+1 need to know how to add these to retroarch

Hi. This is how I did it. I use the Sega Master System bezel as an example.

Put the SegaMasterSystem.png in the overlays\borders\ folder in Retroarch.

Create a cfg file (SegaMasterSystem.cfg) in the same folder:

overlays = 1

overlay0_overlay = SegaMasterSystem.png

overlay0_full_screen = true

overlay0_descs = 0

I don't know exactly how the cfg file work, I just reused another cfg file from the folder.

Now you can load the SegaMasterSystem.cfg in Retroarch (Onscreen Overlay -> Overlay Preset)

Do you have to load the overlay every time you open RetroArch? Doesn't seem to save this by default thus requiring me to tell it what overlay to use.

You only have to set it once. "Autoload Preferred Overlay" will autoload it.

Would these work with rocketlauncher as well?

How do you add Bezels

These are for Retroarch.

Thanks

Well technically you can use them anywhere, but you will need to create the config files for where ever you use them to display them. Essentially these are just images, a emulator will need to know how to show said image via a file.

Depends on the emulator that you are using them with.

I'm using Retroarch

OK this is how for retroarch, see attached file, download it rename the actual file to what you want so that you recognize it in the UI. Open the file with notepad, or even better notepad++ and change the part with the .png name to whatever the image is that you want to show, obviously the image needs to be in the same folder as the .cfg.

I did and the Bezels are not showing and when ever i go into full screen Retroarch crashes

If this is a retroarch issue or simple Launchbox issue please make a new thread. if its a simple bezel issue, then please also make another thread, tag me in either if you want, but lets not clutter this file comment section with issues that are not related to this file.

great pack only overlays that need to be made are the playstation one wii and gamecube and maybe switch

 

These are great thank you but 114 Bezels and no PlayStation??

After waiting, checks wow over 2 years. I decided to create a Sony PlayStation bezel in the same style.
