@dizzle151 said in Help with bezel overlays not showing for GBC emulator, but working for NES and GB?!: Sorry if this is answered somewhere else but I search and couldn't find anything. I recently added overlays to my retropie emulators and have had perfect luck with NES and GB, however, my GBC emulator(s) will not show the bezels even though I can select them fine. I have tried all three GBC emulators with the same issue. All overlay files are stored in the correct folder.... Super confused as to why they'd work flawlessly with two emulators and not the third. Please help! I am not overly technical, but have had no issues until this point. Thanks in advance! Control in bezelname.cfg if the name contain "-" delete and rename Image name without "-" Ex. Super-nintendo, Image file must Be "supernintendo" it work for me.

@ande-rocha, very happy If you like.

anyone happen to have a 4:3 of space invaders lying around? or maybe even the strikers 1945 trilogy?

@corbidorbi said in Need help making GB screen smaller: Of course that's buried in a bazillion other lines in the .CFG. That's because you enabled 'Config Save on Exit' and all the configurations have been dumped in this file. You shouldn't do that, core options are saved by default (in a separate file) and for other options you use 'Save Core Override'. Replace the retroarch.cfg file contents you have now in the gb folder with input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/gb/" #include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg" After that, start a game and use the RGUI to change the Video Settings, but use the Save Core Override option this time. Re-start the game and see if the changes persist. Hint: you don't need to download the file from the RetroPie system, just use Samba Share from your Finder to open the \\retropie\configs\gb folder and edit the file directly.

Added MERCS

@prog-amateur I would also like to know the steps taken to add BGM to RetroPie. This would be a great feature to be added

Thanks so much everyone

@epicrean said in Bezels and sizing basic question: I went through Retroarch and changed the X and Y position Every overlay is made for a specific screen resolution (not for specific TV); e.g. 1080p, if both TVs are set to 1080p the overlays must display correctly on both. On top of that each overlay has a viewport (actual game area) that is sized for specific game area scale (e.g. integer scale, 3x, etc). If your retroarch settings for a specific core are different than the settings the overlay was intended for then it will not display correctly.

@Coin-Junkie I'm loving the bezels. Just one problem. I've installed every set without issue except for Megadrive. I can see it has copied the png and cfg files to the Megadrive folder, but it always says "not installed" in the Bezel Pack Downloader menu. All the others are fine. When I launch a megadrive game, e.g. Sonic the hedgehog, it shows the bezel from the Mastersystem and not the Megadrive. Suspect this could have something to do with the not installed status of Megadrive? Help! But more importantly, keep up the great work.

@timbone316 You probably have save_on_exit in RetroArch. Try to open the RGUI (Select + X) while ingame and disable this. To revert to the Mame2003 default retroarch.cfg file, re-install the package from the RetroPie-setup script.

New releases for both repositories! Artwork overlays v1.1 - 1220 games V1.1 integrates overlays from the MotionBlue Retropie image. https://github.com/cosmo0/retropie-overlays-arcade-artwork/releases/tag/v1.1 Realistic overlays v1.1 - 554 games V1.1 integrates OrionsAngel overlays up to pack 35. https://github.com/cosmo0/retropie-overlays-arcade-realistic/releases/tag/v1.1

@mitu Ill try that, just for fun. My intention is to set it in Kiosk eventually and leave it alone. Its not hard to SSH into the pi and change it if needed on occasion. ok, im an idiot. I was "assuming" that id press the buttons during the splashscreen, not in the second after it dissapears. It is working perfect. My misunderstanding. Thats an interesting idea, I will try and check it out, I will need to undo some things on the core options and move them but I feel this may actually work. I was obviously thinking too hard and forgot about the retroarch.cfg overrides. GREAT IDEA!

@kmetz7547 you could ask PiPiggies.

As per @cloudlink request, here is a "realistic" overlay for consoles : Add this to your retroarch.cfg file at each system folder in the configs shared folder: input_overlay = /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/systems/generic_old_crt.cfg custom_viewport_width = 994 custom_viewport_height = 758 custom_viewport_x = 318 custom_viewport_y = 136 aspect_ratio_index = 22 video_force_aspect = true input_overlay_opacity = 1 video_shader = /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/shaders/crt-pi-curvature.glslp video_shader_enable = true Create a generic_old_crt.cfg file: open the configs shared folder, browse to all/retroarch/overlays/systems (you might need to create this last folder) and add the following lines: overlays = 1 overlay0_overlay = generic_old_crt.png overlay0_full_screen = true overlay0_descs = 0 Copy the following image alongside it and make sure it's named generic_old_crt.png:

@Floob Thanks for stopping by! :) The overlays I'm trying to convert are OrionsAngel's. The only config files I have are the mameconfig and the mamelayout (in the zip) I have generated the cfg just using the values in the mamelayout file, but they are pretty much all configured with the same values (unless my conversion script is wrong, which is possible), so I'm starting to think the values in the mameconfig file are important as well... but I just can't figure out what I should multiply. For now I'm resigned to measure the values "by hand" in Photoshop (I have done about 20 of 250...) which will take some time but is not very hard.

@outlaw said in Bezels for ES: Exemple 1 : the CPS system have the ratio : 384x224. The maximum ratio on 720p can be 1234x720. Why the bezel not use this game ratio? because these games are still 4:3. on the real hardware the pixels aren't 'square'. The games should be scaled to a 4:3 resolution, so the bezels are correct.
