I went ahead and checked the names of the rest of the presets. The Arcadia 2001 potato presets were named Intellivision.

Yeah, I’m not surprised. I have been really struggling to not act with too much haste as the list draws to a close.

It appears that I did not entirely succeed. :grin:

I’ll fix it right away. Thanks again.

Hi Duimon, was this released yet or are you still working on some of the obscure handhelds to release as a pack?

Thank you for all your efforts with these overlays :slight_smile:

Whoa, Neat!!! good find @Duimon

Here is a WIP on the Bally Astrocade.

There were three different logo plates for this thing, I honestly chose the easiest one to create. :grin:

I really had to mess with reality on this one… other wise the control panel and cartridge slot would be hidden.

I plan to add those as a separate layer so users can hide it if it bugs them, or use parameters to move them into the center in a 21:9 setup.

Welcome to the forum!

You are very welcome.

It has been released on a regular basis over the last two plus years. The latest release was just yesterday.

Nope… I only have the Astrocade left on my list, and it should be in the repo tonight with any luck. :grin:

There will be 162 systems in the v1.0 release. :exploding_head:

Jump to the first and second post of the thread for download and installation instructions.

There is also a list of available systems in the second post.

Ladies and Gentlemen…

The Duimon-Mega-Bezel / Duimon-Mega-Bezel-Potato repos and releases are updated to v1.0.0.0.

Changes:

  • Added Bally Astrocade

The link to the current releases are in the first post. Installation/Update instructions are near the end of the second.


Here are a few shots of the final Bally Astrocade.


I will be spending at least the next couple of weeks creating decorations for Batocera from the last half of my project.

When I am done I plan to give @TheNamec’s preset boilerplate a try. Then I may do surgery on my PVM’s. I also need to update my GitHub pages site, so there is plenty to do in the near future. :wink:

I have updated the list in the second post but I haven’t made a personal commitment to attack it straight away… I may want to have some fun first and do some Vintage TV’s… we’ll see.

Congratulations! So many systems with such great quality!

The graphics are so integral to what makes the Mega Bezel fun and gives a physical feeling of nostalgia!

Thanks so much for your tireless dedication and amazing contribution to the community!

So what’s next? :rofl:

LOL!

Honestly, after I finish with the Batocera decorations I thought I might spend some serious time with my existing presets.

TheNamec’s boilerplate will be fun to trace down. I’m thinking that to fully utilize it I should do a fair restructure. Maybe add in some custom CRT settings. (All my presets are the defaults.)

I want to do room versions for all the monitors, maybe with multiple backgrounds. I may create some peripheral devices like floppy drives etc. and possibly some custom night images.

The PVM20 needs some serious work… the aspect is way off.

There are a lot of things I have been putting off for a while.

The items on my new list may sit there for a long time. :innocent:

I also want to do some vintage TV’s. This one first.

Only with this style.

With the cabinet in the first shot it is a perfect 16x9.

Others.

Time to have a bit of fun!! :grin:

That Sony with the brown frame is classic. Do you redraw these, or just hunt down good photos?

I redraw everything as vector art in Adobe Illustrator. A good photo as source is really helpful.

Hey Duimon, hope all is well on your end. Congratulations on finishing up the main list, excited to see some new TVs in the future! I just have a quick question, which i may have asked before a while ago and just forgot if there was a fix for it or not. Some games, noticeably snes, and n64, sometimes psx…have a ugly black border i cant get rid of. I know you told me before that those consoles switch to other resolution and that’s what causes it but wasn’t sure if i can crop it out somehow for some games that suffer from it pretty heavily. Duke Nukem 64 for example is pretty bad.

You can use the [ CROPPING CORE IMAGE ]: parameter group to get rid of the black border.

You can try CROP BLACK ONLY

and

Crop Zoom %

I find that

CROP ANY

and individual Top, Bottom, Left, and Right works the best. (Some systems. such as the Coleco Adam, had a very consistent border, but most are fairly random.)

Make sure to save a “Game” preset when you have it the way you want it.
