i also was thinking to play around wth a really large masked bezel to obtain this as a fake effect ^^
I have used this method, by reducing the opacity of parts of an overlay. It works quite well.

That looks like a great shader. Not the bezel itself but rather the shader of the game area. What new version is this?

Hi there. I’m just curious. Does this mean you can play Mame core Retroarch with a lightgun? Everyone I asked for help says to use mame standalone for lightguns as it is easier to setup. But I’d like to use RA for mame lightgun as well but again, it is supposed to be notoriously difficult to setup. Any chance you could point me in the right direction or provide me a quick bullet point checklist of things to do in RA and/or elsewhere? I got the AE Lightgun so using the gun itself isn’t too difficult. Thanks.
This is the latest version of Mega Bezel. It looks awesome. This is mega drive GX core

Hey I just got confirmation that the Mega Bezel is now working on Mac using Vulkan / Metal in the Retroarch Nightlies, thanks to the work of developer Warmenhoven! 
Thanks Warmenhoven, you ROCK!!!

yeah it works with the mame cores
all i had to do is to copy a cfg file from the sinden software .zip
inside retroarchs mame folder, then i double checked if the settings are like it should by going in the mame menu itself i (set a key for end game inside the tab menu under general controls )
under general settings , lightgun device should be set to mouse ! didn´t even try to set it to lightun
then in the core itself you set the lighgun mode to lightgun not touchscreen
i heard the same stuff and was quite afraid , and than i was quite suprised that i get it working with everything under an hour
here a small list of what cores are working with the lightgun (at least all i use myself)
dolphin, duckstation, final burn neo, flycast, genesis plus gx (also works with mastersystem light phaser games), mame, mednafen saturn, mesen, snes 9x
c64 and amiga aswell as the atari cores seems to have no support for such things atm
also some “gun games” that don´t use a real light gun you can setup for a lightgun with fbneo jurassic park and alien 3 the gun are some of them

Atari 2600 Sentinel, Shooting Arcade (unreleased), Bobby needs Food (homebrew)

hello person, I installed the mega bezel on my RA and everything worked ok, so I put the duimon package, to customize my cores even more, but some of them like PS1, GC, ATARI7800 and others, just give an error, and it is not applied the parameter, can anyone tell me what it could be? the error says there was a failure applying a shader preset
I read there were some problems with Duimon’s and he was going to re-upload it.

Please get us a log and then we can see what is going on.
There are instructions in the Mega Bezel Readme about how to get a log.
There were some big issues with the package the last couple of days. It has been updated so please try it again. I would recommend deleting what you downloaded and start over.
They were primarily path errors on my part.

i also can confirm that with the mame core you can setup lucky and wild to play it with a steering wheel and a lightgun in combination just like the real deal ^^

This sounds pretty of ambiguous. I would like to get it on record that the issue was with my presets not the shader.
Hopefully @HalterX’s success means things are looking up with my new presets.

Hey man that’s awesome. So since my lightgun, the AE Lightgun, is plug and play/USB powered and doesn’t come with any additional software, it follows that I don’t have a cfg file I could copy into RA’s mame directory. What’s your take on this? Should I create a cfg file myself, somehow? Or could it work without such a cfg file for this particular lightgun?
Thanks, and by the way I’m kinda derailing the thread a wee bit so I’m happy to converse with P3ST via PM’s.
