davidgrohl Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Hi all, I'm having troubles to activate bezels in retroarch. I added Sega Genesis to my configuration. LB recognised roms and downloaded all images, metadata and Bezels. I launched a game, pressed F1 to enter Retroarch menu, went to on screen overlay menù and enabled display overlay. The problem is that I cannot see any bezel. If I go to overlay preset menu and select the bezel file for that game, i see it correctly. The problem in this case is that when I launch a game that dosen't have a bezel I continue to see the first bezel i setted up besides to se the generic megadrive bezel. How can I solve?

Headrush69 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Are you sure you saved the game bezel as a game preset and not as a per-core or a per-directory overlay preset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look in your Retroarch -> config -> corename folder you will see overrides you have saved. (.cfg files) One named the exact same as the core name applies to all games run by that core, a game specific named overrides that and applies to a specific game. Any other named ones are directory overrides that match a folder. The order they are applied is core -> directory -> core If you look at the files, right near the top, likely the first line is the overlay file it is set to use. The easier method is just pick your overlays in Retroarch, bring up the Quick menu, go to Overrides and make sure to pick the correct override you want. It will replace any previous saved version and correct any mistakes you made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidgrohl Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 I checked. It seems all ok. The weired thing is that if I launch Retroarch without LB bezels arre loaded. When I launch games from LB bezels are not laded. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Are you 100% sure you are checking the right location of Retroarch? Did you install Retroarch using LB's bult in installer or from a manual install of Retroarch? Do you have both installed by chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I uninstall and reinstall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidgrohl Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 No way to have bezels working on Retroarch in LB. I reinstalled Retroarch from LB. Downloaded again all bezels. If I run games from Retroarch bezels works perfectly. If I run games from LB Bezels doesn't show. Any other suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a confusing option for many as you would naturally think you are passing a zip file to Retroarch, it needs to be unzipped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks alot , turns out the problem was , the , individual per game .cfg files, in the ''config'' retroarch's folder , once i deleted them i was able to reconfigure per core with the acording platform bezzels themes <3 Now il will try my neo geo MVS and AES , witch seems like the hardest one to do (at least for me , im so bad at these things ) Thanks for your help and the very quick reply <3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
