      BTW, I found that I needed to put the override .cfg files here to get them to work with Retropie 4:

      /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/MAME 2003

        I'm going to try this tonight! Thank you!

        I've done this manually twice recently! ...thankfully I only play around 100 MAME games total so there weren't too many vertical ones.

            @dankcushions so i created a folder called MAME 2003 in /opt/retropie/configs/mame-libretro added all the files and it didnt work. then today i updated rpie setup script then updated mame 2003 from binary and still doesnt work. still only sees the crt-pi.glsl i have tried many roms. i am on a pi 3 with retropie 4.01 but i updated retroarch yesterday and mame 2003 today

                Since i have no special mame configs and since i couldnt get this to work so i just used bulk rename utility to add the .zip into the names.

                    @Rion i just put yours directly in my roms folder since you already had the .zip in the name. I dont know what the folder name was supposed to be where to put yours in the fba config folder.

                      @edmaul69 The ones i posted are for mame not fba.

                        @Rion i was talking about those fba ones. im sorry i didnt realise you had a mame set as well. do yours still go in a folder named MAME 2003? or do i keep them in the folder you get from the zip?

                            @dankcushions @Sharkus @Dochartaigh

                            Updated for RetroPie 4.1

                            mame2003-crt-pi-vertical-overrides-.zip.cfg

                            mame2003-crt-pi-curvature-vertical-overrides-.zip.cfg

                            Place these in you mame-libretro or arcade folder.

                            how are these 'updated' for 4.1? the mame gamelist hasn't changed.

                            also, whilst i appreciate your effort i think your alternative versions are confusing this thread and unnecessary. the ones i uploaded in my original post should work for anyone using retropie 4.1. your .zip.cfg overrides in the rom folder are a retropie hack made before retroarch supported per-game cfg overrides. there's no need for that approach any more, and maybe it won't always be supported.

                            i think we should use the properly supported retroarch way as it has advantages. for example, if you use a .zip.cfg rom override with config_save_on_exit = true in your main retroarch.cfg, your per-game shader override will migrate to your main retroarch.cfg. this doesn't happen with the supported approach.

                              i see, the shader location has changed in 4.1. i will update my .cfgs.

                              still, unless someone can give me a good reason for keeping the .zip.cfg versions, i will be cleaning up this thread

                                Sorry about that i should have been more clear about the .zip.cfg files i posted. Do you want me to remove these and add the cfg files only or post both for people to choose?

                                I have also posted this

                                Mame2003 (0.78u6) Generic Arcade Bezel for every game with crt-pi-curvate (vertical & horizontal)

                                And this

                                crt-pi shader users - automatic usage of crt-pi-vertical in vertical games in lr-fbalpha 029739 (formerly lr-fba-next)

                                Same here with only .zip.cfg files. Do you want me to Change these to and only post the cfg files or both?

                                  @Rion thanks! yeah for me the cfg files only should be the ones we use. i don't see the reason for the .zip.cfg ones going forward. i will update my initial post once i've re-run my script with the new shader directory.

                                      Is there a chance someone not on a new enough version of RetroArch will get confused why the retroarch based location/overrides dont work?
                                      Although I would hope as more and more people use the current version of RetroPie/RetroArch it shouldnt matter.

                                        @dankcushions Sorry about the delay. Here are the fixed ones for RetroPie 4.1 *.cfg Only

                                        mame2003_Vertical_ crt-pi-vertical

                                        mame2003_Vertical_crt-pi-curvature-vertical

                                        These should go into the folder "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/config/MAME 2003/" or and not the rom folder.

                                        Please tell me if i misses anything?

                                          i thought about this but the vertical shader was only included in retropie from 4.0 ish, and RA overrides were late august, so hopefully it shouldn't be a problem for many. hopefully!
