res mode and high-res speedhack to render games at 2x width/height for 4x the pixels

For high res mode, start a game and then pop quick menu and go to options for core from quick menu. You should see high-res and high-res speedhack in there.

For bilinear, in RA main menu or when game isn't launched, settings -> video -> bilinear filtering Some games might have frame drops in high-res mode, but most can handle it (so long as you're also not using shaders, rewind, other expensive things on top)

When game is launched with RA, start+select.

Stock emu menu is select+triangle High res mode is in both emus

Hotkeys

Select + Triangle = Special Stock Menu Select + Start = Retroarch Menu
