Screen filtering settings applies to Software renderer but the setting is hidden

[Linx-ESP]

What version of melonDS DS are you using?

1.1.8

Does the problem happen in standalone melonDS?

I don't know.

What happened?

From Core Options - Video - Screen filtering setting.
This setting will also affect software rendering but it will not show if you have Render Mode: software.
Any time you want to change it you have to go Render Mode: OpenGL, change filtering, restart in OpenGL, change to Render Mode: Software and restart.

I'm using integer scaling on Retroarch and it has an option for bilinear filtering on the scaling settings. It doesn't do anything in this case.

What should've happened instead?

Either the "Core Options - Video - Screen filtering" setting is shown for Software Render Mode or its function is disabled in favor of Retroarch Scaling setting.

Which platforms do you see the problem on?

• Windows
• macOS
• Linux
• Android
• iOS
• tvOS
• Other (specify below)

Which versions of the OS?

Windows 11

Which libretro frontend are you using?

RetroArch 1.20.0 Steam

Thank you for reporting this (and for your patience). Are you looking to have the whole screen filtered? Or just the hybrid one? I'd like to be sure that this option is well-advised to begin with (since I only added it due to its presence in the legacy core).

In my case I didn't want any filtering at all. If I wanted I would want all screens, but retroarch or shaders already manage it so I don't know of a use case in the core.
Either way, the toggle should appear in Software rendering, not just OpenGL as it affects both.
Can test a commit build if needed.
