Tilted Screen Test for Mame Arcade Bezels with Retroarch

[Orionsangel]

Here I test a tilted screen overlay with Monkey Ball on Retroatch with Sega Naomi.

[Tarrasque]

Wait!

Are you saying that Retroarch now accepts mame-style overlays???

[Orionsangel]

It always did, but adding individual overlays to each game is not easy on Retroarch. Because it’s hundreds of games and each game would need it’s own cfg file to be added to the emulator manager.

Here I test Donkey Kong with a tilted screen with Mame in Retroarch

[Tarrasque]

It always did, but adding individual overlays to each game is not easy on Retroarch. Because it’s hundreds of games and each game would need it’s own cfg file to be added to the emulator manager.

So, to use your wonderful bezels, all one has to do is copyng the whole content of the zip file in the appropriate folder for the corresponding game??

[Orionsangel]

If you’re using mame just drop the zip file into the artwork folder in mame and the cfg file in the cfg folder for mame and you’re all set. You’ll have to adjust the tab slider settings yourself though as mame doesn’t save those settings.

[Tarrasque]

Actually, I’m using Retroarch exclusively, so I’m using a name core, not regular Mame.

[Orionsangel]

In that case you need the png image files within each zip. Put the ones you want in any Retroarch folder you create. Now make sure each png you use has it’s own cfg file. Then add the overlay you want from within Retroarch

So let’s say you name a png file, ArcadeBezel

The contents within the cfg would look like this…

overlays = 1

overlay0_overlay = ArcadeBezel.png

overlay0_full_screen = true

overlay0_descs = 0

[Tarrasque]

So if I get it correct, the only way is adding an overlay to the core using RetroArch’s menu and the *.png files contained in the zip files?

What if I put the *.zip files in the folder that the MAME core expects? Would they be ignored?

[Orionsangel]

That’s a good question. Try it out.
