Add borders/bezels and shader effects to almost any game

Hello!

Don't know if this has been mentioned here yet but i found a cool piece of software that allows resizing, borders/bezels, and shader effects to almost any game. I use it on quite a few of my games. The app is called ArcCabView. Here's a description from the creator: 

ArcCabView is a ReShade's shader made by Ducon2016 and Aubrel to display your game (nearly all your games) just as you want.

It's still mainly designed to display arcade oriented games in cabinets and that's why its now named like that. In some case a launcher can be provided too in order to be more friendly to use.

Using this shader you will have full control of your game display. The functions will be explain bellow, but quickly you can :

Rotate the game display in any Orientation without having to change your screen orientation.

Manage completely the game Ratio when ingame and when not ingame.

Resize, Move de display when ingame, when not ingame and also just the internal and external part of a defined area.

Crop some parts or a ratio defined area of the game and choose to display them or not.

Curve the full display or just a defined part of the game

Add a CRT effect with Bloom, different dot aspects, vertical or horizontal scanlines,...

Add a Frame with Screen Reflection around the full display or just around the defined area.

Add a Bezel over or under the full display and manage its size. It can follow the game settings or not.
Add a Background image or display a game blur mirror and change the Background Color and Brightness.

Add an Overlay image over the defined game area.

Add conditions to test in order to get yours effects and arts only when you want and where you want in the game.

More than that, for Pinball games you can also :

Add a Backglass image with or without Grill and catch a part of the game to show in it.

Move and resize the DMD display where you want (and change its color)

Resize and move the table and change its perspective.

Manage the brightness ingame of these different parts.
