Video Resolutions - Including as much as possible

thrussmeister

So firstly thanks to @floob some really useful videos , I've gone from having no clue to slowly figuring things out.
I have a PI3 with Retropie and i'm currently playing with video resolutions .

I've followed the videos and this forum post http://smartretro.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=85 and have managed to configure SNES & Megadrive , I wanted to configure my other systems Maseter Sysstem Nes, SG1000, most importantly my lr-mame2003 , this post from the old forum http://blog.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/scanlines-overlays-an-configs-for-softer-look/ had a link to the reoslutions..doesn anyone have this or is able to support what best ratios etc and overlay files it should point too wihtin the 16-9 folder...

I've wrapped most of patl settings up in this tool, so you can read the files in there if you want.

Love it , my pi is looking awesome..ive had a look through some of your videos is there anything i can do about mame lr-mame 2003 to be exact. its the last one i have thats still very pixelated i was going to use the method you talk about here http://smartretro.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=85 but what do you think would be the best file to point it at within the 16-9 folder

i do appreciate your help by the way a week ago i had no idea what Linux even was so learning fast with your help

@thrussmeister
With arcade games, there are a variety of resolutions and aspect ratios to consider, making bezel overlays a difficult choice unless you run on a per rom basis, and use overlays like this:

Although I suppose you could just use a non-bezel based 1080p overlay to cover the lot, like this style Scanlines_4x_1080p_Borderless.cfg.

So instead try using a shader, you can apply using

video_shader = /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/shader/crt-pi.glslp
video_shader_enable = true

in the emulator/system based retroarch.cfg
