@TotallyGeeked Beautiful! thank you! very impressive work. So many great varieties to chose from, very cool. i like what you did with gamegear! Superb

Take a look at the Configuration hierarchy. You can have the overlays per-system if you add them to the system's retroarch.cfg file. For individual games, you can use the game override in RetroArch to set the overlays.

That's time to publish my new set of overlays. I try to keep a weekly rythm, but this time it was not easy. No time to work on them so I have done easy and very basic. So here are 3 new overlays from Sega games. I will do better next time. Oh, I do not forget @meleu's script. I will try to do everything inside the repository to make it compatible as soon as possible. Alien Storm Shinobi Shadow Dancer Now, I go back to my works on some new ones. See you soon.

@bigcache I thought in CMD is would be simple as move *.zip.cfg *.cfg

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

Problem is I don't think that works with my overlay as I've set a custom viewport size and location so that would also have to be flipped

Thanks Mitu for link, seems they have MOVED custom setting number from 22 to 23. Well know one of the tasks I will need to do over Christmas holidays, cfg file updates :/

@mbrett Do you have a screenshot to show the problem ? Have you tried toggling 'Integer scaling' on/off to see if it makes a difference ?

@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.

Beautiful graphics! Thanks!

@caver01 Yeah in my reference pic here, it's supposed to look like this: That's U.N. Squadron / Area 88 on SNES. The Widescreen overlay is supposed to have pillarbox like what is shown in the pic. It uses the same video settings as the other CRT's. 960 x 720

hey @dask, i spent a little time with this and managed to figure out a few things.. expanding on your idea of using the overlay/bezel system, it's possible to (using a hotkey combo) swap a transparent overlay with a control image overlay. this can be done on a per-system basis using the retroarch.cfg files located in /opt/retropie/configs/<system> retroarch.cfg: overlay_directory = "/your/path/to/overlays" input_overlay_enable = true input_overlay_hide_in_menu = true input_overlay = "/your/path/to/overlays/mame-controls.cfg" input_overlay_opacity = 0.9 input_overlay_scale = 1.0 input_overlay_next_btn = "6" i think you can substitute the last line with input_overlay_next = "<keyboard key>" and input_overlay_next_axis = "<joystick axis>" to adapt this to your hardware scheme. next, create the two images needed: transparent.png, and mame-controls.png and here are the contents of mame-controls.cfg: overlays = 2 overlay0_overlay = transparent.png overlay1_overlay = mame-controls.png overlay1_name = "mame-controls" overlay0_full_screen = true overlay1_full_screen = true overlay0_descs = 1 overlay0_desc0 = "overlay_next,400,460,rect,40,20" overlay0_desc0_next_target = "mame-controls" overlay1_descs = 0 there probably already exists a much better way of doing it, so this is just a proof of concept. either way, hope it's enough to help you get started.

@RedFarmer i have trouble with the 1280x1024... the game field aspect ratio is not right... the cfg is not working original resolution was 160x144px which is 1:1.111 but your version is is almost 1:1. I think ill try a different one or convert one 16:9 myself

@UDb23 looks really good buddy... you've just made me want to play asteroids :D

If it may be of help for anyone else i found a solution, even though it's not optimal. If i edit the game override file that was created and add: input_overlay_enable = "true" then the overlay is displayed. So, now i need to manually edit all the config files that should have an overlay which is not optimal but atleast it works. What i don't understand is why RetroArch don't add this line by itself when i save a game override with the overlay option turned on. You can find more information about this at: https://docs.libretro.com/guides/libretro-overlays/ When everybody else activate overlays and save, do you get the input_overlay_enabled added automatically?
