Arcade bezels instructions
-
Hi.
I'm trying to set the arcade bezels but my English level is very low and I don't understand the instructions of the Floob's video, is there any kind of written instructions to set them?
Thanks in advance!
-
@space-invader If you are looking to apply bezels for specific games, you can download examples from the git hub link below, that link also has the instructions needed.
-
Thanks! I will take a look.
-
Ok, I have downloaded and run rp-video-manager, in options option 4 download neccessary files and applied 1080p overlays and no changes in the arcade games, what am I doing wrong?
-
@space-invader Are you using Lr-Mame2003 as your emulator?
-
Yes
-
@space-invader What game did you test?
-
Sorry for the late reply, I have tried 1943, bubble bobble, galaxian, space invaders, pacman...
-
@space-invader Most of the games you listed don't have overlays.
Try to test just pacman...
You should have the following files in the below folders. Does that match what you see on your pi?
/home/pi/roms/arcade
pacman.zip.cfg
pacman.zip/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/overlays/arcade-bezels/
pacman_udb-ovl.png
pacman.cfg -
Ok, I am not currently in home so I can't confirm at this moment, but I will do ASAP.
-
-
I will check all. As I said my English level os low and I don't understand many things, but I hope that pointing me in the correct dirección will help too much.
Many thanks.

@space-invader Google Translate ftw! 😉

pacman.cfgFirst folder should be /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade and there only are The zip files
The other, inside /overlays is /arcade-bezel-overlays, not /arcade-bezels
-
@space-invader If you are using different folders you need to edit the .zip.cfg file so that points to your directory; then you place the overlay files manually in your folders as suggested by @HurricaneFan (.zip.cfg goes in the same folder of rom; .png and .cfg into the overlays folder)
-
@UDb23 I have not changed the default folders, but /roms/arcade is in /home/pi/RetroPie not in /home/pi at least in the image I downloaded yesterday...
And the other one I am not saying I have changed the folder's name but the folder beeing created - I supposse by rp-video-manager - is named /arcade-bezels-overlays, not /arcade-bezels, as said by HurricaneFan.
I don't know whether I am beeing understood or not...
-
@space-invader I goofed on the rom folder path. You are correct about that.
-
@HurricaneFan In both cases?
-
@space-invader I messed up the path only for the rom location. The overlays folder is correct.
The overlay images and config files should go in:
/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/overlays/arcade-bezels/ -
note: you can place those PNG and cfg overlay files basically where you want. The .Zip.cfg on the other hand must be in the same folder as the game ROM.
For everything to work make sure that path INSIDE the cfg files points to YOUR folders/files.
@Floob tutorial and tool use overlay folder names that are different from my setup; that's why tool probably is not working with my overlays, unless you edit the cgfs first
Hope this helps.
