      @edmaul69 i have 4.3k roms in my fba folder no way im going through all those figuring out which is horizontal lol....

      So if i do it thru retroarch, and make the horizontal one default.. the roms with .cfg files will override default setting right?

      And Rion's thread with the .cfg files those configs are only for vertical right?? or did he make everygame use vertical?

        @red2blue they are only configs for vertical games. For say fba, for horizontal games, you would add a configuration to /opt/retropie/configs/fba/retroarch.cfg. Then every single horizontal game will use that config. Now all of the vertical ones have their own config from his download. It will still use settings from the retroarch.cfg but they have their own overlay and shader setting so it overrides the one in the retroarch.cfg.

            @red2blue if you look at the configs in the download they should be identical for horizontal games minus the word vertical and a dash. Dont add the word horizontal.

                @edmaul69 No I'm sorry. These are all made by John Merrit over at Libretro and they are all 16:9.

                But what you could do is to edit the original Bezels and format them to 4:3 with some of the side art cut out but still preserving the arcade monitor.

                    @edmaul69 it was Arcade_Generic_4x3.cfg btw

                    OR you can use this version opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/overlays/arcade-bezel-overlays/Final_Arcade_Generic_4x3.cfg

                        I think the screen area is the same for almost all of the generic overlays but I'm not sure.

                            If you are talking about editing the cfg files that's easy enough using notepad++ for example. But if you are talking about the png files then I don't know.
