Game Boy Pocket/Light Overlay - "Subtle Dark" Series

View File

Use this overlay coupled with Retroarch's gb-light-shader.cgp and the results are amazing!

From my in progress "Subtle Dark" series. Perfect for hiding those black bars, while not making too much of a statement.

I cant get it to fit the screen my gb is to big for the space.

All retroarch overlays are composed of at least two files: the background image (ex. Back.png) and a .cfg with the same name (ex. Back.cfg)

You have to edit the .cfg to move/expand the image to the position you want on your monitor. A sample .cfg is:

overlays = 1

overlay0_overlay = Back.png

overlay0_full_screen = true

overlay0_descs = 0

overlay0_rect = "0,0,1,1"

With these settings the image will scale to cover your entire screen. The coordinates as seen in the last line of the .cfg are: top left  (0,0) to bottom right (1,1)

If your .cfg doesn't have this line, simply add it.

So by editing the last line and changing the coordinates 0,0,1,1 you can move the image around. If for example i set it to -0.5,0,1,1 part of the image will move to the left and out of the screen.

You have to experiment to get the correct values.

Yeah sorry guys, still learning the Retroarch thing, it's a bit confusing, huh? I actually ended up increasing the Overlay scale for use on my television. Thank you so much for the tip! I will try and add configs with future updates!
