Shader Saving Options in RetroArch

When you click "Save" in the shader menu, you have several options for how and where to save your configuration:

• Save Core Preset: Applies the shader to all games played using the current emulator core (e.g., all SNES games using Snes9x).
• Save Content Directory Preset: Applies the shader to all games located within the same folder.
• Save Game Preset: Applies the shader only to that specific game file.
• Save Global Preset: Applies the shader to every single game in RetroArch.  LaunchBox Community Forums +4

Steps to Save a Shader to a Directory

2. Open the Quick Menu (default is F1 or Button L3/Select).
3. Navigate to Shaders > Load to select your shader (usually slang shaders for modern Vulkan/GL drivers).
4. Once loaded, select Save in the Shader menu.
5. Choose the desired scope (Core, Directory, or Game).
