I personally prefer to force everything into the precise dimensions of the (4:3) viewport: custom aspect, non-integer scaling, plus smoothing to fuzz it up a little. In the rare event that I come across a game that looks distorted, I tweak the settings for just that game.

Ok guys, I have just redone the SD card and it's working perfect - as far as I can see the config file is identical to what I had it as. I have no idea what happened there but to be honest, its now working and the kids are happy so all is well.

Thank you all for your help and suggestions.

@jozzy1 you're welcome. And I prefer the first one too.

This is great info even for those of us who are not using standard HD video resolutions. Anyone building an arcade cabinet using dirt cheap 17 or 19-inch LCDs typically find them running 1280x1024 resolution, and although 1024p is not 1080p, it's certainly better than 720, and I can definitely attest to how nice the CRT-PI shader looks at 1024.

It's also handy to know that the shader looks best when it has 4x game resolution to render the scanline and shadow mask effects. This has come up in a few other threads over the past few months--people building hand-held devices that have tiny screens sometimes ask about using the CRT-PI shader. I had always thought you would need extra pixels to make the CRT effect look nice. I guess my advice was sound. Good info all around.

@udb23 about 3 weeks ago I was trying to write a kind of "cheevos scraper" (discussion in this thread) but got distracted hunting cheevos for Mega Man 3 and 4. After beating Mega Man 4 i restarted the work on the cheevos-scraper. And now you throw this Mega Man 5 art here!!!

They look awesome! The launching art is so beautiful!

The temptation to dive into Mega Man 5 cheevos hunting is big, but I will try to finish the cheevos scraper first. I think I can release something in a week and then it will be @pjft turn to make it useful for EmulationStation. :-)

@UDb23 Thanks again for this artwork!!

@UDb23 You are referring to the concept of overscan. I think old CRTs often had slightly different borders where the image could be drawn. As a game builder, you maybe had exact specs on the monitor that would be used in the arcade cabinet, but best practice included placement of important items (like cockpit readouts, score text, etc.) within the "safe" area so that the image could be adjusted to fill the screen. Actually, the image may have been adjusted to go beyond the screen, ensuring all areas are covered. It's a bit like printing ink on paper using a full-bleed, knowing that the final piece will be cut such that your image goes edge-to-edge.

Anyway, I am glad you got it figured out.

@mviars
After you got the file pushed over to your RPi (I use FileZilla as my FTP client) and you're SSH'd into your RPI, do this:
unzip mooncresta_bo_udb.zip

mv mooncrst.zip.cfg mooncrsu.zip.cfg ~/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/

mkdir /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/overlays/arcade-bezels/

mv mooncrst.cfg mcresta_udb.png /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/overlays/arcade-bezels/

@UDb23

What a nice x-mas present! Thank you. :-)
