Here I made some PlayStation Vita Overlays for Retroarch with and without the Mega Bezel Reflection Shader (HyperspaceMadness) I made more than you see here or in the video. Hope to post more soon.

Sorry for late reply. Yes that kinda looks like it, but not transparent and for all systems. I suppose it could be worth asking over on the Retroarch forum you think? Thanks again Mitu.

Fixed it, I simply updated lr-mame2003 in retropie setup.

Many thanks for your help.

@quicksilver my prayers have been answered. They added an uninstall function today!

FIXED: Change 'common.cfg' aspect ratio index to 23.

@UDb23 I appreciate your help. I have never played this game before I saw your overlay. But something about using your overlays makes me feel like I'm a kid at the arcade again :D

@zfa said in Retropie Bezel Project & lr-mame2003 cfg does not persist after update?:

I guess the real fix is to get The Bezel Project guys to use the names as per the Retroarch guys, or make sure they include symlinks where there are name changes across versions of a core. If this doesn't work then update your emus again in case you have a version reporting itself as being mame2003 as per @Virtualman post.

This name change/folder change came from RetroArch leadership rather than the mame2003 core. The code logic for this is kind of obscure but it has to do with enabling netplay between a broader range of different systems.

Based on the RA rationale for making the change I expect it will be permanent.

@udb23 Thanks for sharing the original cardboard bezel scan and the bezels that you created based on it. I wanted something slightly different to the bezel that you shared already, and came up with this:
asteroid-w-overhang-example.jpg

I'm using lr-mame2003-plus, and wanted an "integer resolution" bezel to support this.

I found that lr-mame2003-plus has better resolution core options than fbneo in my quick comparison. Two resolutions that the core offers that work well for me are 640x480 (with 2x integer scaling in retroarch) and 1280x960 (with the beam width = 2 set as a core option).

If anyone is interested I've put my bezel attempts here: https://github.com/busywait/retroboxes/tree/main/overlay/Asteroids

There does seem to be a little problem with letterboxing (black bars) at the top and bottom. Does anyone have any idea why lr-mame2003-plus doesn't fill the whole 960 height with the game? I ended up setting a custom resolution of 1280x1060 in the game.zip.cfg that does fill the space.

@udb23 nice overlay buddy. Will try this weekend. I haven't updated in ages... thanks ☺

Thank you very much for your quick reply. I used your indications and they work perfectly.
regards

I don't use bezels, but I just wanted to say that it's worth it to emulate the Williams clone of 1942 (lr-fba works well). Unlike the Capcom/Romstar version, the Williams version correctly refers to the 2nd button evasion maneuver as a Loop, not Roll, and consequently has Ls in the lower right corner instead of Rs. Also, the stage names are better (clearer).

@clyde Thanks alot for the help, I'll read up on it :)

@fitz43 said in Bezels for different consoles:

put bezels and config files in overlays folder on retropie

Obviously, you copied them on the RetroPie, but my question was - where exactly ? What folder/files did you copy and where ?

@udb23 Argh, thanks for reminding me. I wanted to copy the samples to the 4.4 sd card, but had to expand its partition first, and then I forgot to copy the samples … :P

The usual location for overlays is "/opt/retropie/configs/all/ retroarch/overlay". Maybe there is something there that is overriding your settings.

@cosmo0 I just booted up the ol' Retropie after a few months off and did a frest update of all packages. My 3yo toddler was going to meet Pac-Man for first time, and the overlays in FBA for Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man now go over the game. I tried Galaga as well, and that looked good. Did something get goofed up recently in an FBA or Retropie update?

I installed new version of Arcade Manager, and it isn't dl'ing any new overlays for me.

Lemme know what you think. Thanks and happy holidays!
