Sorry, been away for a couple days. I will check with this. It is a stock/default installation (modular, not .msi) for everything. I have not changed a single option/name. The only thing "custom" I guess I would say is that I have it installed in d: instead of c ??

We could even do a zoom and I can share my desktop. ? assuming out time zones lined up.

Hello Dragon57. Thank you for the reply. I like your Cray logo. Do you know that years ago HP bought Convex machines (and eventually the company I believe) and sold them as V class HPUX servers. The Convex was similar to the Cray machines. Anyway, fun history in IT. I am running RA 1.8.4. The exe is in d:\console\launchbox\emulators\retroarch. In the Bezel Project .ini, here is the RA setting. RAHomeDir=D:\Console\LaunchBox\Emulators\RetroArch. All of the cfg/png files are in d:\console\launchbox\emulators\retroarch\overlays\gamebezels\<console>\<game name>.cfg or .png. They match the ROM name as I used the no-intro ROMs for all my console games. The games run fine, just no bezels. The screen is a BENQ 16:9, but the consoles show up in 4:3 as I believe they should. Again, the MAME installer worked 100% perfect the first time. Not sure what is going on with the Console bezels. it should be simple.

Guys, I know this has been discussed and I am beating my head against the wall. I have what I will call a dual modular build. I have a folder, d:\MAME, with all associated ROMS/Bezel/LaunchBox. Then I have another folder d:\CONSOLE. In here is another Launchbox /Bezels/RetroArch/cores/ROMS/etc. I keep it modular and separate. I downloaded the Bezel Project and ran it for MAME. Right out of the box works perfectly. Did the same for my Console directory, which has NES/SNES/N64/Sega. All the files (.cfg and .png) appear to be going to the right place. I use the no-intro ROM's for everything. I can't for the live of me figure out why the bezels are not showing up. The games work (well, those that do work properly). I have watched countless videos on how to setup the overlays i RetroArch but nothing is working. Any help is appreciated.

It is a 16:9 monitor. Oddly enough, after 2 months of trying to figure it out, I finally figured it out right after I made this post. I truly search and try everything before reaching out. I read somewhere about mame and refresh sync issues. I saw someone mention triple filtering (or something like that). I ran the mame64.exe outside Bigbox to get into the actual guts of mame and found the triple option in the video settings. I enabled it, which solved my issue. Now, I don't know if that will cause other issues, but on a few games i tested, nothing seemed abnormal.

Good day very smart people. I have built a new arcade, running BigBox, Mame. All is working just fine. I implemented the Bezel Project files based on the standard installation and it works fine. However, for some reason I cannot figure out yet, the bezels show up properly for each game, but I have a horizontal "bar" that scrolls up in the bezel, both sides. I can turn off the Bezel and I don't see the bar. The bar is "transparent" not a full black bar. it is about an inch tall, inch and a half tall. The best way to describe is way back in the old days when you would see a monitor on a TV show/movie, you could see the refresh, same kind of bars scrolling up on the screen. it is not on my game, just on the side bezels. It is an HP PC about 3 years old, I think Intel 4600. it is a brand new BENQ 27" monitor. All is working 100% except these bars scrolling up in the bezel. Driving me crazy. FYI, i have read every thread in this topic and google searched for hours, can't find anything. I have also posted in some other boards here. nothing yet.
