      Hi there,

      I have a bunch of overlays from the Arcade Bezel project which until recently displayed correctly. I've obviously changed something somewhere and now none of them display.

      I have the following configuration:
      roms directory: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro

      This contains a number of the following files:

      <romname>.zip
      <romname>.zip.cfg

      Each <romname>.zip.cfg contains:

      input_overlay = "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/ArcadeBezels/<romname>.cfg"
      

      /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/ArcadeBezels contains a number of the following files:

      <romname>.cfg
      <romname>.png

      An example of <romname>.cfg would be:

             overrlays = 1
             overlay0_overlay = <romname>.png
             overlay0_full_screen = true
             overlay0_descs = 0
      

      I've looked in the log /dev/shm/runcommand.log but so far haven't been able to find any useful pointers as to why the config isn't loading correctly.

      Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

        @rogerdodger Apologies for the weird markdown formatting, I'm doing this on my phone and have screwed up the layout.

          Most likely caused by an update of the Libretro core name that you use - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/20280/. What emulator are you using ?

              The try to see if the topic I mentioned before applies to your case - the core name change has 'displaced' the .cfg files' folder.

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

                  Many thanks for your help.
