Hey @Orionsangel, where did you find the bezel for SmashTV? I only found one link but it was in an old Freehand format I don’t know how to convert. I wanted to do this one in my format too

FYI, just in case you guys weren’t aware, RetroArch can also load the MAME artwork/layout format now. It’s significantly more complex to make one than a typical RetroArch overlay, but it does give you some more flexibility (you can specify multiple “layouts” for things like with and without glass glare/reflection) and you can hardcode the screen opening size/location instead of users needing to set it themselves.

However, they currently only work with the GL driver, and complex multipass shaders get screwy scaling with them.

Can Retroarch detect if the screen orientation of the game is vertical or horizontal, and then decide the correct overlay for it?

Not that I know of, no. AFAIK, there would have to be something added to the API for the frontend to know such a thing, even if the core does.

I seem to have a real knack at looking for esoteric arcade bezels that haven’t been made, but did I miss a bezel for Vectorbeam’s Speed Freak? I know it would be a boring bezel, it’s just black, but the curve of the cabinet is pretty distinctive.

Hmm, it’s so obscure though. I don’t think many would care for it or maybe they would? I don’t know. I also don’t know how much available source material could be found online and in high quality.

I tried to look into the new MAME artwork feature of RetroArch but it does not seem to work for me, as I posted in the Android section of the forum

Thanks man! You’re a blessing.

The chrome molding is from the actual arcade cabinet.
