New release: v3.0

New feature: generates overlays directly from images.

bezel-tools generate --images samples/images --roms-configs samples/roms --template-overlay templates/overlay.cfg --template-rom templates/game.cfg

https://github.com/cosmo0/mame-retroarch-bezel-converter/releases/tag/v3.0

I'm done with what I want to do with this tool right now (for my own personal use) and I'll move on to other projects.

Feel free to open an issue if you find a bug, or if you want another feature.

I want to generate "complete" overlays from MAME layouts (with background layers, etc) but it can get pretty complicated pretty fast, and I don't need it personally right now, but if people want it, I can take some time to do it. I'm open to pull requests, and I welcome forks.

I think it would be a great idea. If it's not possible to implement it, could it be done using the theme system? 🤔

Load a game and then enter the retroarch s

Hey iggy, hust thank you so so so much, you explained everything so well and it works grate :D

Thanks :D

I'm going to assume you're using lr-gambatte as your GB emulator.

Start a GB game. Open the RGUI by using the hotkey combo you have setup (by default: Select + X) Scroll down to Options and press A. Scroll down to GB Colorization Press left or right to cycle through the options from Custom to OFF. Press B to exit to the Quick Menu. Scroll to the top to Resume. Press A on Resume to resume the game.

The green overlay is now gone. Feel free to try out the different colour modes and see how they look.

@etheling excellent work. Looks really slick on the side-bars there.

@Clyde That would be awesome. I've written a script that will take a folder of videos and, using FFmpeg, overlay images on top of them like scan lines and a bezel and spit out a new video. It would be so nice to be able to do this as an image instead like retroarch does.

@GreenHawk84 try Gimp. Free, updated often and works just the same.

@mitu said in How to change default Vectrex overlay directory:

\retropie\configs\all\retr

Oh, that's great. I didn't know that was the correct path for Vectrex overlays. Thanks!!!

@roslof
Did that, but nothing changed.
I have no idea where else to look.
Talk about frustrating.

I had this issue too, followed same process, but they still overlap the vertical games.

Here's one for the arcade Passing Shot. Nothing spectacular but the one on Bezel Project is 4:3 rather than 3:4 so doesn't fit.

Thanks, that did it.

Here are some NES Boxart Themed Bezels for Retroarch that I made on a whim. Each based on a famous developer of NES games. Nothing fancy here. Just an idea that came to me and I started tinkering. I wasn't even gonna share them but then I thought why not. Someone might like them.

It uses the HyperspaceMadness Shader

I don't use bezel project but in my case they were configured to the same emulator, genesis-gx to run master system, genesis and sega cd. I configured it to genesis since there is over 600 games and manually set the other two's each game through retroarch's overlay. Then saved each game's override.

@nono6493 said in SF1 Overlay?:

@GreenHawk84, You can have a look at the 16:9 1080p Overlays : Season 2 thread. I have just posted 3 new overlays for Street Fighters games including the first one.

Rock on! Thanks! If I think of any other ones I will mention it in case you bored enough. :D
