PD Loader Tools for AMD Compatibility
=====================================

The Novidia plugin and its included shader patch data will allow Project DIVA
Arcade Future Tone to work on AMD GPUs.

Usage Instructions:
  Simply copy the plugins folder to your game directory.

================================================================================

AFT Shader Patcher can be used to attempt patching modded Nvidia-only shaders to
also work.

Patch Creation Instructions:
  1. Extract amd-tools.
  2. Copy your modified shader.farc into your extracted amd-tools folder.
  3. Run "patch shaders". This may take several minutes.
  4. Copy the "XXXXXXXX.vcdiff" file into your "plugins\Novidia Shaders" folder.
  5. Install the shader mod like you would normally using shader.farc.
  6. Novidia will automatically apply the generated patches.
  * shader_patched.farc is an intermediate file and can be safely deleted.

================================================================================

ARB Patcher, the tool used to make modifications to shaders, was developed with
a lot of help from Nezarn, without whom AMD support would not be possible.
