Thank you, that fixed it. Didn't even think to look there

I want launchbox to launch retroarch windowed. Retroarch is setup for windowed and when I open it by itself it is in windowed mode, but when I launch a game through launchbox it goes straight to fullscreen. I have checked the emulator command line parameters and there is nothing telling it to go to fullscreen. I have even tried adding -windowed and -sw and neither one worked. I wouldn't really care, but my monitor seems to have issues with emulators and fullscreen mode. Every so often the monitor will just go black for 5 - 10 seconds like its resetting or something, and also when closing out of a game for whatever reason everything is dimmed in windows and I have to restart to make it look normal again. None of this happens when I just use retroarch in windowed mode. Any help would be appreciated. I am running Windows 11 btw if that makes any difference.

I don't remember where I found this theme for Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! but i like this remix verison of the song. Does anyone know where the full song could be located?

thanks for the help, I figured out the other part. for that particular gameboy advance bezel i just had to set the ratio to 3:2 and scale to 8x

I am trying to setup some overlays in RetroArch and I am having 2 problems. I cant figure out how to save it on a per system basis. The only place I can find to pick an overlay is Onscreen Display - Onscreen Overlay but that changes it for everything regardless of what core you have loaded. I wanted to have a different Overlay for each system. The second problem is I cant figure out how to change the size of the game image to fit certain bezels. I am going to use these for what is available: and these are fine because I can just set the appropriate aspect ratio and it fills it correctly, but for other ones like this GBA one I cant figure out how to get it to fit inside the bezel:

This is what I came up with using the 2xbr-hybrid-crt-hyllian preset and ReShade for bloom. I dont think I have the bloom settings perfect yet, but its getting there. Also I dont think i'd use bloom on every game, but it looks nice in Super Metroid

I looked at both, i think i will stick with the 2xbr-hybrid-crt-hyllian I kind of am going for a look similar to what this person has but without the fishbowl / curved crt effect and the bloom a little more toned down / subtle:

Thanks for pointing these 2 out, so far these give the closest to the look that I prefer - some smoothing and scanline but not overdone on either. I wish there was something similiar that used scalefx or xbr accuracy as i think those do a better job of smoothing. when I try to make it myself it never turns out looking how I was hoping. I will probably stick with "2xbr-hybrid-crt-hyllian" for now. do you know what the difference between the hybrid and non-hybrid version is? to my eyes they look the same

Is there a guide on setting up RL with LaunchBox? I might give it a try if its not to complicated

that is the reason I got that one, but I dont really want to add RL into the mix. Is there a way to set a default generic bezel that has the most common screen sizes in it? I tried another pack that works but it favors the bezel over the game screen size and I cant stand having huge bezels on all 4 sides of the actual game, so I'd rather just have a default generic one that is optimized for the game screen

darn, I guess I must have got the wrong pack

I got the full pack from emumovies, the only instructions are to move all the zip files to the artwork directory within the mame folder, so that is what I did and they are not showing up. All of the artwork options are enabled in Mame, but i do not see any of the bezels under video options when I push Tab in-game. I doubled checked that the zip file matches the rom file on a few of them and made sure i was running the parent rom with matching name I tried extracting a few of them to a folder of the same rom name, still no luck I tried manually setting the artwork directory in Mame to make sure its looking in the right place I am running MAME 0.183, I normally launch games from LaunchBox but I tried launching directly from Mame as well, but nothing seems to be working Any help would be appreciated

Thanks, that got it working the way I was trying. Now every game I have in the SNK NEO-GEO, CPS I, II, III and Cave playlists open with Retroarch using the FBA core and every other arcade game opens with MAME

Yes, I did ctrl+A to highlight all the games in the playlist and used the bulk edit wizard to change the emulator. I do not mind that it changes the emulator across all of LB, that is what I want it to do. The problem is that the games will not load period now. I used the bulk edit wizard to change the emulator, added the associated platform for retroarch and the first game i tried which was a Neo Geo MVS game loaded fine with retroarch, I went to do the same exact steps for CPS and now neither CPS or Neo Geo MVS games will load, which makes no sense to me because the Neo Geo game loaded fine on first try.
