Atari Destroyer Bezel/Backdrop 16:9 1.0.6

This is pretty neat! I was able to replicate this (the original arcade version) in Retroarch with the images you included - I combined them in Photoshop and put the background opacity at about 40% which looks pretty good, and made a config to use it and tweak the video settings to the appropriate size:

Hey Zombeaver,

That's pretty sweet. I didn't think to include a retroarch version of this bezel as i pretty much use MAME exclusively for supported arcade machines. If you want my sourcefile for this bezel just let me know ;-)

Nah it's okay, I think it's fine as-is. If you want to include the RA version in your download, you're welcome to do so. The path in the zip is where they need to be placed in RA. The rom needs to be named "destroyr.zip" for it to load automatically, otherwise destroyr.cfg needs to be renamed accordingly.

Thanks, I'm planning to make a retroarch version of the pack once i'm done with it. The intention is to make a unified bezel pack for the Atari Classics playlist and the Atari consoles. Once i'm done with the Arcade side of the pack I'll do a retroarch version of all the bezels in it for those who don't use MAME and emulate through retroarch.

The downside is that you can't have color overlays in retroarch (can you?), and since a lot of these older Atari titles use color overlays I went with MAME primarily.

Not in the same way I suppose, but that's something I would probably just do via transparency. If you wanted a layer of color adjustment, just add an additional layer under the foreground layer, fill it with the color you want, and then set the opacity to something like 30-40%. If you had a background layer underneath it, you'd want to set the blending mode to color and put the opacity at 100%, and set the background layer to an opacity of 30-40%.

Alternately, you could use something like the color-mangler.glsl shader to adjust the colors.

My normal SNES overlay:

Adding a 30% opacity red layer to it:
Adding a 40% opacity red layer to it:

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you had in mind, but it's something you might want to try.

The main issue I had with the destroyer bezel was that either the blue overlay was too opace, drowning out the clarity of the game (i had to turn it up, which made the destroyer, which isn't under the layer, way too bright), or it ended up being too transparent, not quite having enough saturation to color the submarines.

Anyway, I appreciate the tips, I will give this another try and experiment with blending modes once I'm done with the rest of the pack.
