Retropie 4 Mame-Libretro Shaders/Overlays

ruxton_bruce

I configured my Retropie 3 setup as per this guidline:-

The Shaders and Overlays were working just great. I then recently upgraded from Retropie 3 to 4 to try and fix a problem with Amiga Emulation.

Since doing this i'm experiencing a strange behavior. When i open a game without bezel, it opens the settings of the last game with bezel. For instance if I open Frogger and then Street Fighter II, i get the bezel from Frogger on Street Fighter. I have seen others having the same problems. Is there a fix for this with Retropie 4. I have tried updating retropie just today and the problem still exists.

I have noticed that running a game with a with a bezel adds 2 lines to the /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg file eg.
video_shader = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/shader/arcade-bezel-shader/crt-pi.glslp"
input_overlay = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/overlays/arcade-bezel-overlays/frogger.cfg"

If I manually remove these 2 lines I can run the game without a bezel and it displays as expected.

As soon as I run a game with Bezels these lines are added again and the problem returns.

Any help much appreciated

I just tried this with RetroPie 4.0.2 and it doesnt write back to retroarch.cfg now, can you try to update your retropie script, revert the retroarch.cfg and see how it goes?

@Floob Hi there Floob.

Thanks for all your replies to my recent forum posts. I had updated the retropie script yesterday and I was definitely on 4.02.

I reran the script this morning again just to be sure, copied the backup retroarch.cfg file across and tested the games. It seems to do the same thing. I have copied the older version of the /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg that I had from a backup to pastebin - http://pastebin.com/u/ruxton_bruce

I'm not sure if I have done the pastebin thing correctly there as it's the first time I have used it.

Thanks again for your replies mate

Cheers

Get rid of that file, and use this original one instead
http://pastebin.com/raw/1TmhJ2tD

You can remove the old one like this
rm /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro/retroarch.cfg
If its easier, you can choose to re-install mame-2003 from binary and it should re-create the file - (or just use the pastebin one I put above)

If you are on 4.02 it shouldnt overwrite this under most circumstances now.

@Floob Once again Floob you have saved my day.

This has fixed all the problems I have been having including the Controls going all screwy that I posted in this forum:-

Dear sir, could you make rp-video-manager for Recalbox 4.1?

Or could you show me how to use overlays/bezels on Recalbox.

Thanks a lot!

I think you will be better off asking here:
https://forum.recalbox.com/

I've not really looked at the structure of Recalbox before.
