My custom SNES overlays

This reminds me of Super Game Boy Bezels, I wonder if someone intend making SGB borders like you did in HQ, would be amazing.

Here’s another one for BOF:

I just started a playthru of the BOF series and decided to make overlays. It was difficult to find good usable scans of the original concept art. I ended up using the GBA character portraits.

Nice border man, looking forward to see more of them. Donkey Kong, SF2 and Mega Man series will look terrific with your skills.

I’ll put those on the list!

Request for SF2 and Sonic the Hedgehog.

Ok, here is a Street Fighter II overlay.

There is already a large amount of excellent SF bezels for Arcade & console, if you are interested they can be browsed at the RocketLauncher forums: http://www.rlauncher.com/forum/showthread.php?2013-BEZELS-for-MAME-(custom-for-16x9-Resolutions)&p=19618&viewfull=1#post19618

I made this bezel using the art assets from the arcade version:

Nice work, will do nicely for my Snes version SF2.

I figured Super Metroid was due, especially in light of the recent E3 announcements. Here’ s a Super Metroid overlay, I pulled character art from the 2002 Manga by Ishikawa Kenji (art).

I just discovered Retroarch over the weekend. Is there a nice tutorial on how to load these boarders? I’m a bit confused and Google hasn’t been very helpful :frowning:

I have not looked at the downloads for these but generally you will have the image and a .cfg text file Text file lists the image name and tells RA to display it fullscreen.

Copy the files into a sensible location like the overlays/borders folder

Then for example load up the SMW game above. Enter the menu and go to Settings->Onscreen Display->Onscreen Overlay

Turn on display overlay

On Overlay Preset browse to the location of your .cfg file and select it

Go back and resume the game. If all is fine enter the menu and go down to Save Game Preset.

So that overlay will only show when you load the game.

Depending on your screen layout you may need to adjust your video settings to fit the screen.

I covered that stuff recently on my website I think. I will get back to you

@Syde1020 i made this weeks ago and you reminded me to finish it. It may help

Nice work! thxs for sharing this:+1:

Sorry for this, but, can you make an overlay of EarthBound 2?

That’s amazing! Thanks!

Hi, I downloaded all your works … SPLENDID! I would like suggestions on GB, GBC, and GBA systems. While for SNES the image of the game is centered by the overlay for these systems instead it is not so, could you help me? I do not know what the x parameters are to fix. I use the VBA-M core Thank you
