Post Your Overlays!

[lilbud]

I made a Sony PVM Overlay (Yeah, I know it’s unoriginal)

Link: https://github.com/lilbud/RetroPie-Overlays/tree/master/Sony%20PVM

Settings:

custom_viewport_height = “563”

custom_viewport_width = “704”

custom_viewport_x = “329”

custom_viewport_y = “25”

And use CRT Geom with these settings:

alias0 = “”

cornersize = “0.035000”

cornersmooth = “1400.000000”

CRTgamma = “2.700000”

CURVATURE = “1.000000”

d = “3.000000”

DOTMASK = “0.000000”

filter_linear0 = “true”

float_framebuffer0 = “false”

mipmap_input0 = “false”

monitorgamma = “2.799999”

I apparently can’t create a new topic yet (new account) so I’ll just post these here for now:

I’m still working to perfect these, and once I get a good groove going, it will be trivial to expand the library of overlays. I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

WIP Files: GitHub - CLASSIC CRT COLLECTION

To use these overlays, you will need to place the CRT folder in your overlay folder on your Pi: /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay

You will then be able to access them from the Quick Menu.

Hello! A simple overlay gamepad I made for 8 inch tablets, regular overlays look giant on screens bigger than a smarthphone. Thank you for all the great work!

Thank you! It’s a combo of square and x together (y and b). It’s useful for some ps1 games , but it can be changed on the cfg file.

Hello everyone, as a debut here a little Photoshop project of mine which I was working on the last days (Not nonstop ofc… ;)). I think it came out pretty nice, and it was recommended I should post it here. So here I am .

For years I long for a Sony BVM-1310 CRT Monitor, I simply adore the cool and professional look with lots of visible switches. So I thought some time ago, if I can’t afford the real thing, at least would this monitor make a great overlay for 4:3 emulation on a 16:9 screen, since it is one of very few monitors having most switches on both sides of the screen instead of below like most tvs and monitors… And that’s why I created this overlay. The “Reloaded” version contains two overlays with different frame thickness on top and at the bottom. Depending on emulator core, game resolution and game aspect ratio the one or the other will come in handy.

You can download it here: Sony-BVM-1310_RetroArch_Overlay_Reloaded_v11.zip

Have fun!

That’s so beautiful, thanks!

I have a question regarding the overlays in the Github repository here :https://github.com/libretro/overlay-borders/tree/master/16x9%20Collections/Nosh01%201440%20Plain

Why is there a Neo Geo MVS overlay, but no AES one ?

[Loony555]

Difficult to say… In terms of authenticity, there should be one. So I made two… (horizontal and vertical)… Download here, including retroarch.cfg: http://www.mediafire.com/file/b5lgt34fw5th15c/SNK-Neo-Geo-AES-Bezels-16x9-2560x1440.zip/file Maybe someone can upload it to github as well.

[Tromzy]

Awesome, thanks ! It would be nice to add them to the repo !

Great looking overlay! I tried it out and I like the general dimensions of it on my 8 inch Nvidia Shield K1.

Only thing is I found it somewhat easy to slide my thumb over from the dpad to the state save/load icons. I never tried editing a layout before, so I thought deleting the lines for the save/load icons from the .cfg would result in those icons being removed, but it instead blanked out the entire overlay altogether.

I guess this is kind of a general question for someone who is new to editing touchscreen overlays but what’s the correct way to edit specific icons from the .cfg without ruining the integrity of the overlay altogether?

Thanks a lot man, those are incredible!

Great job dudes, cool overlays

Hi everyone!

I’m new to RetroArch and recently learned about Overlays. Mainly because I wanted Scanline, and the hardware I’m using can’t handle shaders - so I’m using Overlay Scanlines instead. That being said - using the built-in Scanlines means I can not use Bezel Overlays. Is there anyone who created platform based Overlay bezels that also have Scanlines integrated into them?

Couldn’t find anything on a quick search, so trying my luck here.

Thanks!

I’ve edited this GBA overlay.

Hello everyone, here’s my Commodore Plus/4 overlay. By default it’s a keyboard but you can switch to a joystick mode. I’m using it for the “VICE xplus4” core. Some keys might collide with hotkeys you set up in the core options but it works well enough with default settings.
