input_overlay = /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/overlays/bpengo.cfg
input_overlay_enable = true

video_shader_enable = "false"

aspect_ratio_index = "23"

video_scale_integer = false

input_overlay_scale = 1.000000

input_overlay_opacity = "0.400000"

Pretty much had to draw this one by hand - Power House Pinball:

(Include input_overlay_opacity = "1.000000" in the CFG file in your roms folder.)

@JimmyFromTheBay

Fantastic job!!! It works great!! I only have issues with the Pengo specific instructions. It doesn't work for me (full offset). I don't know if it's because I have a 5" screen.

Do you think you can do Raise The Devil (Pinball), Black Knight Pinball and Rocket Pinball?

Raise The Devil and Wildfire Pinball:

@Folly said in Development of module-script generator for lr-mess and mame standalone:

Are you at least willing to combine the lr-mess bezels into the mame artwork files and place them on the google-drive ?
Others will enjoy that for sure, including me ;-)
This is the first one :

(be sure you don't overwrite existing files if they are already there)

@Folly @JimmyFromTheBay
Today I did Astro Command. Can you test it if you have time? see: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vjjROtpyMZbIaiVqDeVruaIWuU71qYYt/view?usp=sharing

Put it in
/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/mame/artwork

If it works well with your screen, I'll continue with the others.
Thanks

Looking good with 16:9 resolution.
With a 4:3 resolution I have black borders on top and bottom.

For 4:3, the black borders are normal if it's outside the Bezel . The original picture size is 1000x562.
For 4:3, is It fit inside the bezel with the videogame output? That's the important thing for now.

Folly

@DTEAM

Game is within the bezel, so looking good.
indeed, 4:3 is acceptable, if there is no other solution.

Can you change the name of the bezel in the mame artwork file into :
Bezel-16:9.png
Then a bezel for lr-mess can be created.

Edit :
A second good look let me see that the number is just outside the game area, can you make it a bit wider ?

I have made some pictures.

Good point, i'll use transparent option to avoid this. I'll do it today.

It will be Bezel-16-9.png because we cannot use special characters like / or : . Is it good or do you prefer something else?

kiro

Hi @DTEAM, do you mind if I use some of these bezels in the backend for my scraper?

Thanks!

DTEAM

@kiro
No problem for me. Also ask @JimmyFromTheBay

Done ! I changed the way the default.lay file was written .

Yes, that is good, I will change it in my script.

Edit :
Done !

Tested both astrocmd and bbtimer in mame and lr-mess (16:9) and it works beautifully ;-)

@Folly
For Caveman, I will have two options in UI named Handheld_Artwork 1 and Handheld_Artwork 2. The first .png will be Bezel-16-9.png and for the second one, it will be Bezel2-16-9.png. Are you ok with that?

Already 8 done !

Bezel2-16-9.png. Are you ok with that?

That's fine by me.
I can add a line that generates the alternatives from these Bezel2 's.

Already 8 done !

COOL !
