Launchbox can't find any bezels for Neo Geo games?!

[vince16]

Hi everyone,

Since I believe  the previous LB update, Launchbox can now find and download and install bezels for games which have Retroarch & MAME as emulators (I know Retroarch isn't an emulator per se, but w/e), and I've been able to download a handful of those for a couple of GB and Genesis games, and I have to say it's really one of the best features that's ever been implemented in LB. It's awesome guys! But for some reason, not matter what game, it never finds any bezel for my Neo Geo games over here. 

Is it the same for everybody or is it just me?

I tried everything. Originally my Neo Geo AES games used to run with MAME like my Neo Geo MVS games (and the rest of the arcade games) and I thought Launchbox only looked for bezels if the emulator was Retroarch (I still don't get the "system bezel/Theme bezel" screen after the media download with my MAME games for some reason), so I switched to Retroarch MAME for my Neo Geo AES games, and did tick "Download bezels", but regardless of whether I choose "download & overwrite" or "download but don't overwrite" or w/e after that, it seems LB is unable to get me any bezel for my NG games. Are there only a few NG games which have bezels that LB can find? If that's the case, which ones please?

I was hoping LB would find at least one, then I could just replace its .png in "Gamebezels" (in "Overlays" in Retroarch folder) with this one right below to have it as my default bezel for all my Neo Geo AES games.

OK hum... I suppose I'll never get any reply to my question...

Here's hoping I get one about this though: how come downloading bezels (when dl bezels actually works then, that is, for all consoles but the neo geo aes...) takes so much space on the hard disk? I just downloaded a bezel for Sonic 3 on Genesis right now and couldn't tell why it was taking that long (it says something like "Downloading Bezel Project ISA" or something) and kept waiting for a while again, and to my surprise the size of my Launchbox folder has gone from 64,9GB to 66,7GB...?! Just for one bezel?!

And the bezels are found in the Retroarch folder and certainly don't weigh anywhere near 800MB.

I could do with some explanation here, because I had a couple GB more on my HDD before I started downloading (just a few) bezels in Launchbox and I'm now down to 1,52GB! Why is the size of Launchbox swelling like this please? I'm seriously running out of disk space!

hello vince16,

i have also the same prloblem. LB didn´t find any bezel for my NeoGeo. 

Your picture for neo geo is nice and will be also fine for me. Did you find a solution for that problem just yet?

 

Thanks and bye Sascha

Launchbox downloads the bezels from the the bezels project. From what I understand if you are using the mame emulator it will download the full MAME bezel set from the bezel project. Most of the games for Neo Geo MVS are included in the full MAME rom set and do have individual game bezels if the roms are MAME roms and you are using MAME. As for Retroarch, there is no indivudual Neo Geo Bezel set but I believe there is for Final Burn Neo if you are using that core.

At any rate, it is really easy to add you own bezel for any system. Just download the bezel png and cfg file into your overlay folder, open up a game from that platform, click tab and the overlays, select the cfg file. You can then hit tab again to close the menu and make sure it works, To save it just to go to config and then save for either the core or the rom location.

I can probably right that in more detail if you need but its really easy to add whatever bezel you want to Retroarch. Even if you only have the png (which you posted above), just copy the cfg from any other bezel, open with notpad and change the paths and point Retoarch to use that cfg.
