 *Finish Retroplayer Shaders feature from GSoC 2017 & 2019. This feature was developed to a state that still needs work to be considered shippable. It will require us to find a way to ship the shaders without putting them in the binary and also require some OpenGL work for Linux and Mac OS and possibly GLES (depending on the time we have/person taking the project). The bulk of the work for OpenGL is done, there are some bugs to iron out but it works. Please post on the forum if you're interested in the GSoC section. (possible mentors: gusandrianos)
