[Bezel Project! A custom bezel for every ROM!]

Sort of like how the emumovies ftp is set up.  Just download folders full of the images i suppose.  I was just curious to see what all the different game-specific bezels looked like real quick.  Like NES.  I use rocketlauncher, but nothing ever downloaded for me using the install.  So i figured there might just be folders somewhere to manually download.

Like I said earlier, the Github repos are configured for Retropi/Linux, so if you want to install on Windows, you should use Launchbox or our Windows app. The Windows app supports Retroarch, native MAME, RocketLauncher, Android, etc.

Each repository should have a sample bezel showing what those for each platform looks like. Example: https://github.com/thebezelproject/bezelproject-NES

Yeah, that's fine.  I really couldn't find anything of use in there anyways.  I was hoping for a central location to just d/l an entire set of game-specific bezels all at once. 

Give me a specific example. We are always open to new ideas for the project.

found a few that way,...but not many game-specific ones.  Searched repositories.  It was kind of cumbersome.  Oh well.

The repositories on Github are not meant to be used in that way, although you are free to search all you want. The repositories that are there are meant to deliver a set of bezels for a platform that are a snapshot in time using the database files made available by no-intro and redump. None of the repos are what I would call complete because more and more titles are added/renamed all the time, but the repos are a good starting place. You may also have to rename the ...\config\<core name>\*.cfg files to match your roms, or vise-versa. In summary, there are 50,377 bezels of the themed type and 85,542 of the system art type currently on Github created by the Project.

is there a place where we can just download all the rom bezels on their own?

Don't forget the Github files are configured for use on Retropi/Linux, so the cfg files can't be used as is.

All, a themed bezel pack for Amstrad CPC has just been released.

Couldnt it simply be retroarch.cfg related, your hitting that to set bezel paths right?

The bezel exe app gets the paths from its preferences file. It doesn't hit the main retroarch.cfg repeatedly as it doers its work, if that is what you are asking.

[Very Slow Media Downloader]

It obviously has a bad sector(s) that only gets hit when trying to copy over a large amount of data. Existing programs/data will probably read without issue. A drive of that age should be replaced. Sad, but true. I have an entire set of 8 4TB drives that are due for replacement in the next year.

Sorry to say, that points to the spinning disk as the issue. How old is it?

[Very Slow Media Downloader]

As a way of diagnosing and eliminating, I would recommend installing a temporary version of Retroarch on the ssd, change preferences in the Bezel Project.exe app to point to the new Retroarch, then try installing the same bezel pack. See if it completes or hangs at the same place.

[Very Slow Media Downloader]

Do you know how to check the Windows event logs for disk errors? If so, do that and report. I would doubt issues with the ssd, but any spinning disk can fail or have bad areas on a disk at any time.

[Very Slow Media Downloader]

What type of drive is %temp% locate on as well as the target, physical disk and/or ssd?

[Very Slow Media Downloader]

Is this using the Bezel Project.exe app? If you are at the moving bezel point in the process, that shows there is no issue with downloading or with Github. Moving the directories should be very quick. No delay like you are seeing should ever happen. I assume you have plenty of spare space in %temp% and the destination directories?

[Very Slow Media Downloader]

Nothing known as far as I know. I just performed numerous tests using the Project's Windows app to install bezel packs and had no time related issues at all.

Which geographical region are you in? Do you get any errors from the Windows app at all? What is your download speed from your ISP?

[Bezel Project! A custom bezel for every ROM!]

The native repos on Github are for Retropie, but Launchbox has native support for importing into Retroarch on Windows. The project also has a native Windows installer/converter if you want to install outside of Launchbox.

Hi. I want to update this post.
So maybe things changed this year, but i got bezels files in RetroArch\overlays\GameBezels\PS2

Still, i got nothing inside RetroArch\config\pcsx2 (alpha)
(where there is usually config files that point to the right bezel to use)

Is that normal ?

The PS2 bezels currently only have the directory names of PCSX2 and Play! in the config directory. If you are using a different core with another name, just rename one of the existing ones and you should see bezels after that.

[Remove old Bezel Pack]

If you installed old bezels for MAME, also remove ...\overlays\ArcadeBezels

[Bezel Project! A custom bezel for every ROM!]

Yes, the Pure core is a work in progress, but so far there hasn't been a DOS game I haven't been able to get running via the core options. I will say there is a script on Github which converts the exodos format files to a more normal format that works with the core. I don't have a link, but if you are interested in it, you should be able to find it if you search around. There may even be a post here on the forum about it. I'm not sure.

I use eXoDOS V5. How can I add those bezels? If I'm not mistaken, eXoDOS doesn't use Retroarch but standalone versions os Dosbox.

Retroarch has a core called Dosbox pure. If you use that you should be good.

I´ve reached NEC Supergrafx. The mask files won´t fit those, would you be so kind and add a third mask file for Supergrafx-bezels?

I have updated the 7z file per your request.

[m3u files for dos game]

DoxBox Pure under RetroArch supports m3u files for cd images.

[What are "SA" Bezel Packs?]

SA stands for System Art styled graphics. Each repository has a sample embedded in the readme on GitHub.

[Fighting Games Move Lists in Bezels???]

You can find a number of MAME bezels on the EmuMovies ftp site under the following directory: /Official/Bezels/MAME Standard Bezel Pack (MAME)

[Bezels]

Your rom/game names MUST match the cfg files installed under ...\retroarch\config\<core name> exactly. For cartridge based system, we use the no-intro database naming standard. For disc based games, we use the redump database standard.

[Bezel Project! A custom bezel for every ROM!]

Announcement

The 'Themed' bezel set for PC (MS-DOS) has been released for the Windows platform (7200 bezels). The naming standard is per the eXoDOS V5 listing. If you are using the Project's Windows app to install, make sure to refresh/update your system listing. An updated listing has been pushed to support LaunchBox as well.
