About
This is a patch for TheFlow's Adrenaline v.6.7 for the Vita which adds a new graphics filter option called "Sharp bilinear without scanlines". The new option, when selected by the user, enables the sharp-bilinear-simple shader, which gives sharp pixels with minimum blur and zero pixelwobble regardless of scale factor. It doesn't cause slow-down like "Bilinear" does.
TheFlow has accepted this patch into his official codebase already, see commit # 49eb41a.
This patch is just for anyone who wants to use this new feature before it appears in the next official release of Adrenaline.
Installation
Adrenaline 6.7 must be installed already. To patch your Adrenaline, simply copy the file adrenaline_user.suprx
to ux0:app/PSPEMUCFW/sce_module/
, overwriting the existing file.
In case something goes wrong, the original unpatched file is also provided, renamed to adrenaline_user_original.suprx
Recommended Settings
Smooth graphics have to be ON for the new option "Sharp bilinear without scanlines" to work correctly.
I recommend the following settings with this patch:
Handheld Vita:
Official settings (PS1 Per-Game)
=====
Other settings->Screen Mode: Original
Other settings->Bilinear Filtering: On
Official settings (PSP)
=====
Bilinear Filtering: Off
Adrenaline menu settings
=====
Graphics filtering: Sharp bilinear without scanlines
Smooth graphics: On
Screen Scale X (PSP): 2.000 (or 1.995 if you like it blurry)
Screen Scale Y (PSP): 2.000 (or 1.995 if you like it blurry)
Screen Scale X (PS1): 1.135
Screen Scale Y (PS1): 1.135
VitaTV:
(Vita TV has no official settings for display options)
Adrenaline menu settings
=====
Graphics filtering: Sharp bilinear without scanlines
Smooth graphics: On
Screen Scale X (PSP): 2.000 (or 1.995 if you like it blurry)
Screen Scale Y (PSP): 2.000 (or 1.995 if you like it blurry)
Screen Scale X (PS1): 1.135
Screen Scale Y (PS1): 1.000
Important Note: If you still experience slow-down with these settings, just enter and exit the Adrenaline menu once, and the slow-down should disappear. This issue should now be fixed with this v.3 (hopefully).

Explanation
I noticed some screen tearing and slow-down using the "Bilinear" filter while playing Lomax PS1 in Adrenaline on my VitaTV. All the other filters work, but they look ugly with PS1 games.
I therefore added a new filter called "Sharp bilinear without scanlines"
This new filter enables the sharp-bilinear-simple shader, which gives sharp pixels with minimum blur and zero pixelwobble regardless of scale factor. This new filter setting also has no screen tearing and no slow down with PS1 games. For it to work correctly, "Smooth graphics" have to be turned on.
