Pretty much. You may need to point Retroarch to the config and overlay directory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallpr24 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) damn, i dont think it will work, i just read on a youtube forum that each bezel has a config file associated to it in the config folder. That file has a path in there thats setup for windows path, there is a guy on youtube i found posted the bezels but he reconfigured the config files to point at the android path, here is the url and files needed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggfy_CaEkWA&lc=z230c5myzlrzuj4bp04t1aokgbyy2fhobdcuhzhgr0clrk0h00410.1578886824939057 https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive.google.com%2Fopen%3Fid%3D1RYEO2eqqzcfqWJZgHe8jAwK-HnSpL-NB&v=ggfy_CaEkWA&redir_token=mh5zBuQiOR3auSZ5wlhkEnZA-8R8MTU3OTAwNzQzNkAxNTc4OTIxMDM2&event=video_description https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2F11GFijZMpIgMLvhpn64cHiwsm3y6xe7DPfTRgoNr5ddE&v=ggfy_CaEkWA&redir_token=mh5zBuQiOR3auSZ5wlhkEnZA-8R8MTU3OTAwNzQzNkAxNTc4OTIxMDM2&event=video_description Edited January 13, 2020 by tallpr24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon57 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 You just need to use the Android export feature of my Windows app. The path is setup for android and does work for most. Have you tried that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallpr24 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 no i have not tried that. i thought this was a retroarch feature, your export utility exports the retroarch config files and changes them to work on android? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallpr24 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 there is no option to export emulator settings or configs, only the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagual2012 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) The problem, BezelProject does not recognize the phone as a drive D:, E: etc. in my win11 in 2024 the solution, 1 install retroarch on the PC, then use BezelProject to Download all the Paks of our interest (Nes, Sega, etc.) 2 we can see that all the files generated in the Config Folder, if we access an emulator for example Nestopia, it saves a .cfg with the configuration of each game and the Relative access path for the Layout ":/" , even if we change it to "../" another way to express a relative path like this ":/overlays/GameBezels/NES/Batman Returns (USA).cfg" will not work, but if we write a fixed path then the layout does appear automatically, I use this route "/storage/emulated/0/Retroarch//overlays/GameBezels/NES/Batman Returns (USA).cfg" Each phone may use a different path, you just have to look at the names of the access paths to your files in your phone's Retroarch. 3 Use a free program that AUTOMATICALLY performs the search and replace of the following string in all configuration files within your Config folder Find-> : / Replace-> /storage/emulated/0/Retroarch/ This is the Program that I used https://vovsoft.com/download/find-and-replace-multiple-files-portable/ you can use advanced add files to search the Complete Config Folder at one time 4 Copy the "config" and "Overlays" folders containing your PC retroarch to your phone the Config folder they only need to copy the folders of the emulators they use, such as Nestopia, bsnes, SwanStation 5 on your phone, go to retroarch options, folders, and make sure to indicate the path of your "config" and "overlays" folder that you just copied ready ! Now you can enjoy thousands and thousands of bezels on your tablet or phone or Android TV with the last upgrade of the project To move files to the phone, make it compressed in a single .rar file so the transfer speed will be very high If you want to add games that are not on the list, translations, hacks, etc., you just have to create a .cfg file with the name of the game, inside the config folder of the emulator you use, and inside put the path of the image you want to appear, much faster than editing each game one by one! This is my Config for my phone, a few systems like GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES, MASTERSISTEM, GENESIS , PSX, if it helps to someone https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jgu9wGukXEfwHM20nZoTfjCeGrH3Wp7M/view?usp=sharing overlays https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L6A17hCvs2DjliLGGyTBR6nI21A6KOR_/view?usp=sharing Edited February 25 by Nagual2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
