Where can I find the option to turn on the gear overlay from driving games?
-
@drog1998 Depends on what's supported/contained within a particular file - And I am not sure whether there are any with more complex "animations" (I am atm not aware of/remembering any animated steering-wheels for instance [edit: hangon actually has one], though asteroid has animated buttons in one of its views) - but those flaged with LP should at least use some form of "highlighting" Buttons/LEDs (High/Low. Incoming, Weapon Selection, whatever some games used as off-screen meta-information).

This what i'm referring to

@drog1998 From outrun.zip (Mr.Do's Side) the view (Mame[TAB] Menu) -> Video -> Screen #0 ->) "Widescreen Shifter-L". The Image you linked seem to be from a lowres Display, as the layouts shapes for the Gear aren't scaled and stick to the lower left/right (Shifter-L/Shifter-R) of the gamescreen (so e.g. on a 1600x1200 Display will occupy just a small part on the lowerleft of Mames displayed Output and won't reach from top to bottom of the gamescreen.)
Edit: Sorry! The Views for the Widescreen Shifter-L/R and Shifter-L/R seem to be build into the "driver" for the rom and aren't in need of the artwork file!
So it is just TAB->Video->Screen #0->Shifter L|R or Widescreen Shifter-L|R. If your Mame Core ain't offering that option, you have to try newer ones (you may scan through the history/mameinfo.dat for outrun to look for the introduction of that feature). -
@Ashpool Sorry if i wasn't clear, i'm just after a small hi/lo indicator in the corner not a big top to bottom one, this was just and example :)
I downloaded the outrun.zip file from Mr Do and there are no files in there for this small animation, only large bezels.

@drog1998 See my edited post above... the widescreen shifters are a feature of the roms driver since mame .224, not sure (most possible earlier release) for the onscreen 4:3 ones.

@Ashpool it seems like the were there in .132. How do i install that on Retropie?

@Ashpool ah ok. I've got Mame2010 but my Outrun ROM doesn't work with it, it there a specfic place for Mame2010 roms?
-
@drog1998 whether a rom runs with a particular core ain't depending on the folder (that would decide which (if installed) emulators are available to choose from for the roms therein; for lr-mame-cores those would be arcade and mame-libretro.), but of its content (dumped information within the archive). You need a dump matching the cores requirements (defined/queryable within its dat/xml). Take a look at RetroPies Docs and the libretro docs about romsets. In short you need to aquire or build a rom that matches the core requirements (and don't ask for it, as that would be violating the forum rules).
