Bezel Project with different Retro Arch Cores

[djsim101]

Hi All, 

I hope you can help me out. Is there anyway to get the bezels working with all retroarch mame cores?

In my setup, the bezels are working for the default core, however I have certain roms that require a different core. For these games, the bezels dont appear. 

Is there way I can make bezels work for all my mame cores?

Thanks as always folks, any help would be great.

If you have to use different cores for different roms then you have a bad romset, or just a incompatible one, A MAME romset has a version number with it, and you must use the same version of the core that matches that version. I also would not advise using Retroarch for MAME at all, it's the worst option available.

Thanks Neil9000, kinda knew that might be the answer alright. Probably best way might be to get a good romset with the same versions. 

 

Can i ask, what do u use for your arcade emulation needs, the standalone mame? 

Thanks,

Yeah i use standalone, simply cause the Retroarch cores are troublesome with some aspects as the MAME Ui and the Retroarch fight with each other as they are both present, controls especially can be a huge pain, do you set them up in Retroarch or the MAME core's tab menu, which takes priority? if like me back/select is your Retroarch hotkey then forget about being able to use that button to insert coins, as Retroarch overrides MAME in that case which means that button is unusable in MAME, it's just a pain and a mess and there is a reason the MAME devs themselves hate the Retroarch cores so much.

Again though you should only need one emulator for MAME, just get the current version which is 0.245 and the matching emulator version, Launchbox will set it all up and it will just work. The bezel project does also have standalone MAME bezels too.
