Overlays compilation repository for consoles and handhelds (1080p)
-
After spending some time grabbing overlays here and there, I have regrouped them into an easily-installed compilation : https://github.com/cosmo0/retropie-overlays
All systems should be covered (except the ones without a Libretro emulator, of course), sometimes with a "generic" overlay. Let me know if you find any problem.
To install, just download the latest release for the pack you're interested in, and copy/paste at the appropriate places.
Most of the overlays come from either ScreenScraper, OrionsAngel, MezzB or Duimon. Go thank these people if you like these packs.
See full credits here.There are 2 available packs at the moment:
An overlay pack with CRT "curvature effect" shaders applied.
An integer-scaled overlay pack with the scanlines included in the overlay.

New release with new overlays!
https://github.com/cosmo0/retropie-overlays/releases/tag/v1.2
New system overlays in the "shaders" pack:
- Panasonic 3DO
- Atari 5200
- Atari Jaguar
- Coleco ColecoVision
- Mattel IntelliVision
- Sega Saturn
There are also PSD files for Playstation 2 and Gamecube in
_sources/systems-custom/
, but since they don't work at all on a Raspberry Pi, I did not create the overlay config (it should be easy to do, should you want to). -
As per @cloudlink request, here is a "realistic" overlay for consoles :
Add this to your
retroarch.cfg
file at each system folder in theconfigs
shared folder:input_overlay = /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/systems/generic_old_crt.cfg custom_viewport_width = 994 custom_viewport_height = 758 custom_viewport_x = 318 custom_viewport_y = 136 aspect_ratio_index = 22 video_force_aspect = true input_overlay_opacity = 1 video_shader = /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/shaders/crt-pi-curvature.glslp video_shader_enable = true
Create a
generic_old_crt.cfg
file: open theconfigs
shared folder, browse toall/retroarch/overlays/systems
(you might need to create this last folder) and add the following lines:overlays = 1 overlay0_overlay = generic_old_crt.png overlay0_full_screen = true overlay0_descs = 0
Copy the following image alongside it and make sure it's named
generic_old_crt.png

New release (after 2 years lol)
https://github.com/cosmo0/retropie-overlays/releases/tag/v1.3
Up to 64 systems (I cheat because some of them don't have - yet - Libretro emulators).
Basically there is now an overlay for ALL Retropie systems.

New realease: v1.3.1
https://github.com/cosmo0/retropie-overlays/releases/tag/v1.3.1
A few small fixes (and a Recalbox pack).
-
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
