Hello @Chito , I'm lead project of a small free software that "generate" scanlines effect for pc games. I'm working on a new design and i need to ask you, would you agree that I use your beautiful Game Gear overlay you made please ?

Here is the design :

Here is a link to the software : https://s4windows.itch.io/scanlines-for-windows
Fingers crossed 🤞
i'll be able to credit you in a .txt file inside the software folder, maybe on youtube (description) and maybe on itch..io if i find a good spot ( i'm totally new on this website)

Have a nice day,

Very nice! Thanks!

@denyou I just got this working with @sleve_mcdichael's help on reddit. See if there's anything in that thread that helps or drop back in and I'll try to walk you through it here. It works like a charm and is a really great feature.

Got it working, if anyone else is interested in using this bezel pack, I combined the bezel and crt overlays for each game into one image using gimp, exported that as mslug.png and then I made a .cfg file and named that mslug.cfg . Put both files in the opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/overlays folder. Make sure you name both the .png and .cfg files the same for each game.

My cfg file looks like

overlays = 1

overlay0_overlay = mslug.png

overlay0_full_screen = true

overlay0_descs = 0

@jamrom2 Thanks for confirming mate

@dominodomino please ensure you fill out all of https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first when requesting support.

a verbose log for when it works vs when it doesn’t would be useful. note that shaders aren’t save via overrides: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Shaders-and-Smoothing/#installation

@tpr It looks better but still not full res. I have no experience with mame2016 but afaik bezels in current mame should be high res (latest mame won't run on Pi).
As you are using lr-mame2003plus would you try my overlay for GORF that uses both LR overlay + mame backdrop (for the lamps animations):

It is high res.

Added pause overlays for Neo Turf Masters. and Windjammers

You appear to be correct! :)

When I did a BezelProject install, I got a different set... I think I'm good now but can someone make a quick comment on the 2x sets that BezelProject offers. How did I unintentionally grab one set versus the other?

I obviously managed to select the other set on my previous attempt! :)

Cheers!

Ahh, OK thanks for that. i didn't know that was the case. Not too much I can do then. Well thanks for replying anyway.

It is Ok.

Here are some quick background overlays I assembled for Tatsuya79’s amazingly accurate preset screen shader for Gameboy games on Retroarch.

Input Overlays as I understand them are not ideal for this. I can see in the examples that static images are manipulated across the display, but they are still static images. Say I wanted to implement a timer that hangs out in the corner during gameplay - I would have to configure logic to swap out images for each digit of the timer every time increment. That's a bit much! I'm just looking for some way to add my own system text, similar to how the frame counter, fps, or memory utilization can be optionally displayed on the OSD.

As for the latter point, it seems like reaching out to the memory domains is something you can do in libretro according to the API, but I'm not sure how to set up a script that would assess memory state as it is executed - is there any kind of next_frame event or otherwise that could be used to fire off a script to check? There are numerous layers in the system, each with their own sets of capabilities, scripts, and events, so I'm not sure which layer I want to be targeting to get this kind of functionality.

@passionforpins I suppose I should post the file and configs :)

input_overlay = "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/arcade-bezels/turbo.cfg" input_overlay_enable = "true" input_overlay_opacity = "1.000000" input_overlay_scale = "1.000000" aspect_ratio_index = "0"

turbo.cfg

#Turbo (Sega 1981) bezel with working LED scores, tach and gear #Repackaged and totally redesigned for 1920x1080 using LR-MAME2000 by passion4pins 12/2019 #Original artwork credits go to:- #Krakerman, UDB23, Nono6493 and many unknown. #Based on MAME 0.375b overlays = 1 overlay0_overlay = turbo-1920.png overlay0_full_screen = true overlay0_descs = 0

@retroroms Yes

Finally I removed everything and reinstalled retroarch and I will take a pack made for retropie, much simpler
