@timbone316 You probably have save_on_exit in RetroArch. Try to open the RGUI (Select + X) while ingame and disable this.
To revert to the Mame2003 default retroarch.cfg file, re-install the package from the RetroPie-setup script.

New releases for both repositories!

@kmetz7547 you could ask PiPiggies.

New release : v1.4

https://github.com/cosmo0/retropie-overlays/releases/tag/v1.4

Found out about Recalbox "complete" pack, so I grabbed a few more systems from there.

Adds a few systems: Atari 800, Atari ST, MSX1/2/Turbo, Odyssey2/Videopac, Supergrafx, Samcoupe, X1, ZX81. And also Apple 2 but the emulator is not Libretro, so it doesn't display it. Changes Channel F & PCFX

@kmetz7547 Glad to know you could solve :-)

@Floob Thanks for stopping by! :)

The overlays I'm trying to convert are OrionsAngel's.
The only config files I have are the mameconfig and the mamelayout (in the zip)

I have generated the cfg just using the values in the mamelayout file, but they are pretty much all configured with the same values (unless my conversion script is wrong, which is possible), so I'm starting to think the values in the mameconfig file are important as well... but I just can't figure out what I should multiply.

For now I'm resigned to measure the values "by hand" in Photoshop (I have done about 20 of 250...) which will take some time but is not very hard.

thanks dave for your help , love these shaders, i would not use the pi for emulation if it was not for those, they look super solid

@thetraingoes As per https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, 3rd party images are not supported, since - as you discovered - each one has configurations that are non-standard for a RetroPie installation.

That being said, overlays/bezels are configured in RetroArch and you can disable them using the RetroArch GUI - bring it up with Hotkey + X while in game and disable the overlay/bezel. The image you're using might have specific RetroArch configs for the SNES core - see here. You can edit the SNES core configuration and remove the Overlay/Bezel lines for the SNES emulator.

Hello @mezzb

I have used your awesome overlays in a pack I've been building. I hope it's alright with you ? https://github.com/cosmo0/retropie-overlays

Please let me know if you have issues with your overlays inclusion.

Thank you very much :)

Created some Games Done Quick-esque overlays

@bobibrown Its in the integer scale folder in both 4:3 and pixel perfect sizes. I tried to make a crt one for full screen but it didn't look right

@flashpc yeah, it's great. I took advantage of this feature in my rpie-art tool (link on my signature).

Cheers!

@leatherface looks cool mate, if it was red it match my cab

@flyingtomahawk said in Overlays per rom folder?:

Thanks @Rion
So there is no way to avoid creating cfg files for each single game?

I think you can do it for NeoGeo because they have there own rom folder. Same way you setup a overlay for Nes, Snes and so on. But for Fba and Mame with different screen resolutionshot for many games and that's excluding the vertical games I don't think that's possible. But someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
