The rom is fine. When I put this rom in the JAKKS folder, it works. I don't know what's going on with my classich folder. Roms with MAME artwork and retroarch overlays (at the same time) do not work. I'll see what I can do. The problem is 100% on my side, not related to the script.

Solved: It was my emulators.cfg file in /opt/retropie/configs/all . It seems it was corrupted. I deleted everything inside. Now it's fine and I'll start to do MAME artworks (MAME format) for classich with @JIMMYFROMTHEBAY bezels if he agrees.

Fine by me :)

Anything I post on these forums is fair game to be used by anyone for anything, no need to ask.

@JimmyFromTheBay

Can you give the realistic bezels a try ?

Orionsangel

It's fine as long as you give credit and links. I actually welcome it because with what you're doing these bezels can be used by more people.

Folly

@Orionsangel

Added you in the first post.
I saw that some files are missing from part1.
And I would like to have just 1 pack that I can download and generate files from.
Or perhaps better, have all the files separately on a google drive.

Can we discuss that in an other thread ?

Does the 720.zip.cfg contain this now ? :
input_overlay = "/home/pi/RetroPie/downloads/Orionsangels_Arcade_Overlays_For_Retroarch_Part1/overlay/realistic/720.cfg"

yes

Folly

@DTEAM

So everything works now from the arcade folder.
(apart from bios files not found)
But not from the realistic folder, correct ?

You should check if you have /opt/retropie/config(.hdmi)/realistic containing also the emulators.cfg etc.
And that realistic is found in the es_systems of emulationstation.

Nothing works except if I cut and paste xxxxxxx.zip.cfg directly into the arcade roms folder.

Folly

@DTEAM

What does it do then, when you paste the .zip.cfg inside the arcade folder and run a rom from that folder ?

It loads automatically with the good presets. Everything works fine, but I have to copy everything to Arcade directly

Folly

@DTEAM

OK, That is what I wanted to know.
So it will work, but not from the realistic folder, correct ?

Yes

@DTEAM

So not showing the bezel and not having the correct viewpoint is solved now.

What is left is that you can't run roms from the realistic folder.
Do other folders, like classich or konamih have the same problem ?

DTEAM

@Folly
Why have you create a "realistic" system in es_system.cfg?

I'm using MAME Artworks for those folders . I need to download bezel's with your script first. I'll do a test.

Well I could have chosen arcade.
But most people have already made bezels for that directory.
To create one specifically for the realistic ovelays I picked realistic, so we have it separated from the original arcade folder.
That way we can make multiple arcade folders with different overlays that do not influence each other.

Do roms load from the realistic directory without using bezels ?
Have you installed the binary lr-mame ?

When I load a rom from realistic directory, the bezels working well, It's normal because all cfg files are in that folder. The problem is that when you load a rom outside of this folder, nothing works unless you cut and paste the appropriate cfg file into your rom directory like arcade or capcom 1 etc.

Does it also shows the game ?
Like this ? :

DTEAM

@Folly
Yes , but I added MAME 2003 plus in the loading option lr-mame doesn't work for 720 (for me) . I didn't update my lr-mame

Folly

@DTEAM

So it's not really an issue.
Your roms doesn't match lr-mame and therefor will not work, correct.

Can you get the rom from mame-0.231-merged and install the latest binary of lr-mame to see if this works ?
