Playstation 1 - Animated Console Pad for Retroarch
By fercho
Created this idea , of an hybrid animated control with a Classic Playstation 1 console style.
Full HD 1920x1080 Resolution 16:9 Screen Ratio Animated Buttons
Recommended Video scale settings: (for a 16:9 screen ratio monitor)
SETTINGS >> VIDEO >> SCALING
INTEGER SCALE: OFF ASPECT RATIO: 4:3 CROP OVERSCAN: ON Use this setting on fullscreen and you should be good to go.
NOTE: Buttons should be responsive to touch/mouse clicks, But was intended to be used as a decorative/cosmetic overlay/border. DO NOT use on systems without hard controls (joypads/keyboards) as it doesn´t have access to the retroarch menu, you'll be stuck! (Mobile compatibily coming in the future)

Soqueroeu TV Backgrounds
Backgrounds for Mega Bezel Shader on Retroarch
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: This new package requires updated Retroarch versions (1.9.8 or higher) and Shader Mega Bezel pack V 0.9.097 (2022-01-05 Rev 2) or later.
-------------------------------------
This is about my original TV backgrounds for use in conjuction with HyperspaceMadness Mega Bezel Reflection Shader.
I think lots of people would be pleased to play old games using an actual CRT TV, so I created my own project as a nice way to have a simulated TV… INSIDE your actual TV or monitor. Believe me, this works pretty well!
Please consider my work with this project as complete. New backgrounds may or may not eventually appear. Feedback is really welcome.
I hope everybody enjoys SOQUEROEU – Mega Bezel TV Backgrounds!
-----------------------------------------
What is SOQUEREU - Mega Bezel TV Backgrounds?
My TV backgrounds are meant to be used with Retroarch. They are not conventional screen overlays: included presets automatically load configurations for Mega Bezel Reflection shader to obtain maximum retro-feeling. In fact, they are designed to work as an addon to the shader and cannot be used standalone like standard overlays as they don’t have any trasparent region for tube.
Why?
My idea is to develop special backgrounds to be used while playing close to big screens. Taking inspiration from other designers projects, I started creating my own backgrounds in Photoshop featuring simple TV images. They are intended to as little space for the image tube as possible, bringing comfort for those who play close to big screens.
Users may find several spots to improve my work, after all I’m still tranining my skill with graphical tools! Btw, I tried to develop a wide variation of colors and shapes, so they wouldn’t result repetitive. I hope people will enjoy playing games and customizing their experience with my assets.
What is Mega Bezel Reflection Shader?
This is a collection of special shaders with lots of customization possibilities, as well as beautiful real-time tube reflections! They were developed by HyperSpaceMadness, with feedback from many people who like old games. In my opinion, this is one of the biggest contributions to the retrogaming emulation scene.
Requirements
Retroarch 1.9.8 or later with simple presets enabled. Slang shaders previously installed in your Retroarch (download from Retroarch’s update menu). Shader Mega Bezel pack V 0.9.097 (2022-01-05 Rev 2) or later. Features (v2.0)
All backgrouns 16:9 @ 3840x2160 (4K) png format; Day and night presets for a comfortable experience (Night need normal preset for reference); No need for additional advanced preset adjustments; Flat and curve screen presets (NEW); Some graphics have color variations (NEW); Generic graphics for systems without their own TV (NEW); Added Nintendo Wii 16x9 preset (NEW); Added Sega Dreamcast preset (NEW); Systems included:
3DO Atari 2600 NEC PCE Super Grafx NEC PC Engine NEC PC Engine CD NEC PC Engine Duo NEC PC-FX NEC Turbo Duo NEC Turbo Grafx 16 NEC Turbo Grafx CD Nintendo Famicom Nintendo Famicom FDS Nintendo GameCube Nintendo N64 Nintendo NES Nintendo Super Famicom Nintendo Super Game Boy Nintendo Super NES Nintendo Wii (4x3 and 16x9) Sega Dreamcast Sega Mark III Sega Master System Sega Saturn Sega SG-1000 Sega CD Sega Genesis SNK NeoGeo AES Sony Playstation Sony Playstation 2 (4x3 only) To learn more about Mega Bezel Shader, please visit HSM's Forum Libretro page .
-------------------------------------------
How to use these backgrounds?
This guide assumes that you already use Mega Bezel shaders. It means you must have the Mega Bezel shader pack previously installed. If you haven't used these special shaders yet, look for additional information further down in this document.
These backgrouns are in 16:9 @ 3840x2160 format. Presets will always use the Standard version of Mega Bezel. Please note, there are no presets with Advanced parameter in this package.
Shader presets use relative path. You can then unzip this pack to any folder from the Retroarch root folder if you wish. If you choose a location other than this guide, consider the locations you determine to find shader presets.
1 - Inside the downloaded .zip you will see a folder called Soqueroeu-TV-Backgrounds_V2.0. Unzip this folder to Retroarch/shaders/
2 - When a game is running, load a shader preset. Find presets in one of these directories:
Retroarch/shaders/Soqueroeu-TV-Backgrounds_V2.0/presets/TV-Console
Retroarch/shaders/Soqueroeu-TV-Backgrounds_V2.0/presets/TV-Console-Night
Once applied, a shader preset might look like this:
NOTE: Some shader generated bezels are combined with a bezel built into the graphic. If you want more freedom to create your own bezel, you can use "solid" graphics available for some of them. This may require editing the file paths in the preset.
Beginning Users
if it's your first experience with Mega Bezel Shaders, here the complete instructions:
1 - You must have Retroarch 1.9.8 or later (you will not be able to load in previous versions).
2 - You will need Slang shaders previously installed in your Retroarch. Download them from Retroarch's update menu.
NOTE: You will only be able to see the Slang Shaders in the Retroarch download list if video drivers is set to Vulkan. It may be necessary to save changes and restart your Retroarch.
3 - You will need Shader Mega Bezel pack. Find the links on the MegaBezel page.
4 - If you have previous versions of Mega Bezel installed, you need to delete the old shader pack. Do not overwrite files, this can cause crashes.
5 - After downloading Mega Bezel pack, see inside the .zip there is a folder called bezel. Copy this folder into the following directory: Retroarch/shaders/shaders_slang.
6 - After downloading the TV Backgrounds pack, inside the .zip you will see a folder called Soqueroeu-TV-Backgrounds_V2.0. Unzip this folder to: Retroarch/shaders.
7 - Open Retroarch and go to driver options (Settings>Driver>Video). Set the video driver to Vulkan. It also works with GLCore, but seems to be faster with Vulkan.
8 - Still in Retroarch, go to Settings>Video>Scale. Set integer value scale to OFF. Set the screen aspect ratio to match your monitor, for example 16: 9.
9 - When a game is running, load a shader preset. Find presets in one of these directories:
/Retroarch/shaders/Soqueroeu-TV-Backgrounds_V2.0/presets/TV-Console
/Retroarch/shaders/Soqueroeu-TV-Backgrounds_V2.0/presets/TV-Console-Night
Note: A shader preset can take between 5 and 10 seconds to load. On first use, small stutters may occur when navigating through the parameter menus. The loading time can also be a little longer. This happens because the shader is caching the changes. Wait and trust!
10 - If any background appears upside down, access the shader parameters and modify the Flip Viewport Vertical option, in the [FLIP & ROTATE] section.
11 - If you want to change shader parameters, you should know that MegaBezel offers several customization options. Once you have desired result, you can save preset to Core (active core), content directory or whole system. I recommend you save by applying to platform/console folder contents, as each system operates with different display resolutions and a customization may present unwanted results for some other core.
IMPORTANT: When saving a preset, make sure you have the Simple Presets feature set to ON. This will save a preset that has a reference to the preset you loaded, along with any parameter changes you made. This is what will keep your presets loading correctly when the shader is updated in the future.
Have a good time!

Nintendo DS Overlay
By Ryoda
I love the designs by ÁlvaroMG but his DS design layout didn't work out for me. So I recreated it in a way to use the hybrid/top 2:1 ratio.
I made this with Retroarch in mind so results may vary if you use a different emulator.
Settings:
1080p: (1920 × 1080)
1870 Width
928 Height
1440p: (2560 x 1440)
2493 Width
1237 Height
hybrid/top

Machtendo - 1080p Bezels Set ( v1.0 = 175 Bezels) - LaunchBox Community Appreciation
By machjas
Machtendo - Bezels Set ( v1.0 = 175 Bezels) - LaunchBox Community Appreciation
Hello, all!
I was inspired by the work of a few users here in the community to teach myself how to use Photoshop and I wanted to create my own unique set of bezels. I taught myself just enough Photoshop to accomplish what I'd hoped to accomplish.
I made these for myself because I loved so many of the different styles and sets I'd seen on here, which varied widely - but I wanted a more uniformed set that I felt would work well with Viking's Colorful (Dark) Theme. I decided that I'd go ahead and post them here, to express my gratitude for all the hard work everyone has put in to make LaunchBox what it is.
Since I am interested to learn more Photoshop, I think I'm going to continue experimenting with these. If the community seems to like them, I'll post an update every so often. If anyone has any feedback or tips, I'm always willing to learn!
Resolution:
1920 x 1080
Usage:
I use these in RetroArch, I personally set the Configuration up by Content Directory in the ../config/[emulator] folder. In these config files, I point to the overlay file path with integer scaling turned on, with the opacity set to 1.0. I'll post a sample config later on.
Categories:
Generic or Abstract = 6
Platforms = 129
Games\Series = 10
Games\Individual = 30
Total = 175
Credit for the original artwork:
@Orionsangel - @JRPGod - @nadonate - @Kondorito - @ci2own - @harryoke
Also, super appreciative of @Jason Carr for creating and maintaining LaunchBox in the first place

RocketLauncher Transparent Fullscreen Bezel
By Retro_Rage
So, I just threw this together quick and like it so figured someone else might find it useful.
It's essentially just a simple full screen bezel with TV like frame. Basically if you try to use no bezel on full screen like roms or programs (I use it for magazines, books, videos and maybe PC games etc), You usually dont get the same experience as the rest of your roms. It may jerk around before loading and even when it loads you may have an issue with getting it full screen etc. Well this might fix that. Quite simple but just solves a minor problem that I have had. Obviously, there is no need for bezel edges with full screen apps, hence full screen bezel. You might find other reasons for it if you use Rocket Launcher too.
Like I said, I hope someone finds it useful.

They are all 1080p overlays based 4:3 displays. Use to your home console systems
INSTRUCTIONS:
Unzip to Retroarch's overlays folder

Generic Arcade 1080P Overlay
By soqueroeu
Hello everyone!
I did these overlays with available content in community and internet. I credit everyone for their respective content provided.
I mainly thank our friend Duimon from Forum Libretro for your beautiful work and inspiration.
Here a LINK to YOUR great work.
These overlays were created using the sources of this great contributor. Thanks a lot Duimon!!
They are all generic arcade 1080p overlays. Use for Mame, FinalBurn Neo, Capcom and NeoGeo systems.
Contains versions for curved screen, flat screen, horizontal and vertical variants.
I made them to use simultaneously with Retroarch + Launchbox, as it contains their logos. Obviously they can be used for Retroarch alone, of course!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Unzip the content into the Retroarch overlay folder.
SCALING SETTINGS:
Curved screen horizontal overlays:
Integer Scale: OFF
Aspect Ratio: Custom
Custom Aspect Ratio (X Position): 350
Custom Aspect Ratio (Y Position): 80
Custom Aspect Ratio (Width): 1220
Custom Aspect Ratio (Height): 920
Shader: Use one which lets you define the curvature for best result (I prefer crt-guest-dr-venom).
Curved Screen Vertical Overlay:
Integer Scale: OFF
Aspect Ratio: Custom
Custom Aspect Ratio (X Position): 608
Custom Aspect Ratio (Y Position): 72
Custom Aspect Ratio (Width): 702
Custom Aspect Ratio (Height): 934
Again, use a shader which lets you define the curvature for best result (I recommend crt-guest-dr-venom).
Flat screen Horizontal Overlay:
Integer Scale: OFF
Aspect Ratio: Custom
Custom Aspect Ratio (X Position): 316
Custom Aspect Ratio (Y Position): 54

Custom Aspect Ratio (Height): 896
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
BONUS
1080P arcade overlay (Mame and FBN versions) for vertically rotated monitors.
NOTE: To use rotated overlays, you need to configure the image rotation by Retroarch video settings and, obviously, a monitor that allows you to rotate it physically.
Curved screen vertical rotate overlay:
Integer Scale: OFF
Aspect Ratio: Custom
Custom Aspect Ratio (X Position): 230
Custom Aspect Ratio (Y Position): 80
Custom Aspect Ratio (Width): 1224
Custom Aspect Ratio (Height): 918

MAME Neo Geo CD Artwork File for use with the "bezelprojectSA-NG-CD" bezels pack
By spycat
Note before downloading:
This is for MAME only and is not compatible with RetroArch.
This custom version of the Neo Geo CD Software System artwork file, neocdz.zip contains a multi-view lay file configured to work with the "bezelprojectSA-NG-CD" bezels pack. Any game associated with the pack can be set to display it's own bezel at launch. Games for which there are no Bezel Project bezels and therefore use Default Command-Line Parameters will open with the generic SNK-Neo-Geo-CD.png bezel.
The bezel images are not included, so you will need to download the pack and drop the bezels into the artwork neocdz.zip yourself.
You will also need to set LaunchBox Custom Command-line Parameters to allow MAME to choose the correct bezel for each game. This is explained in the download.
With MAME, your Neo Geo CD game names and their bezel image names do not have to match.
Once downloaded, unzip the file MAME_NeoGeoCD_SA.zip and read the enclosed text files.
Meow!

Vertical Aspirations Console Bezels
By JaysArcade
This is the bezel set I created for use with vertically oriented monitors, and is the companion set for the Vertical Aspirations BigBox theme. The set includes the major consoles (*pre analog controls) NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, Atari 2600, etc, etc.
Each Retroarch console has two Overlay Borders. One with bezel and one without. I did this so you can use something like the HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader with the overlay if you are so inclined. I've noticed the shader is a little resource hungry so I've included the bezel versions here in case that shader slows your system down too much. If your system is fast enough. I highly recommend using the HSM shader.
I have also included in the set, per-game bezels for Vectrex that utilize the overlays that were included in the physical games as well as several per game bezels for Intellevision that include the physical overlays that were included with the games for use with the game pads. (see below) This is nice so you can see what controls do what for the game you are playing. I may create a set like this for ColecoVision in the future.
There is also a generic MAME Bezel I've included in the folder created by Chad Wedlake from his youtube channel. All the console bezels in this folder are derivative of his MAME bezels.
As with the Vertical Aspirations BigBox theme, you'll need to be running Windows in portrait mode for these to be of any use to you.
*At this point I'm not considering making bezels for newer generation consoles that use analog sticks on the controllers. This set was built with Arcade Cabinets in mind that do not typically use analog stick controls.
