/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/realistic/
I have no folder realistic in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/
The only one I have is in /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/all/retroarch/config/MAME/It should be linked to the normal /opt/retropie/configs directory.
But when it's not the .zip.cfg and .7z.cfg can't be moved by my script to the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/realistic roms directory.
So you should move or copy the .zip.cfg and .7z.cfg to the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/realistic roms directory.I will do that. I have to go now, I'll try tomorrow

EDIT: Skip this part, look at the next post.
Install this again.
Choose and install HANDHELD/PLUG&PLAY/CATEGORIES > Submenu
Forcing Arcade Category => realisticThen you should have the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/realistic
- Place your 720.zip there.
- Move the 720.zip.cfg there.
- Test the rom.
- If it doesn't work, edit the file 720.zip.cfg so it will find the
config.hdmi
directory.
Select realistic in emulationstation.
I think it should work then. ;-)

Good luck tomorrow, I think we are on the right track now.
With the information from yesterday I updated the script.So try this update first.
I did some tests with linking directories.
Moving and removing from within linked directories should work.
So you probably have :
/opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/all/retroarch/...... (is the actual folder)
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/...... (is the linked folder)You did not have the roms/realistic directory.
When not there it can't move the files.
So I fixed this when selecting "Setup Orionsangels Arcade Overlays Part1 > roms/realistic" it will check if the roms/realistic directory exists.
If not the it will automatically install the Arcade realistic category/folder.Just press <n> when you see this, it will skip downloading the file again :
getting your desired file File exists !, do you want to overwrite it ? [Y/N] n

My runcommand.log does not find cfg overides, does yours find some (so it will undo some settings from the overlay cfg) ?:
[INFO] [Overrides]: No core-specific overrides found at "/home/pi/.config/retroarch/config/MAME/MAME.cfg".

Nothing on my side. the folder doesn't contain those files.
In my /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/arcade, my retroarch.cfg contain this :
# Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line input_overlay = "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/MAME-Horizontal.cfg" input_overlay_opacity = "1.000000" input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/arcade/" #include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"
The MAME-Horizontal.cfg doesn't exist
Note: For configs.hdmi , it doesn't matter because I have a symbolic link (configs = configs.hdmi ). It should be good.

Ok, that looks good too then.
In my /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/arcade, my retroarch.cfg contain this :
# Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line input_overlay = "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/MAME-Horizontal.cfg" input_overlay_opacity = "1.000000" input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/arcade/" #include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

Strange, the script part I added, for setting up the realistic overlays, does nothing with that directory.
What's inside that retroarch.cfg will only have effect when you run roms from the arcade folder.
I would suggest you remove the overlay lines in that retroarch.cfg.
Have you tried my updated script ?
I have updated it again to get rid of possible issues with /config.hdmi/ folder
I would like you to run it.
You only have to do this :
CHEATS/ARTWORK/BEZELS > Submenu
Setup Orionsangels Arcade Overlays Part1 > roms/realisticI hope this is the solution to the problem.
When no .zip.cfg and .7z.cfg files come into the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/realistic then I would like to see your latest log from /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/logs.
Just extract the latest, after you tried.
Then we might find the error.
Hopefully it will not be necessary.https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/commit/ab2643eaaff18007e68b6d0213d0d29457cba121

It works if I put 720.7z.cfg and 720.zip.cfg directly in/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/
It don't recognize /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/realistic

Does the 720.zip.cfg contain this now ? :
input_overlay = "/home/pi/RetroPie/downloads/Orionsangels_Arcade_Overlays_For_Retroarch_Part1/overlay/realistic/720.cfg"
So the viewport is ok and the bezel is loaded now when running from :
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/ -

The rom is fine. When I put this rom in the JAKKS folder, it works. I don't know what's going on with my classich folder. Roms with MAME artwork and retroarch overlays (at the same time) do not work. I'll see what I can do. The problem is 100% on my side, not related to the script.Solved: It was my emulators.cfg file in /opt/retropie/configs/all . It seems it was corrupted. I deleted everything inside. Now it's fine and I'll start to do MAME artworks (MAME format) for classich with @JIMMYFROMTHEBAY bezels if he agrees.
Fine by me :)
Anything I post on these forums is fair game to be used by anyone for anything, no need to ask.
-
Can you give the realistic bezels a try ?
-
It's fine as long as you give credit and links. I actually welcome it because with what you're doing these bezels can be used by more people.
-
Added you in the first post.
I saw that some files are missing from part1.
And I would like to have just 1 pack that I can download and generate files from.
Or perhaps better, have all the files separately on a google drive.Can we discuss that in an other thread ?

-
So everything works now from the arcade folder.
(apart from bios files not found)
But not from the realistic folder, correct ?You should check if you have
/opt/retropie/config
(.hdmi)/realistic
containing also the emulators.cfg etc.
And that realistic is found in the es_systems of emulationstation. -

But not from the realistic folder, correct ?Nothing works except if I cut and paste xxxxxxx.zip.cfg directly into the arcade roms folder.
-
What does it do then, when you paste the .zip.cfg inside the arcade folder and run a rom from that folder ?

It loads automatically with the good presets. Everything works fine, but I have to copy everything to Arcade directly

OK, That is what I wanted to know.
So it will work, but not from the realistic folder, correct ? -
