Thank you for kind words! :>

I used two passes:
- first one to color entity with the defined color and it also has ZFunc set to GREATER and ZWriteEnable set to FALSE.
- second one is a normal pass but with ZFunc set to LESS and ZWriteEnable set to TRUE.
I was amazed that it worked so easily

I also bumped on a more complex/difficult solution, where people suggested to used stencil buffer to draw a circular translucency around the given entity.
Here how it looked like:

Thanks to you for the explanation. It is much easier than my especulations

Wow 3run, thank you for your work. This is really awesome stuff. It gave me nostalgia flashbacks!

I wanted to implement PSX shaders for many years, but I never felt like doing it. Now I can just study the code.

Hehe, glad that you liked it and found it useful!

Small update:
- added function to remove the pipeline (sky, mirrors, postprocessing)
- added solution for acknex square render target bug (thanks to txesmi!)
- added NES (can be changed in .fx to GAMEBOY or EGA) palette color and dither (postprocessing)
- added resolution decrease/increase function for testing purpose

Small update:
- added psx dithering instead of NES color palette/dither

Small update:
- added glowing shader (uses first skin's alpha, glowing parts ignore lighting)
- tweaked lens flare to fit (more or less) PSone style
