@thetraingoes As per https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, 3rd party images are not supported, since - as you discovered - each one has configurations that are non-standard for a RetroPie installation.

That being said, overlays/bezels are configured in RetroArch and you can disable them using the RetroArch GUI - bring it up with Hotkey + X while in game and disable the overlay/bezel. The image you're using might have specific RetroArch configs for the SNES core - see here. You can edit the SNES core configuration and remove the Overlay/Bezel lines for the SNES emulator.

Superb as always buddy... THANKS :D

Many thanks for this eye candy! And yes, a fresh MAME2003 build from source has sample support for cosmica! Cheers!

@SIMPLY-AUSTIN You sir are an absolute star!! Just bought a "recreated ZX Spectrum" in which i plan to stuff in a Raspberry Pi Zero for my old man for Xmas! Literally posted about this on MadlittlePixels FB page just a few days ago! Would love the full theme please! looking for tutorials to edit this to load in the raspberry pi logo.....watch this space :)

@Riverstorm : does it work for you ?

Hey Udb, I missed the post and just seeing it tonight/morning around 12:30 AM but I had to comment on how amazing and incredible it looks. I will be testing it out tomorrow. If you feel your ears ringing tomorrow it's due to all the praise I'll be showering your way. :) Thank you so much for doing this, it's absolutely amazing! You're one hell'va artist!!

Allright, here's the two debug.txt file contents:

Second: http://codepad.org/Z8sLyqCy

Hope you can use it..

@Brigane It's a very good game so it deserves a good overlay ;-)

@jozzy1 Far too kind. Glad it's appreciated.

I made this one fully vectors so if anybody needs different ratio or resolution I can make it easily, just ask.

@caver01 Thanks for responding!

caver01 "It does beg the question, so I will write it before someone else does: why not consider the libretro version of mame4all for those titles that require the bezel, since most of the work has been done for you?"

My reasons for staying with mame4all are:

I have a known good working set for mame4all The set works great on a non-OC'ed RaspberryPi 3 I haven't managed to get any of the libretro settings to correspond to my default old iPac2. A major issue for me. I don't like to have to spend hours re-configuring if I can help it. I like majority of the roms on my arcade cab to be listed under one menu. I know that you can use the arcade folder but lets face it re-configuring 800+ roms one at a time to work with the best emulator is a pain when mame4all just works.

That is how my mind deals with it. I would love to use the Libretro set but I haven't been able to get the key mappings right.

I was hoping that there would be a default bezel that mame4all could see and know to auto use it but I didd't think that there would be something so simple.

Thanks again!

@lamaman1971 I just realized, there is an easier solution for per-ROM settings without bothering to modify an artwork .zip file. You can simply specify the ROM as a prefix to a setting inside your .rc file. For example, say you have:
display_artwork_bezel yes

but you want to forego the bezel for Tempest. Just add:
tempest/display_artwork_bezel no

which will override the bezel setting for that one ROM.

AdvanceMAME works this way for everything, so you can get very granular with controls, video--anything really. It also works to use prefixes like vertical/display_artwork_bezel no. I am not sure about all of the supported categories, but I know they exist for game resolution, orientation, vector, and possibly others. Obviously, if you wanted to have your default setting be no and then only use a bezel for a specific title with a prefix of that ROM and a setting to yes that will work too.

@dankcushions thanks for your help! totally fixed my problem!

@udb23 missed this one. just updated my overlays. many thanks and great work as always...

@udb23 said in New Overlay: Amidar:

What about Mega man 5 as next overlay ? ;-)

I'm excited about that!
I'm on a "Mega Man cheevos hunting marathon". Currently on Mega Man 4, and the 5 will be the next. :-)

@edmaul69 Good suggestion. Thanks !
Changed the title.

@udb23 Since I wrote it too hastily, here's an article with a few more details then:

http://www.usgamer.net/articles/daily-classic-un-squadrons-strange-identity-change

It is an overall fun game, but I wasn't aware the SNES was actually somewhat different, with more of a RPG vibe to it where you buy new planes. Need to check that out.

@caver01 @mediamogul Thanks for the additional testing; surely that's the reason for the issue.
Maybe @amadvance can fix this.

Libretro overlay implementation shows that it's possible to get high res overlays without affecting performance.

It would be really nice if libretro could support also backdrops.
