I voted for bezel feature to be added, but noticed its only down as a minor request. Do these minor requests ever get a look in @Jason Carr ?

I really want bezel support but i dont want to go about setting rocketlauncher up with all the pain it brings if we will be getting this feature anytime soon.

Thank you

Depending on how many votes it gets it may or may not get looked at soon. I pay more attention to the votes than the "major" or "minor" setting.

MAME and Retroarch by default have bezel support which is more or less 70% of my systems. 

As much as I like the idea of having bezel support for my remaining emulators, it's not a priority imo.

I agree to an extent but in terms of appearance 'I' put it up their as priority.

I know that not everyone uses bezels so that could be why it doesnt get the votes

Yes, but unfortunately Retroarch has major trouble recognizing several controllers.  For I have not had a version yet that could let me re-map any of my 5+ controllers except the very first xbox360 controller, and on occasion the 2nd xbox360 controller.  It seems like a weird bug, because everything showed up on the status messages that flicker upon startup, but no matter what input driver, nothing else worked.  Whereas Launchbox can see every controller I have plugged in, and lets me navigate Bigbox with ease, no matter which controller I pick up! :D

I'd definitely upvote for figuring out how to get Rocketlauncher Bezels built into LB/BB.  That would bring it only a few steps away from being the final solution for a front end experience imo.

I have multiple controllers hooked up and different controllers setup for different cores working no problem with version 1.3.6 stable release. I use an XBox 360 controller for analog controller games and a Hori pad for non analog. For each core load up and go to the input settings and select the controller you want for that core and then save the per core config with that controller.

Yeah I tried all of that.  I have two SNES controllers into the mayflash adapter, two playstation controllers into the usb adapter, and two xbox360 controllers.  I literally spent hours on it, and finally gave up and just went back to mednafen for most of what I was trying to emulate anyways.  Now it has Saturn emulation too.  The only thing I kept retroarch for is the handhelds since they are always one player, and I had some really nice overlays all setup for those.

Well that's good news.  Hopefully someday it will just be sort of plug 'n play in terms of seeing through the adapters one might be using for their controllers.  If LB every does get built-in bezel support, please oh please make it compatible with all of the Rocketlauncher bezels that have been made over the years, there are so many great sets.  The arcade games alone have over a thousand bezels.

Hi All,

Here are a couple of bezel & marquee setups I've put together (using existing artwork) for when I switch my monitor to vertical. I did look online to see if anyone had created anything similar (displaying game and marquee on one screen) but all I could find was stuff for your standard horizontal setup. If anyone knows of anything similar please let me know - it might save me some time :-).

Steve.
