      @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.

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

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

      I've made some new ones for Mega Drive, 4:3 Integer scaled, overscale on. I'm using the zfast CRT standard shader, looks nice.
      I've gone for a minimalist look this time.

      Not very happy with the Korean one but it's very difficult to find a decent logo.

      Feel free to use as you will!

      @KoCinsKy

      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.

      @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

      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

      @mitu Indeed. You were right all along. I really appreciate you helping me track that down. Its been a long time since I have messed with my RP and I had become more unfamiliar with everything than I was when I was more into it. ;)

      @Norstein We don't support 3rd party images and links to ROMs/BIOS/copyrighted material is not allowed.
      Install the image from retropie.org.uk/download and configure your overlays there.

      It depends on how you're trying to set up the bezels. You can, in theory, put the .cfg anywhere and then point to it for each game. Or create an individual .cfg for each game. So it really depends on what you're trying to accomplish and how you are going to accomplish it.

      I started messing around with individual bezels for arcade (and other) games, but then I stumbled across the Bezel Project. They have a preconfigured set of bezels for literally thousands of games (I count over 7000 games). You can also install bezels for individual systems. The only annoyance is that the roms need to be named according to the No-Intro naming convention, however this only affects console roms. Arcade roms are supported by their standard rom names.

      You can see a video on The Bezel Project here:

      You can get The Bezel Project script here:
      https://github.com/thebezelproject/BezelProject

      Once you're installed reboot and you can install bezels for individual systems through the Retropie Configurations in the standard menu.

      Wonderful work! I used a couple of these in place of my current overlays!
      I have a request that might be easy for you. There doesn't seem to be a great Vertical Lynx overlay. Any way you could make one since you already have the source material for lynx? Thanks!

      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.
