Anybody ever used the cartoon shader for this or FF7?

If so, what kind of settings did you use? I look at something like this: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a338/ViperXtreme/emulators/f4.jpg and I think to myself "That looks pretty rad!" But I can't get the game to actually look anything like that using those shaders.

Not that being stuck with 4xGLSLHQ is the end of the world or anything.

I'd like to play the game with the storybook shader.

Yeah, it's a cartoon shader you can use to make the game look pretty sweet - the effect is best during battles, though. My main deal was that I couldn't get it configured properly (which is a pretty common problem, apparently). I won't be able to get much less vague as far as the software goes.

Anyway, I was able to get it set up to where it looks decent outside of battle but also looks good in battle:

All resolution settings at the highest, filtering level is 2, I use 2xSaI but it looks decent with stretching too (2xSaI looks better in battle but introduces minor "green lines" outside of battle, nothing too major. Stretching is clean all-around but not quite as impressive-looking).

Open the .slf file and tweak these settings:
th = 0.50
bb = 0.75
pp = 0.35

Shader level is 1 or 2. If I knew a way to reduce the blurring at higher levels I'd push it higher, but I don't know how to edit these crazy shader files.

It gives a pretty "light" cartoon effect, nothing too extreme, definitely makes the game look a lot cooler to these eyes. With something closer to the default you'll get a more impressive in-battle appearance, but you'll have to turn it off outside of battle for the rest of the game to be playable, so I like my way best for its simplicity (after the initial setup).

To the majority of people who will read the above as a bunch of gibberish, I apologize.
