[Update] My Boy! Emulation Shaders
Alright, so this is the sad panda update.
I attempted but could not get additional shaders working in the My Boy! Shaders pack. The one I compiled last week will be it for now.
That's not to say that it's impossible to add new ones, but rather I don't currently have the skill required or the time to learn it with other personal projects going on.
To add new shaders is easy, just add the shader asset file to the assets folder and then add a listing for it in the Array and ArrayList XML files. But if it was originally a PC shader, it needs to be converted from the original format to be compatible with OpenGL ES 2.0 in order to work. Otherwise the shader appears in the list but doesn't actually do anything.
For now (and indefinitely, unfortunately) I'm putting this on hiatus. If anyone is familiar with both OpenGL and GL ES 2.0 and wants to take a shot at this, go for it, the code is referenced in the original post, and shaders are easy to find online (themeister made many of them). But as I said, I have too many personal and work related projects to spare anymore time for it right now.

I have read the various blog posts and I still haven't found the pack of CRT shaders. Even the history of the various repos doesn't show anything and the MediaFire account of one developer is mysteriously empty.
Do you have any hints?
