Unfortunately not, I had a quick look but donā€™t really understand the file structure mine is E:\LaunchBoxX\Emulators\RetroArch\shaders\Mega_Bezel_Packs\Hgoda90-Graphic-Varieties-main\Presets\Console-Arcade\Nintendo ā€“ Game Boy Color\CyberLab\Arcade/Dandelion.slangp

E:\LaunchBoxX\Emulators\RetroArch\shaders\Mega_Bezel_Packs\Hgoda90-Graphic-Varieti\es-main\Presets\Soqueroeu-TV-Backgrounds_V2.0 the above wont work but i do have them working as a the author intended them to, so just in the Mega_Bezel_Packs, i also have Cybers shaders working in the Mega_Bezel_Packs as intended, Orion Angels stuff all works from your directory so im not sure why the others wont, Duimon-Mega-Bezel-Legacy-main works as its its installed where he says to put it, but nothing in this directory works E:\LaunchBoxX\Emulators\RetroArch\shaders\Mega_Bezel_Packs\Hgoda90-Graphic-Varieties-main\Presets\CyberLab+Duimon-Mega-Bezel

i bet its confusing reading this, Iā€™ve tried to explain it the best i can, i think its a directory thing.

After downloading your zip file and extracting it, this was how it wasā€¦ C:\Users\user\Downloads\Hgoda90-Graphic-Varieties-main\Hgoda90-Graphic-Varieties-main, so i just bought it up a level.

You will need to strip the ā€œmainā€ from the downloaded folders, it is something GitHub adds to the folder name.

In the case of my Legacy presets, you will have to strip ā€œ-Legacy-mainā€ from the folder name, leaving just ā€œDuimon-Mega-Bezelā€.

For my presets the folder name isnā€™t important because my relative paths donā€™t explicitly contain the folder name, but external references require a specific name. If you open one of Hgoda90ā€™s presets you can see the required paths.

#reference "../../../../../Duimon-Mega-Bezel/Presets/Advanced/Acorn_Archimedes/Archimedes-[ADV]-[Guest]-[Bezel]-[Night].slangp"
#reference "../../../../CyberLab/MBZ__1__Advance_Full_Reflections/1080p_Optimized_Presets/CyberLab__Ultimate_Virtual_Slot_Mask_CRT-1P2RTA__ADV.slangp"
#reference "../../../../Duimon-Mega-Bezel/Params/Advanced/Acorn_Archimedes/Archimedes-[ADV]-[Guest]-[Bezel]-[Night].params"

For my pack you could always just install using the Git method in the second post of my thread.

changing the folder names did help but still failed to apply on some, ill take a look in depth which ones they are later, now all the ones i had working need updatingā€¦lol Iā€™m not sure what ā€¦/ā€¦/ā€¦/ā€¦/ā€¦/ means in term of folders ? cheers.

yours work great, like you said its not folder name dependant.

../../../ are releative paths, each ../ steps one parent folder above the folder the file is in.

If you have my folder and Cyberā€™s folder named correctly, and have messed with a lot of stuff, just re-install Hgoda90ā€™s pack.

Not messed with just they worked with the folder name -main so I set my shaders up, now with the folder name change I have to reset them, I thought ā€¦/ā€¦/ meant that but I get confused so whatā€™s in the file is where itā€™s looking for ? :grin:

Duimon ā€“ Mega Bezel Graphics looks for Duimon-Mega-Bezel in the Mega_Bezel_Packs folder.

C+D ā€“ CyberLab+Duimon-Mega-Bezel looks for both Duimon-Mega-Bezel and CyberLab in the Mega_Bezel_Packs folder.

Soqueroeu ā€“ TV Backgrounds v2.0 looks for Soqueroeu-TV-Backgrounds_V2.0 in the Mega_Bezel_Packs folder

The folder names have to match.

Iā€™m going to have a good look at it, the independent ones in the root folder (mega bezel) work, and some of them in your pack work, like Orion Angels arcade etc , itā€™s so frustrating lol.

OrionsAngelā€™s presets and lfanā€™s presets should work since those only need their graphics. If Duimonā€™s and Soqueroeuā€™s are the only ones that youā€™re having problems with, then their folder names donā€™t match to what the preset is looking for.

Any in the root folder work, Cybers work in root, but some fails in hgoda90 folder, Iā€™ll do another mega bezel pack folder and see how it goes ā€¦

As you can probably tell, we are only guessing at the issue.

To make solving this easier, please post a log so we can see the exact error.

What should the folder be named after unzip ? So inside the mega bezel folderā€¦ just to clarify. :grin:

Duimonā€™s would be Duimon-Mega-Bezel and place Hgoda90-Graphic-Varieties in the Mega_Bezels_Pack folder.

The Game Boy Color CyberLab presets wonā€™t work since I added them accidently. The GBC Cyberlab params files wasnā€™t included. I removed the presets in a later update.

To get Duimon and Soqueroeu to work just remove -main and set Duimon-Mega-Bezel-Legacy-main to Duimon-Mega-Bezel.

Edit: I did add them back at a newer, but older than now, update than you have.
