Can you double check and make sure that these settings are setup like this and that you saved your configuration?
Also, how does it look when you try one of my newer Console Specific Presets or my Composite Pure, Composite Sharp or Arcade Sharp presets (in the 1080p_Optimized folder of course)?
Checked. All good.
I will check rn. Got a good suggestion for filter to pair with these?
The suggestions are built right into the filenames. If you see âFor Core Blarggâ in the filenames then you should pair that preset with the Blargg S-Video, RGB preset (or Composite if you donât mind the excessive artifacts) thatâs built into the Core Options of the NES or Genesis Core youâre using.
If you see âFor CyberLab Blarggâ, then you can do the same but using my Custom Blargg NTSC Video Filter Presets that you installed in the Video Filters Folder.
The screen shouldnât be so small though, Iâll have to double check and see if itâs something that I can reproduce. One thing that might help that is going into Shader Parameters and changing Integer Scale Mode to 1 if itâs on 2.
If itâs already on 1, you can try increasing the Integer Scale Offset.
Then you just Save and Save Core Preset.
If that doesnât work you can try Integer Scale Mode 0.
One more thing. Be sure youâre using Mega Bezel V1.6.3_2022-11-23 if youâre using the latest version of my Shader Preset Pack.
This is my last list of recommendations. A bit outdated but still relevant to a certain extent.
Dreamcast - CyberLab Slot Mask, CyberLab Computer Monitor Smooth
Hey guys. Wondering if someone could help.
Installed as per instructions but no matter which Bezel I try, the colors are way off (almost a green tint to everything). Is there a setting I have missed or have I done something wrong?
Screenshot attached of white background to show you how bad it is.
Which particular preset from which folder are you seeing this with? What resolution are you running?
Itâs very possible that you might have missed the part where you have to toggle the Mask Layout in the shader parameters and choose the setting that looks best on your screen 0 or 1 then save a Core or Game Preset.
Itâs also possible that youâre trying to use a preset that uses Mask 12 or Mask 6 size 1 with a display that either doesnât support RGB 4:4:4 Colour Format or it isnât enabled on your display or graphics driver properties.
Also, if you share your display make and model, that might help as well.
Below is my last list of recommendations, a bit outdated but still relevant to a certain extent.

Iâm now really wondering what could be causing that green time because if it were any of the issues listed above, it shouldnât show up in a GPU screenshot.
Are you using the latest RetroArch and is your HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader version matching my CyberLab Mega Bezel Death To Pixels Shader Preset version?
Greetings again @MIKEBLK,
Seeing that youâre using my 1080p_Optimized presets and somewhere along the line there might have been somethings that might have went wrong and need addressing. Feel free to try CyberLab Mega Bezel Death To Pixels Shader Preset Pack V1.5.0_17-11-22 along with HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader V1.5.0 or even CyberLab Mega Bezel Death To Pixels Shader Preset Pack V1.4.2_09-10-22 along with HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader V1.4.2.
Be sure to delete or backup the old folders first. Donât overwrite when switching versions like this.
V1.4.2 and I think V1.5.0 were the last ones I tested on a native 1080p display.
Donât think that they are outdated and of any lower quality than the newer stuff.
You can try those and let me know if youâre having the same issues.
Many times I update just to keep things looking the same due to changes in the underlying Shader.
Due to requests, I had included many more presets in my 1080p Optimized Folder trying to bring them more in line with my 4K_Optimized folder which is what I primarily use.
The issue seemed to be tht I was using BSNES_HD. When I switched to BSNES it seemed to have corrected the issue. I didnât have a lot of time last night to play with it but Iâll mess with it later today and report back. For now, disregard my final post as a non issue.
Thanks very much for testing and reporting back.
I would say itâs very relevant as it provides a heads up for other BSNES_HD users. Anything that messes with the aspect ratio or scale can interfere with HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader because it handles all of these things internally. If you want to give that control back to external sources, you can switch the Aspect Ratio Setting in Shader Parameters to Full.
So you can try that and see if your BSNES_HD works better. You can even set a discrete aspect ratio there or leave Mega Bezel Reflection Shader on Full and use the RetroArch Aspect Ratio and Scaling Settings as you might have done before setting up HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader.
Hey Cyber,
While my post was being authorized, I managed to find the following, which is my exact issue:
So, as mentioned by Yogurtcito, the color is fine if I use any mask type apart from the default 6. And also, as experienced by him, changing mask layout from 1 to 0 produces a blue tint.
Output to my monitor is RGB 4:4:4
This happens with all the presets. I used Notepad++ to change default mask type to 5 to all the presets and tested. It is fine this way.
Regarding your question about version, I am on the latest Retroarch and all the packs were downloaded and installed just yesterday. So I am assuming they should all match up?
This is interesting. What display do you have by the way? Did you try the 3 presets I recommended for Dreamcast games?
I would like to try to get to the bottom of this if you donât mind continuing to pursue.
Mask 5 is a black and white mask unfortunately.
Does this happen on all cores? Is your display calibrated in any way? Are you using a custom or 3rd party colour profile in Windows?
Perhaps a clean graphics driver reinstall might be something you could try.
RetroArch can be updated to the latest version but HSM Mega Bezel Reflection Shader Versions should match the version of my preset pack being used.
This issue might be one that @guest.r or @HyperspaceMadness might want to follow up on. Any ideas?
Am all in 
Have tried this on my monitor (HP 25mx) as well as my 4k LCD Television. Same green tint issue.
Sorry, but do you mind if I ask what that means? The B&W comment I mean. As mentioned earlier, Iâve even tried 7, up to 12 and all of them display color perfectly. It is weirdly just no. 6 that has the green tint.
I actually went ahead and downgraded by Mega Bezel Pack to 1.6.3 to match your pack. Deleted latest and copied this version across.
Same issue.
Yea, my bad, didnât think of the ones that would stick with the HD core. I was more than happy to move everything over to BSNES and I gotta say not only did it fix the aspect ratio issues I was having but damn, everything just pops now. Night and day.
Iâm gna make those adjustments you suggested on the HD core and get back to you in the event tht helps anyone down the line.
Well you should probably stick with the standard BSNES now that youâve come upon an entire new system of doing things and you can leave the old ways behind because it truly is an experience on another level.
Do remember to turn on Blur in the Core Options if using Console Specific Presets with âFor BSNES Blur Emulationâ in the name.
Another thing you can try if your GPU can handle it is to enable DSR or VSR in your Graphics Card Control Panel then set your desktop resolution to 4K and use my 4K_Optimized presets.
It wouldnât be subpixel level accurate as with many of my 1080p_Optimized presets but it should look really nice and give you an alternative look and presentation.
Now that I have MBZ__1__Advance and MBZ__3__Standard Presets it should be easier than ever to run at 4K.
If running at 4K and sitting close to your monitor, you might find that my LeâSarsh_4K_Optimized might be a nice fit for SNES games due to the slightly softer look. This is actually closer to a JVC-D series TV for my Slot_Mask presets.
My regular 4K_Optimized presets look better to me from a distance on a larger screen so that you can still see and feel the CRT Effect.
Do experiment with my IV OLED Presets and the Mask Layout option. Thatâs really supposed to match the RGB subpixel order of your display. Some are RGB, while others are BGR. I just said use whichever one looks better for casual userâs sake.
Okay great. In that case it would be a great help if you could provide a couple examples including the full names of the presets and folders used and also the core along with everything else you have provided so that I can quickly load up the same game/core/preset at the same resolution to see if I see the same issues occurring on my end.
It means reinstallng your graphics card driver with the option checked to perform a clean install automatically or manually uninstall then reinstall graphics card driver instead of simply installing over the old driver.
Advanced users might even use Display Driver Uninstaller.
In other words, youâre starting from scratch where the display driver is concerned.
You can also backup your RetroArch installation and try a fresh installation and see if youâre still having the same issue.
So I tried a lot of the presets yesterday but canât recall which ones (all green tint). The ones tried earlier today were:
CyberLab__Arcade-Sharp__1080p__PVM-Edition__ADV @ \RetroArch\shaders\Mega_Bezel_Packs\CyberLab\MBZ__0__Smooth-Advance_Full_Reflections\1080p_Optimized_Presets
CyberLab__Ultimate_Virtual_Slot_Mask_CRT-1P2RTA__ADV @ same as above
CyberLab__RGB-Sharp__1080p__PVM-Edition__ADV @ same as above
CyberLab__RGB-Smooth__1080p__PVM-Edition__ADV @ same as above
Core: Flycast Core settings - > Video - > Internal Resolution tried both 640x480 and 1440x1080
Sorry, I knew exactly what you meant by re-install drivers 
I was asking about your comment on mask 5 being black and white.
With regards to re-installation of drivers, I actually did a clean install just last Sunday.
Btw, I tried a lot of the Mega Bezels from the Bezel folder and none of them had the green tint issue. Not sure if that means anything.
But you didnât try these Iâm assuming?
Dreamcast - CyberLab Slot Mask, CyberLab Computer Monitor Smooth
aka
CyberLab__Ultimate_Virtual_Slot_Mask_CRT-1P2RTA__ADV.slangp
aka
CyberLab__Computer-Monitor-Smooth__1080p__ADV.slangp
also
CyberLab__Computer-Monitor-Sharp__1080p__ADV.slangp
These are the recommended presets for Dreamcast. Itâs in the 1st post.
Have you ever stuck your nose up to a CRT and see the red, green and blue pattern? You wonât get that with a black and white mask. Youâll just get a hint of it, like a texture. Thatâs not what CyberLab Mega Bezel Death To Pixels Shader Preset Pack is about.
Instead I like to try to figure things out and make them better.
You just canât get this with a black and white mask:
Does this mean, if blur emulation not mentioned in âname stringâ leave this option off?
Any other suggestions for BSNES core options? upscaling, etc?
I did a quick look into this bc honestly it goes over my skill level. Iâm on a laptop with a 1050ti. From what I picked up during search, it might have Optimus running with the integrated graphics and isnât possible. I guess any info you have regarding would help steer in the right direction.
awesome name lol
And dude, goes without saying, weâre now down to extremely fine details at this point. You say when is enough. Youâve gone above and beyond giving me a hand.
The second one in your list (CyberLab__Ultimate_Virtual_Slot_Mask_CRT-1P2RTA__ADV.slangp) I did try. Itâs in the list in my previous msg.
Would you like me to try the others from the list above as well?
I havenât even seen a CRT in at least 15 yrs or more 
Almost impossible to get hold of them where I am.
Btw, I have a new weird and extremely random issue. So I am using the CyberLab__Ultimate_Virtual_Slot_Mask_CRT-1P2RTA__ADV (with mask type 5) as default now for my Naomi/Dreamcast roms on Retroarch. I just started Retroarch a few mins ago to try out a few more games and look how the shader/bezel showed up:
As you can see, unlike my previous screenshot, the top and bottom is suddenly missing!?
I didnât make any changes to the shader apart from changing mask type 5. Why would this be happening?
You definitely should.
You might just have to lower the Integer Scale Offset by 1.
I really donât know why youâre having issues. I just tested the whole lot of presets you mentioned plus the ones I recommend, all from my 1080p_Optimized folder and these are the results. The default mask layout for that folder is 1. I checked with both 1 as well as 0. For each Preset Screenshot Iâve included layout 1 followed by layout 0.
CyberLab__Ultimate_Virtual_Slot_Mask_CRT-1P2RTA__ADV
CyberLab__RGB-Sharp__1080p__PVM-Edition__ADV
CyberLab__RGB-Smooth__1080p__PVM-Edition__ADV
CyberLab__Arcade-Sharp__1080p__PVM-Edition__ADV
CyberLab__Computer-Monitor-Smooth__1080p__ADV.slangp
CyberLab__Computer-Monitor-Sharp__1080p__ADV.slangp
Based on these tests and results, I have a feeling that something is wrong with your setup somewhere. So you might want to try that clean reinstall as well as making a temp fresh RetroArch Folder and starting over.
This goes without saying. All other presets would have been optimized without taking Blur into consideration. Same goes for Higan Colour Emulation. That doesnât mean you canât switch it on or off if youâre using any other preset, for example one of my SNES Sharp presets or other general purpose presets but you donât really need to use those presets first and foremost as theyâre kinda foundational presets and my console specific presets are built upon them with further tweaks and customizations. I only enabled Blur Emulation in the first place for the transparencies in Kirbyâs Dream Land 3 SNES.
Then Iâve been trying my best to get a 1 size fits all SNES preset that supports the Blur, while being sharp enough to not cause eyestrain or headaches while playing Super Mario World and Super Mario Kart (from a distance) but at the same time trying to ensure that Ken and Ryu donât look like they can cut you with their jagged elbows as if they belong in an Atari 2600 game.
Most recently Iâve been trying to do all of the above plus allowing SNES games to have some added NTSC magic and flavour without using my Custom Blargg Video Filter Presets which unfortunately donât work with BSNES.
Iâll probably take a quick search myself but it isnât a necessity, just another way to try out my stuff. Using 1080p_Optimized at 1080p will get you subpixel level accurate stuff that allows your modern monitorâs led subpixels to act like old RGB phosphors from CRT displays.
At last, someone who gets it. Someone with a sense of humour with an appreciation for pun and creativity.
No problem, I just want you and others to try to better understand what it is Iâm attempting to do here in order to have a better experience. One that matches the outstanding and amazing experience that I have when playing my retro games.
Feel free to ask more and experiment with the different shader and filter preset combinations. Like RetroCrisis said, youâre sure to find at least one youâll fall in love with.
