its the retroarch mascot (kinda xD) and its better as a loading bar , most loading bars i seen in bigbox are to soon at max , dont reach max or looping

Without this shader it would be way way harder to create such a theme the tools/settings it has …
i used a lot of this shader-trickery to made this out of screenshots and captures with different settings on and off , also it helped me so much to create the masks
the only stuff i was missing was some sort of way to load/control everything up without any differnt screens/designs/Blackscreen 
and to get the reflection in bigbox via some videos and a bit masking looked way better at the end as i thought

When you are finished, you should post it over at the Launchbox forums as a theme too… you will drop some jaws over there.

NEW UPDATE including the BigBox Theme
I plan for the next version to make a lot of reorg stuff.
and because of this and the big box theme, this update is Standalone
You can just copy it over my old version or use it on its own.
https://mega.nz/folder/gjckTLhY#ZjMEQ75N9JEVOd0xcFrB4A
changes
Improved some settings in the TV presets
added “Auto” presets (uses the wildcard feature)
This will change the tv/monitor on its own.
shows the system via channel lcd or monitor batch
adds cropping , lightgun border and various fixes automatic
all of this depends on game name/system/rom folder structure.
added presets for the VIRTUA CRT THEME (same as Auto but keeps the chosen TV style and aspect)
Wood
Silver
both have also an alternative set of presets without the flicker effect and disabled GTU
no GTU
GTU
i will upload the theme in the lauchbox forum in a few days today i am more busy than usual ^^
whats next?
make all presets use the wildcard feature
reorganize the folder structure
Redo the Arcade overlays (when the new MBZ lighting feature arrives^^)
add more overlays to the Auto presets

found an little tool that let you change the settings of the super game boy …so it loads the correct control setting A at launch - add gb original or own pallete and as on this pic can bring back the original sgb 1 border for the sgb2 (it loads after the sgb2 boot border)
it works flawless with Mesen-S
just copy the patched rom as SGB1.sfc or SGB2.sfc into retroarchs system folder

I watched the video and couldn’t wait to implement the arcade stuff. I have searched through the thread here, but I can’t get pats the fact that Final Burn Neo rotates the play field and the bezel 90 degrees. I have figured out how to rotate the play field in the shader settings, but nothing I do seems to rotate the bezel. All I could think to do is to mess with the Vertical mode in the core settings, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have a specific step-by-step on how to fix this? I have messed with the aspect ratio settings that @Duimon posted, but maybe I am doing something wrong.

Check out the installation instructions in the first post of the Mega Bezel thread, the issues you are running into should be solved by following that setup.
This due to a Retroarch “core” option, (Settings>>>Core) not an internal “core option”. (Quick Menu>>>Core Options)
Read the install instructions from the Mega Bezel thread carefully,
Good luck!
Yep @HyperspaceMadness and @Duimon. I already had Mega Bezels and the Duimon presets working. The step that I missed was…

I think this looks the way it does now because I use an ultrawide

You might be able to just use an extra wide image for the background, then when you show it at 16x9 the sides will just be cropped off
