According this you should be able to run MK at it’s native fps/Hz of 54, so your TV should be scanning at 108 Hz.

Regarding higher than 60 FPS games, I can’t recall any game, but there are some, you should try those too. From AMD Freesync page

Low framerate compensation (LFC), allows AMD FreeSync technology to work when the framerate falls below the minimum refresh rate of the display. When the framerate drops below the minimum refresh rate of the display, frames are duplicated and displayed multiple times so that they can sync to a refresh rate that is within the displays refresh rate range. For example, a display with a 60 – 144Hz refresh rate, would be able to sync the frames of a game running at 40 FPS, by doubling them so that the display could sync and run at 80 Hz. A display with LFC effectively results in the removal of the minimum refresh rate boundary. All displays in the AMD FreeSync Premium and FreeSync Premium Pro tier are certified to meet mandatory LFC requirements.

My point is, with Retroarch and a VRR setup, you just “kill” the only reason real CRT were still needed: Native game refresh rate.

Yeah, I don’t want to derail this thread (we really need a general hardware discussion thread because so many conversations steer that way) but I don’t ever really think about native refresh rates, etc… everything plays fine (smooth) in RA without having to think about that.

[K-rnivoro]

You’re right about not derailing. I got carried away…

[K-rnivoro]

Not the best game for a vertical overlay but here it is: Darius.

[Drybonz]

That would be a tough one for vertical because they were three screens wide. It was tough to figure out how to do horizontally even.

[K-rnivoro]

Yeah, the correct aspect ratio should be 4:1 (3x4:3). You can clearly see the pilots are squeezed. Horizontally, I’d prefer to use a full screen overlay than a realistic one, for screen real state sake.

From Koko-aio thread:

[K-rnivoro]

D&D Tower of Doom, D&D Shadows over Mystara, Dark Stalkers, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, Donkey Kong 3. Including large screen when available.

That completes D letter from Vertical Arcade

I can’t figure how to make a non rectangular bezel reflection, like a trapeze for Shadow over Mystara big blue cab, or Dark Stalkers cab, for the reflection to fill the whole plastic bezel. Maybe @HyperspaceMadness can help me with those.

[K-rnivoro]

Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monster, Frogger, Two Crude (clone of Crude Buster), Gauntlet II, Gauntlet, Gain Ground, GigaWing, Hyper Sports, Heated Barrel.

Except for Food Fight and an alternate version of Frogger (which have to be reworked for HSM MB), letter F, G and H from Vertical Arcade are complete.

Thanks to @sorbeppe: Chelnov, Chopper I, Circus Charlie, Alcon and Tetris (atetris). Full bezel and large screen when available.

Joust, Journey, Inferno, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, In he Hunt, Ikari Warrios, Ikari Warrios III, Ketsui, Knights of the Round.

This completes letters A through K from Vertical Arcade

@K-rnivoro

@K-rnivoro the only thing I could think of getting it this way on any bezel is 3D tilt in Curvature. The only problem is that it uses more power to use the setting.

[K-rnivoro]

Not a bad idea but I’d like to keep the crt vertically aligned.

I was just using OrionsAngel’s VR as an example.

HSM_NON_INTEGER_SCALE_OFFSET = "99.600006"
HSM_SCREEN_POSITION_Y = "-132.000000"
HSM_CURVATURE_MODE = "3.000000"
HSM_CURVATURE_3D_TILT_ANGLE_Y = "-4.000000"
HSM_BZL_WIDTH = "240.000000"
HSM_BZL_HEIGHT = "160.000000"
HSM_BZL_OUTER_POSITION_Y = "6.000000"

Rastan is one of my favorite arcade games! Awesome work!

[stamatis87]

Is animated lighting on the overlays supported in Retroarch for games such as Afterburner, etc?

Or is it only in MAME?

[oneshout]

For the moment, with those NO cuz it use the Mega Bezel presets / shaders + overlay but you can always use same artworks from mame with the mame core of retroarch. You will need some changes in the mame.ini file in Retroarch/system/Mame/ini and some modifications in retroarch parameters…

Hope it’s clear

Liquid Kids (by @sorbeppe), Last Duel, Lunar Lander, Liberator, Legionaire and Legendary Wings.

This completes L letter from Vertical Arcade.

[K-rnivoro]

NBA Show Time, NBA Jam Tournament Edition, NBA Jam, NATO Defense, Night Driver, NARC, The Ninja Warriors, Mystic Marathon, Ms. Pac-Man, Millipede, Midnight Resistance, Marvel Vs. Capcom, Mars Matrix, MArio Bros. (two versions), Marble Madness, a better version of Ninja Baseball Bat Man, Out Zone and Operation Thunderbolt.

This completes letters M, N and O from Vertical Arcade. Also includes overlays from other contributors.

NATO Defense, Night Driver and Operation Thunderbolt could be improved by removing the included plastic bezel from the overlay file. The Ninja Warrios is a three monitor wide game. I hope it looks better in a 4K monitor.

[Drybonz]

Hey, K-rnivoro… where do you post your overlays?

[K-rnivoro]

There are not my overlays. I just make the Mega Bezel parameteres files fot them. The repository is managed by @ArsInvictus, who is one of the designers. Look for the link in previous posts of him in this thread.
