Description
Depending on the platform & core, sometimes RetroArch will only accept glcore & vulkan as video drivers, which require the usage of slang shaders.
Apparently, shaders in Retropie are installed from the hard fork https://github.com/RetroPie/common-shaders, which doesn't include slang shaders and also seems to use fairly old versions of glsl shaders.
