Hgoda90 - Mega Bezel Graphics + Varieties

[Duimon]

I struggle with the same thing on my Custom_Bezel_001 presets. Lately I have been using the split scale/X Scale solution to compensate a bit but there are some times when it just isn’t possible to make it look 100% right.

I create them anyway for consistency.

I think your bezel looks fine.

In the end it is all subjective. There are quite a few Batocera users that use my Custom_Bezel_001 exclusively.

@Duimon

In the end it is all subjective.

I just don’t want the bezel to overpower the Graphic in anyway. I don’t doubt there are setting changes that would make it look a lot better with them. I will be messing with the settings to see if it possible to get a real good look with the keyboard graphics.

Edit: After a quick setting change, I think I found the right settings.

[hgoda90]

Thanks to @Duimon I will be doing the Wide Frame for the keyboard graphics too. I thought making the Wide Frame look like a monitor with these would be better. The shaders will be placed in the Wide Frame folder, since they are technically still Wide Frame but with a slight few changes.

@hgoda90

I figured why not do @lfan’s DOSBox overlays next since they have just been updated. The pictured shader file might be curved too much.

These DOSBox overlays might also go well with a nice fine pitch Dotmask/Shadowmask or SlotMask as opposed to heavy PVMish scanlines.

When I reach to emulating DOS Games, I might make something along those lines but I’ve heard that great results can be obtained by using a certain mask with a certain offset combination.

@RealNC

(That’s a VGA CRT on a PC, not a SNES. The game is running in an emulator.)

One of the best ways I currently know of to replicate the look, at least on my 1440p display, is with crt-guest-advanced’s mask 6 with stagger set to 1. Slot mask parameters all set to 0. They don’t look right on 1440p.

While I am creating the folders for the “keyboard” shaders, I thought I should clarify that the system will follow the other naming, Maker – System. I want to make sure people know that since BBC Master and Micro are by Acorn and Laser 310 is by VTech. They will be Acorn – BBC Master and VTech – Laser 310.

[hgoda90]

I completed the Computer Wide Frames.

Duimon Computer Wide Frame

The difference from the Console Wide Frame is the Non Integer Scale, Frame Width and Frame Height.

HSM_NON_INTEGER_SCALE = "83.000000"
HSM_CURVATURE_2D_SCALE_LONG_AXIS = "60.000000"
HSM_CURVATURE_2D_SCALE_SHORT_AXIS = "65.000000"
HSM_BZL_WIDTH = "55.000000"
HSM_BZL_HEIGHT = "55.000000"
HSM_BZL_INNER_CORNER_RADIUS_SCALE = "150.000000"
HSM_BZL_INNER_EDGE_THICKNESS = "700.000000"
HSM_BZL_OUTER_CURVATURE_SCALE = "105.000000"
HSM_BZL_OUTER_CORNER_RADIUS_SCALE = "300.000000"
HSM_FRM_TEXTURE_BLEND_MODE = "1.000000"
HSM_FRM_THICKNESS = "180.000000"
HSM_FRM_THICKNESS_SCALE_X = "150.000000"
HSM_FRM_OUTER_CORNER_RADIUS = "10.000000"
HSM_FRM_OUTER_EDGE_THICKNESS = "300.000000"
HSM_FRM_OUTER_EDGE_SHADING = "75.000000"
HSM_FRM_SHADOW_OPACITY = "200.000000"
HSM_FRM_SHADOW_WIDTH = "60.000000"

[hgoda90]

Of course I get done and find better settings. Shouldn’t matter too much it should be a simple S & R.

I think I should mention that I found these settings to look way more like a monitor, because I was looking at a picture of one while I was changing them.

Edit: Yep, thought about it and decided it would probably be better to keep the Computer Wide Frame Settings the same. The other settings I came up with will be better released as Monitor with Duimon’s Graphics.

[hgoda90]

Made a few changes to the “Monitor” Style so I thought to post an image of them.

[hgoda90]

Added lfan Sega Saturn JP Overlay as Gold.

Edit: Just made a few tweaks.

[hgoda90]

With a decent amount of setting changes I was actually able to make a Wii “Monitor”.

Edit: Added the “Monitors” to the repo. I didn’t forget the 16:9 or variations.

[hgoda90]

I thought a modern thin framed monitor look would be better for 16x9 Wii.

Good ideas and implementation @hgoda90! Keep it up!

[hgoda90]

Thanks, I am just trying to be helpful. I had another idea, since there are so many PS2 games that support 16:9 why not 16:9 monitor.

Edit: Added to repo.

I changed the background back to the PS2.

[hgoda90]

I think I am ahead of the curve. I was being a little curious into what a possible XBOX monitor would look like.

Edit: Being me, I just went ahead and made 16:9 versions and a Green variation of them. I will post them to the repo later for anyone who wants them.

[hgoda90]

I wanted to know if everybody finds it easy to navigate the shaders.

[hgoda90]

I couldn’t help myself.

[hgoda90]

I was thinking about a TV style bezel where it is bezel and frame only. I found a stock image that I thought was real good to recreate. All of this is just an idea as of right now.

[hgoda90]

Went ahead and did a 16x9 TV Bezel. If I do these, which I most likely will, it won’t be for another week.
