My Console Themed Overlays for Retroarch
-
These are fantastic, Orion. Thank you for sharing and all of your hard work!

@Orionsangel Any chance that you could register at Github and put the overlays there? It has several advantages over a single-file Mediafire download. It's more transparent, can be downloaded and updated easily from the Linux/Retropie console and others could contribute by making pull requests from their own Github repositories, which many of the content creators here already have. Finally, someone could easily continue your work if you ever happen to abandon it.
Just a friendly suggestion. I just saw too many great creations become inaccessible only because their download link vanished after some time.

Thanks, these are rad! It's my first time using overlays and for some reason they aren't working - my games are set to 4:3 but all I get is a darker image (the opacity no doubt) and black borders with no actual overlay. What am I doing wrong?
-
@sad_muso same thing here.
I on retropie 4.6 raspbian 10, rpi 3b+ and I installed the official image. -
@wmarcio Yup, exactly the same setup here too. Is it related to resolution? Mine is just on whatever the default is (assume 1080p)
-
@sad_muso I don't think so, mine is in 720p resolution.

Having the same issue. I believe the resolution on these are too high and have to be downscaled.

Exactly ... I had some free time and decided to take a look, the images are in 2560x1440, must be 1920x1080. I'm too lazy to do that now, if anyone does, please share the resized files.
Original size:
Thxs.

@wmarcio Nice one! Tried a Genesis one as a test and good news is it works at 1920 X 1080! Bad news is, there's frame rate drop on Genesis. I'm on a Pi 3B. Is there a way around this?
-
@sad_muso It actually seems to be a combination of overlay plus crt-pi-curvature shader. Guessing that shaders are the biggest overhead 😞
-
@sad_muso There are, but it also depends of the shader itself. Did you try @ghogan42's "zfast" shaders? They should be notably faster than the "crt-pi-curvature" shaders. There are also curved ones among them (one normal, one vertical) that I'm using togehter with overlays myself.

@Clyde Yes, I'm currently working on that with someone else. Hope to get them all up there soon.
-
@Orionsangel Great! I'm looking forward to that. 👍

Here's a link to download all to my Retroarch bezels so far.
-
These are bezels I made a while back for the first five Tomb Raider games on Playstation. I use them on Retroarch. They're now available in 1080p.
You can download the 1080p bezels here - https://bit.ly/3bCuZuM

Thank you, I admire your work. Are the images in this pack in 1080p?
-
@wmarcio Most are but some are not.
-
@Orionsangel the best overlays imo! Thanks a ton for your work.
pretty low of me to patronize you then make a request lol - but can you toss together something for Philips CD-i? I "think" thats the only console missing thats glaringly obvious (oh plus Neo Geo CD & Nintendo Wii).
Ive been using these since about ever (apart from upscaling them to 4k) and dont intend to stop. I'm just OCD enough to loathe mixing and matching overlays from different sets so the fact that there's a few MIA eats at the deepest recesses of my soul.
