    Retro arch, overlays on overlays

    in Noobs

    Typo

    Hi great people again!! 

    I've gotten just about everything working with launchbox and retroarch. Have different overlays (for bezels) for different platforms looking great thanks to this community. 

     

    The last part is getting the scan lines based on platform and running into a snag with shaders due to shitty gpu. However there seem to be some decent overlays that can add the cry scan lines.. Problem is I cannot add overlay on overlay. 

     

    Am I stuck trying to find and overlay that has both a bezel and scan lines or using a Shader that gives nice scan lines without killing performance? (haven't found one in retroarch yet, each time I try it takes me 5mins just to go back and turn it off due to latency) 

     

    Thanks as always!! 

    ummmm... missing 'quick menu' in retroarch

    I'm going bonkers!! I just don't seem to have 'quick menu' ANYWHERE in retro arch. I can see hotkeys to bind with a controller, but that's it.

    I also checked retroarch.cfg and it's all set to true... 

     

    What am I missing here? 

    I tried to look online though everything points to accessing quick menu while in a game, again binding controller hotkeys. 

     

    It's driving me nuts!

    Thanks,

    David

    Do MAME sets include most other systems ?

    Ahhh that makes a whole lot more sense!  Thanking you soooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazed at the speed of response!
    Will continue my hunt to find a Neo Geo Emulator and ROM set that works for me in Launchbox. 

    Most ROM sets say Neo Geo.. though they seem to include Neo Geo Poket, AES, CD .. :(

    Thanks for the prompt responses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    hmmm... hard to say . I see some mario games but no zelda. Either way there are 14k worth of roms which is crazy big!

    I can use different emulators sure.. as I have those anyone (minus a good neo geo). So I guess Ihave a ROM set not a Software List. 
     

    I did import using Launchbox Full Arcade Set.. though after the import I noticed a bunch of missing images (not a huge amount, but enough to notice) and only 7k games were actually imported.

    So wondering if I need to run another import against that 14k set, though this time choosing a different system, e.g. NES/SNES/MegaDrive etc.. 

    Is it fair to assume that  there could really be 14k worth of MAME roms that are purely arcade? Something just doesn't add up.

     

    Thanks again

    OK so this may be a really really dumb question!!!

    I've been setting up my first arcade and got rom sets for 

    MAME .229 Merged
    NES
    SNES
    Mega Drive
    Master System
    GBA
    Neo Geo

    Though I've been having trouble with Neo Geo.. and when considering giving up.. I was checking my mame set and noticed most (if not all) games were already in the MAME set.. then I started checking some SNES games and same deal. 
    Do Mame sets usually include the above systems? Or is it just that the games I'm checking were released across multiple systems.. 

    Sorry for the really really dumb question! 
    Just trying to decide how much more time I need to spend on Neo Geo emulators..if at all.

     

    Thanks!!!!
