hmmm tested an bezel for dragons lair …not sure about that …also my videofile “game” is going nuts 
back to the preset stuff
made a new monitor overlay for the Automatic preset
- it keeps the same 2 reflection/bezel theme
- gave the redone case a beige/yellowed color
- the bezel is now more darkbrown/greyish ,
- he badge on the top glass layer will show the system
i think this style should fit for 8bit micros AND 3dfx VOODOO era games and beyond^^

P3st´s AUTOCONFIG preset
https://www.mediafire.com/file/qgmnq3xxvgxn2z6/P3sT-Autoconfig_test.7z/file
This is a test release and more a proof of concept what the wildecard feature can handle on its own
how it works
- load one of the 4 variatons
- save as global preset (or as core/directory preset if you already use other shaders)
- done. ^^
info/readme
in order to work as it should you roms should be using the no-inro names
for the right Channel LCD/badge for the system you folder names should look like this,
- Atari - 2600
- Atari - 5200
- Atari - 7800
- Atari - Jaguar
- Commodore - 64
- Commodore - Amiga
- Commodore - CD32
- DOS
- Microsoft - MSX
- Microsoft - MSX2
- NEC - PC Engine - TurboGrafx 16
- Nintendo - Nintendo Famicom Disk System
- Nintendo - GameCube
- Nintendo - Nintendo 64/Nintendo - Nintendo 64 - Widescreen (in case of hacks etc.)
- Nintendo - Nintendo 64DD
- Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System
- Nintendo - Satellaview
- Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System
- Nintendo - Wii
- Philips - CD-i
- Sega - 32X
- Sega - Dreamcast
- Sega - Master System - Mark III
- Sega - Mega Drive - Genesis
- Sega - Mega-CD - Sega CD
- Sega - Saturn
- Sony - Playstation
- The 3DO Company - 3DO
if this is not the case you have to rename your folders/change the params in the Variations folder
when the rom names are not matching some features like the sinden border and cropping will not be load.
when the folder names dont match , the overlays still work but dont show the system/channel namer or badge
Following Cores/ports don´t work well with content-dir names so they just use their core name
- Quake
- Quake II
- Quake III
- ScummVM
- ECWOLF
- DOOM (prboom)
- DOOM 3
SPECIAL NOTES
you should use the default crop setting depending on the core it used it as a base ( besides PC Engine and Sega Saturn)
i just tested the cores mentioned before …the most things should work with other cores i think .
there are a few examples in the CROP folder , also a example the lightgun border in the SINDEN folder
more params for cropping and other features will come over time ^^
have fun
for now this is an example and i need feedback and suggestions for this

reuploaded the autoconfig preset fixed a typo with the dolphin flip param
Hey… just downloaded this. There were some duplicate name/overwriting problems when unzipping. Not sure if that will cause any problems with presets.
edit Just disregard… I opened it over the previous version. Sorry.

i was searching around for some intressting hacks found also conker uncensored text and speech , and widescreen and 60fps codes for it …
also an intressting but really early dev/demo version from an ongoing castlevania symphony of the night port …for the GAMEBOY

This thread continues to amaze me!
One thing to note that you may already be aware of, the perspective of the two arcade cabinets either side of the bezel is wrong, they should be rotated. Currently they are displayed as if you are standing directly in front of them which distracts from the realistic nature of the bezel. I realise this is probably not easy to achieve currently.

I think we need to be careful when using these words. As artists we can do anything we want, even if it is divorced from reality, as long as it fits our vision.
If you would like to see something different, please phrase it as such. “I would like to see the perspective change. I think it would be more realistic.”

it´s okay i don´t think he meant to be harsh …as i said i was also thinking the same for the tilted cabs .
just have to find some good art
the things is that i only have the front view image as resource, as you know
so i will try to merge this with the neo geo cab i made or something 
Just the other day someone was comparing my work to someone else’s in a post on my thread. He said he thought it was “better” than mine.
People have a habit of using that type of vernacular. And I think it’s important to educate them to do otherwise.
This type of comparison is why I limited my Amiga graphics to just one Amiga and one C64. I didn’t want anyone rudely comparing my work to @TheNamec’s work.
So my collection isn’t as complete as it could be…and that is not “OK”.
