The one that shows the console with power and reset buttons. I use an oled tv and dont wanna get burn in.
Also can you install the hd mod on this emulator or is only for the normal bsnes?

You really need to be more descriptive when asking for help. I assume this is using Retroarch? It's not actually stated in your question, but as you mention standalone at the end thats my guess. Retroarch never uses bezels as default, you have turned that on, simply turn it off again. As for burn in i wouldnt worry to much, those are pretty muted colours and you wont be playing these games in HDR, so they will not be very bright, also OLEDS have pretty good built in protection these days, just make sure that screen shift is on and logo dimming is on also. Its bright colours with HDR you really want to be worried about, not muted colours in SDR.

Sorry and thanks for the help, it's bsnes-mercury from retroarch, i got it custom configured from another guy so it came like that. I'll try to find out by messing with the settings but if anyone knows i would appreciate any help.

I found it, i have to disable screen overlay in retroarch but it doesnt save the setting and have to redo it every time i start a game and for every game.
Is there a way to make this setting saved globally for every game?

Turn it off globally in settings/on screen display with no game or core loaded and save the config, or turn it off in the quick menu with a game loaded and save a core override to turn it off in that core.

i tried both with no success, i found out i need to "Enable auto-load core overrides" in retroarch config but cant find it.

Thats normally on by default, its in settings/configuration. If its not showing there then go to settings/user interface and turn on the third option "Show Advanced Settings", the option will then show in the configuration screen. Remember to go to Main menu/configuration file/save current configuration when you are done.
