            Fingers crossed that you may get it done in your chosen timeline ;D

            P.S.: Instead of opening a new post, expanding your older one would have been (IMHO) a wiser move (So new readers could see the whole story, for now this post holds no relations (except within the users who remember it) to your first one).

              Agreed. A unified build thread is more reader friendly and also less cluttering on the forum. Cab looks promising so far.

                  @Golden-Plimsoles Hi mate, like a few other people have already said,it is poor forum etiquette to open multiple threads for the same topic. You can just reply to one of your other 2 build threads to continue progress.

                  Mods, and chance these can all be merged or something?

                    @markyh444 I’ll be honest I can’t see how to do that, on other forums I have done it no problem. This one alludes me

                        So just reply to tour own topic? Thanks for the advice. This is the most underwhelming forum I’m on. Full of negativity

                            @Golden-Plimsoles use one topic for a single subject - that's how a forum works. Users will track your post easily instead of navigating 3 posts to see updates to the same subject.

                            I merged the topics you've opened.

                                @mitu Thanks for that. I couldn’t see how to do it before, it was just me being dumb.

                                  @Golden-Plimsoles looking tidy that. I always think a nice bezel wrapping finishes off the look rather than ramping up the resolution.

                                    @markyh444 I totally agree. I would like know how to add a bezel to a specific game, as the vertical games in Arcade don’t look as good in 16:9. The Marquee has been delivered today so nearly complete.
                                    (Apologies for the other day, I took a previous post the wrong way, and got frustrated)

                                            @Golden-Plimsoles said in Final Stage. Hope to have it finished for this weekend.:

                                            I would like know how to add a bezel to a specific game, as the vertical games in Arcade don’t look as good in 16:9.

                                            @UDb23 created many bezel overlays and collected them in his Github repository, using the script rpie-art from @meleu to install them. See here:

                                            Another more recent overlay project comes from @Orionsangel
