Didn't realize the Bezel feature is a bit on Beta side, how do I remove it?

[SeerOfChaos]

I assumed it would be a automatic thing and not cover over wide screen games with the default options .  I assumed wrong.  How do I go about removing just System Bezels or game specific Bezels?

[SeerOfChaos]

DO I have to just delete all the games and reinstall them?  I've gone through a LOT of options and not seeing where they are stored or how, or how to remove them.

Basically the Bezels are covering any/all wide screen games.

What emulator are you seeing this in? MAME bezels are in \\mame\artwork\ and RetroArch stores them in \\retroarch\overlays\GameBezels (the corresponding config files are in \\retroarch\config)

[SeerOfChaos]

I only tested it out with some RetroArch games!  ANyways Thank you so much!  Going there now to delete!

Edit 1

Thanks it worked!  Just deleted entire folder and it's good now!  Gonna reinstall them just making sure it's ONLY Game Bezels and No "universal" System Bezel.  Again thank you so much 

Edit 2

Ya basically you can't install "system bezels" for systems with wide screen games, or it will overlay over them.

Well yeah, bezels are for 4:3 games not widescreen ones thats the whole point.

I should of been more specific.  Following the instructions gave by the update made it place the bezels over ALL wide screen consoles on Retroarch.  It would of been nice if there was a warning that doing recommended default would do this. 

 

I don't quite understand why some type of code wasn't just put in to make it avoid doing this to systems like psp/ps2/wii etc.  As you said why would they need it.

 

Why I said it felt a bit beta.  Anyways, I simply just deleted them all and installed only the theme bezels.  Will add system bezels manually to every single console later maybe...  Because it would definitely take forever with all the systems I have.

Sounds like maybe its applying a default for any system/core associated with retroarch maybe, maybe that should be another checkbox in the associated platform page, if a default bezel is required @C-Beats?. And about it seeming beta, well we do put out a lot of betas, but unfortunately few users use them, and fewer still ever bother to report issues. So unless its something obvious to everyone, its often not until a full release with tens of thousands of people banging at it that issues can arise, with a staff of three, more people testing betas would be hugely helpful.

[C-Beats]

We don't save any global configurations. We do save a core override if one doesn't exist that points to fallback bezel for that system. Just turn off the bezel in the core override and it should correct what you're seeing. Or remove that configuration all together.

[PHAS]

More or less the same topic: how do I switch between game bezels and system bezel or vice versa?

[C-Beats]

Just run the download metadata/media wizard and pick the one you want and then tell it to overwrite existing.

I tried to use them on PSP but it was impossible to use.

Maybe there is some sort of parameter to insert. I have tried a little but it is not so easy. For 4:3 games it works great and I like it very much
