Hi all. I’m more than happy to find this awesome Overlays!!! I was in the process of building an horizontal cabinet, but now I see these, I’m having second thoughts about it. Thing is, Mega Bezel Reflection shader from HyperSpaceMadness are not implemented AFAIK, at least not fully. Are there any plans to implement it? That would be glorious!!!

While that is true for these and any other overlay, they are a single image. Setting them up as a background layer in the Mega bezel is fairly easy, almost automatic if you use the correct setup.
There is a Magic Sword example in the Mega Bezel examples package.
This is truly something you could do for yourself.

Nice to run into a fellow Star Wars fan. I’m an OG fan. I saw the original Star Wars in theaters. What did you think of Ahsoka? I loved it!
Yeah same here! Saw ROTJ when I was prob 4. But really got into SW when I turned 13. Ahsoka was great! I didn’t watch any Rebels episodes though. So i was a little in the dark. But i knew enough from rebels through friends that had watched it as to not feel disconnected. Looking forward to the next Andor season.

Thanks Duimon. It can be a little overwhelming due to my lack of experience with retroarch and overlays. If you could give me some hints, I’ll be more than happy to share my “achievements” with the community. For example: A lot of vertical overlays already have a bezel or “frame” for the CRT. On the other hand, AFAIK, Reflection bezels need their own “frame” for the reflection, so I’m not sure how to make it automatic, like you said. Any tips will be much appreciated Duimon!!!
Hi K-mivoro
I would say in situations like you describe above. There isn’t really an automatic way to force the megabezel “reflections bezel” to overlay over an existing vertical overlay that has the original arcade bezel. If there is a way, I am unaware of it. What I do, and others have done is edit out the original arcade bezel using any photo editing application. From what I can tell, sorbeppe in the recent posts above is doing that exact thing. No doubt, it can be time consuming with some of this stuff. But the majority of vertical overlays shouldn’t require these types of edits.

I hate to take up space on this thread, but if you eliminate the “Frame” in the Mega Bezel, and use the overlay image for both the BackgroundImage and ScreenPlacementImage, all that should be needed is some adjusting of the bezel height and width.
The shader will use the transparency in the overlay image to set the screen scale and position.
That being said, the more time you spend tweaking the parameters, the better your result will be.

Shameless promotion here folks…
I just started a new youtube channel! @ArsInvictus, @Thoggo, @walter.farmacia have all been kind enough to all me to showcase their overlays via video shorts. I will be cataloging and archiving all overlays there. My overlay work will be there too!
Come stop by, subscribe and check out the playlist where you can play all or shuffle on the video shorts. Each game will run through attract mode using these beautiful overlays!
New overlays will be added daily!
And a GIFT for you all!

It is estimated that between 1000 and 5000 of this variation were made. Used in stores to promote upcoming SNES games. If you grew up in the 90’s. You likely saw one at a Toys R’ Us, or in a shopping mall.
