Mostly works great. I found that for my mame games, it doesn't appear to have been setup. I'm setup for Retroarch - mame-libretro in Launchbox. I checked /Retroarch/config and /Retroarch/overlays/GameBezels folders, but I couldn't find anything that looked right. Ideas?
That's exactly why I am here. I have ran the update metadata a few times and no bezels in Mame .239 > IM on a fresh install and wanted mame and majority everything else in retroarch. Did not want to go further until i figure why mame bezels are populating/installing.

Pretty sure that shader settings (which is what you are trying to set and may of made things easier to understand for other users if you had used that term in this thread title) don't get set in the main mame.ini but in a separate file, like the one provided by one of our moderators in this download,
This download contains two files, one for normal games, and one for vector games, both files are placed in the mame/inis/presets folder,
So i feel you may be confusing two separate files here, which is confusing other people trying to help you.
So basically this link it somebody else settings. Either way the modified ini are going in this path?
Mame\ini\presets folder.? -

We don't configure an INI in the install process. so It's entirely possible it wouldn't be in the folder at all. I believe once you launch a game with the command lines we've added MAME will generate an INI file though. The only INI files you really should be messing with are the ones in the MAME root folder. At this point I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to change in the ini to even begin to look at the differences to tell you if they were right or wrong. Are you trying to change some shader setting or do something more elaborate?
here’s other explanation abs ini file. Just trying to get the maximum retro performance. Their mame adjustments make me want to play every game in the romset. Any input or assistance would be greatly appreciated .

trying to make the screen curve and smooth out the pixel shaders. Mame-man & arcade Adam have somehow changed some settings to where it curves the screens added scan lines and shaders and replicates the old crts .. mame out the box the graphics are meh I found this and have been trying to alter before installing the latest bezel project.
thanks for the replies.5 hours ago, C-Beats said:We don't configure an INI in the install process. so It's entirely possible it wouldn't be in the folder at all.

If you are using the command lines we provide with the full set importer you don't need to set rom path in the INI we pass it to MAME for you. You DO need to assign the CHD path for those games though. If you're looking to manually add the path to the ini the multi path syntax is as follows "{path1};{path2}" (including quotes)
Not sure I'm completely following. I've attached the Original that's created with the importer. and then a modified mimicked ini from the one I'm trying to achieve. I put my Roms and CHDS all in one mane folder on an external Drive J:
This mame INI. is it the one that primarily in the mame folder root. or under presets ini.
ini files I found under preset: D:\LaunchBox\Emulators\MAME 0.239 (1)\ini\presets
that's the main root folder there's an ini listed there. But there's also some under presets folder.

Right. Sorry guess I should’ve mentioned that. I tried to rename the OG file. Then copy their 1080p curved modified file with no success. When I open the ini. My OG rom path . Their files is a d drive/mame/ Roms .
but I’m trying to pull off a 2 drive set up for response time SSD frontend/ emulators/ external for games. Thanks for the reply and Input

Howdy 🤠. Tried to search prior. But I’m new to this LB front end but would like to know if there’s a way to change my mame ini file? Currently on :
1. LB 12.7
2. imported mame .239 & CHDs
3. found a few mame ini’s that take advantage of a 1080p offers scan lines/ HLSL and curvature like replicating a CRT.
4. I’m running LB/BB on a 1TB Ssd strictly for front end / emulators / marquee files
5. all Games are running on a external WB 14TB black.
I found some reputable YouTubers mame man/ arcade Adam that have some files . But I can’t get it to work with my current rom/ game path.

Is there a specific theme wheel art for unified and not a generic pack of art? I saw a video on YouTube where it mentions an emumovies (I have an account) but I've searched there as well with no success.

@ChickenGeorge OK. We would either have to edit a Marquee View xaml for you or you can download the latest beta as it has marquee settings you can adjust to set the image better for that type of screen. That is if your license has not expired and you can still download updates.
Soon as I sent this I thought damn xml file. But idk where yo adjust it.
1. The beta is available where?
2. I’m trying to us “unified “theme but I have no wheel art . I looked in forum but im not following something where do I get the wheel art for the themes?
3. How involved in adjust the resolution in the xml file?
appreciate the speedy replies and direction. 👌

An image of what you are seeing would be helpful.
What type of screen are you using? Also what version are you on as there are some new features in the betas to help with marquee images (specifically good with cut marquee screens like many have started using).
I’m on 12.6 I believe the latest version
Marquee screen is :
litemax brand
model:SSD2815
1366x256 per their model specs
1050ti 4b1366x 768 resolution on dvi &
dvi input on a disport adapter to same recommended resolution per windows.

Don’t gas ⛽️ me for replying to this old thread. I’m having a problem with marquee display properly. Some of the images are showing off centered on my marquee or not at all. Any assistance or if somebody changed a xml file please assist

This is solely a launchbox plugin. you don't need led blinky for this to work. All you need is the joy2tray.exe installed somewhere and then the path to it configured in the conf file. once all of that is installed in launchbox it should work. Maybe i should create a full tutorial on installing joy2tray, and where to put the plugin and conf file.
Any tutorials would be epic & greatly appreciated. After so many failed attempts with HS I sought up LB after I saw they have Servo stick and dynamic marquees & led blinky available with some actual support. Any assistance would be great. Thanks in advance

Is this working? I’m new to LB.
1. Do you turn this on in led blinky? The Servo stick capability or do I have to incorporate rocket launcher into my build somehow?2. And then install joy2tray.exe
3. Run your script file?
again I’m an extreme noob to LB/BB but messed around with HS and got tired of messing around with HS 😉

That's exactly why I am here. I have ran the update metadata a few times and no bezels in Mame .239 > IM on a fresh install and wanted mame and majority everything else in retroarch. Did not want to go further until i figure why mame bezels are populating/installing.
Update looks like the issue might be with the emumovies sign in plugin. As mentioned fresh install so its grabbing artwork. box, marquee etc. I'm guessing bezel are not a top priority. Keep running the download metadata. But each time or ever other time I have to sign into emumovies repeatedly each attempt. I was on 12.2 or something prior to update and didnt have to sign in emu movies but once.
Update: It shows the bezels are downloaded but when iI Launch MAME games run no bezels.
