@Red732 said in Onscreen Gear Shifter Visibility Options:

Does anyone know how to remove the onscreen gear selection from games like Pole Position? I’ve seen it before, but I can’t remember where the config is.

Weird that I was just playing with this on Monday...

Complimenting what @dankcushions provided, and using Pole Position with any version of MAME other than 2003-plus:

Hit TAB on a keyboard to toggle the MAME menu Select Video Options

Then, depending on which version of MAME you're using:

For lr-mame2003

Select Dip Switches Set "Display Shift" from On to Off

For lr-mame2010 - lr-mame2016:

Select either "Standard (4:3) or Pixel Aspect (8:7)

For lr-mame 0.222 and below:

Select one of the "Screen 0" options instead of the default "Shifter-R" option.

For lr-mame newer than 0.222:

Select "Screen #0" Then select one of the "Screen 0" options instead of the default "Shifter-R" option.

For the bleeding edge versions of lr-mame, there are some newer video options that allow the shifter to be off the screen as another option.

@mitu Ah well, thanks anyway - I posted it as an issue in github to see if the retroarch - developers can help

That is exactly the way I have done it. Did look at scripting it but a lot of my Arcade overlays need to move the screen to fit correctly with diferent aspect ratios

Maybe you can choose the system where you need this info for .
If you change retroarch.cfg in "all" directory, this is for all emulators.
Maybe you can change Settings only for selectec systems by editing /opt/retropie/configs/SYSTEMNAME/retroarch.cfg
