      I managed to get it working by just putting the image (.png) and .cfg file in the Pi/Home/.config/retroarch/<custom folder> and then in-game settings > screen overlays point to the .cfg file.

      Below image on my DIY bartop with the custom bezel and another one with the "Bezel Project" bezel.

      I have to admit that your realistic bezels make the screen very small but that can be handy for some games where I want a sharp image over a big image and have "Integer scaling" on in video settings.

          @bietekwiet Thank you for the kind words. I'm humbled.

          I use the Mame 2016 core with Retroarch. In my first pack you can see the instructions but I don't know if it would work the same on Retropie.

          Btw here is a new realistic Arcade overlay for the game, Street Fighter Alpha 3 for use on Retroarch. It comes in three versions. Yellow, Maroon or Chrome molding.

          This overlay is coming soon on my Arcade Retroarch Pack #2.

              @Orionsangel These are beautiful! I've only seen Marble Madness with a black bezel in arcades. Was this bezel a new creation? Or did it actually exist in some form.

              Just love these.

                  Thanks! No, it's not official, but it should be. That game deserved a proper artwork bezel.

                                          These do look great on my phone screen. Can someone post a pic of them not screen capped and actually on a TV or cabinet?

                                          I’m just a tad confused about what’s real and what is the overlay lol. It’s that good.
