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

Here's an UPDATED Tutorial on how to add my Bezels to Retroarch
using the the Mega Shader

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

Works!!! Thanks!!!

@lootchamoneytho Please don't bump old topics.
The default retroarch.cfg created by RetroPie can be found int the same folder (/opt/retropie/configs/all), it's named retroarch.cfg.rp-dist.

The Super Famicom shows up as a separate system in the carousel but the ROMs are actually stored within a subdirectory of the SNES ROMs...

@mitu OK thanks

Fixed it, I simply updated lr-mame2003 in retropie setup.

Many thanks for your help.

@mitu ok

i dont have anything different with the neogeo core other then the overlay. so adding the line to disable override is going to work for me.

but still knowing a different way is good to know just in case

@mitu My mistake! You were right! The config was set to true in the retroarch.cfg file in the /opt/retropie/configs/arcade directory.

Can you get a verbose logging from running the ROM with lr-fbalpha and post the output to pastebin.com ? Does it work with lr MAME emulator ?

You can see how the overlay is configured for a game by looking at one of the overlay repositories used by the script - for instance https://github.com/UDb23/rpie-ovl/tree/master/arcade/1944 shows what configurations are necessary to add overlays for the1944.zip rom file.

@dizzle151 said in Help with bezel overlays not showing for GBC emulator, but working for NES and GB?!:

Sorry if this is answered somewhere else but I search and couldn't find anything.

I recently added overlays to my retropie emulators and have had perfect luck with NES and GB, however, my GBC emulator(s) will not show the bezels even though I can select them fine. I have tried all three GBC emulators with the same issue. All overlay files are stored in the correct folder.... Super confused as to why they'd work flawlessly with two emulators and not the third.

Please help! I am not overly technical, but have had no issues until this point. Thanks in advance!

Control in bezelname.cfg if the name contain "-" delete and rename Image name without "-"
Ex. Super-nintendo, Image file must Be "supernintendo" it work for me.

@capcob Hello!

Is there any place I can find your Super Cobra bezel with transparent parts?

Thanks in advance!

That's easy - download the image from retropie.org.uk/download and install it. We don't support 3rd party images - like the one you seem to have installed.

i dont get it, still dosent work, its only a little bit dark on display when i set the overlay..

//EDIT: im an idiot. overlay was in 2560 x 1440 and not 1920x1080..it works now lol

Added MERCS

Thank you guys, I got it to work, finally. Damn settings and stuff!!

There is no fixed folder for the actual image of the overlay. Libretro cores require the overlay image + 2 cfg files (one of these cfg must be in the same folder of correspoding rom).
Example (and overlays) here.

@epicrean said in Bezels and sizing basic question:

I went through Retroarch and changed the X and Y position

Every overlay is made for a specific screen resolution (not for specific TV); e.g. 1080p, if both TVs are set to 1080p the overlays must display correctly on both.
On top of that each overlay has a viewport (actual game area) that is sized for specific game area scale (e.g. integer scale, 3x, etc). If your retroarch settings for a specific core are different than the settings the overlay was intended for then it will not display correctly.
