My Realistic Arcade Overlays for Retroarch Collection

[bietekwiet]

I just registered to this forum to say thank you for this generous gesture. The overlays look absolutely gorgeous and I will be trying them.
Currently I have automated bezels from the "Bezel Project". From within Retropie settings the Bezel Project can download the specific bezel for each game and automate the process.
I wonder if these bezels could be automated as well so we don't have to go through hundreds of games?
For now I just test one by on.

Fabulous work on those overlays!

Cheers,

Chris

PS: I seem to struggle to get them working. It might be a matter of putting the right files in the right folders? Which folders might they be?
Most of my Arcade games are Mame2003, Mame2012 and Fba.

I managed to get it working by just putting the image (.png) and .cfg file in the Pi/Home/.config/retroarch/<custom folder> and then in-game settings > screen overlays point to the .cfg file.

Below image on my DIY bartop with the custom bezel and another one with the "Bezel Project" bezel.

I have to admit that your realistic bezels make the screen very small but that can be handy for some games where I want a sharp image over a big image and have "Integer scaling" on in video settings.

@bietekwiet That looks awesome! What a cool idea!

@bietekwiet Thank you for the kind words. I'm humbled.

I use the Mame 2016 core with Retroarch. In my first pack you can see the instructions but I don't know if it would work the same on Retropie.

Btw here is a new realistic Arcade overlay for the game, Street Fighter Alpha 3 for use on Retroarch. It comes in three versions. Yellow, Maroon or Chrome molding.

This overlay is coming soon on my Arcade Retroarch Pack #2.

@Orionsangel These are beautiful! I've only seen Marble Madness with a black bezel in arcades. Was this bezel a new creation? Or did it actually exist in some form.

Just love these.

Thanks! No, it's not official, but it should be. That game deserved a proper artwork bezel.

Damn, that tilted screen is fantastic!

These do look great on my phone screen. Can someone post a pic of them not screen capped and actually on a TV or cabinet?

I’m just a tad confused about what’s real and what is the overlay lol. It’s that good.
