Thank you very much, this excellent, when I have time I will put some captures.
Just one thing, the commodore 64? I miss him

Excellent, I’d love to see some gaming action!
I was building a list of Amiga exclusives and top-notch games just to take new screenshots (beyond my preferred top five). If you mind, I can share that: the range spans 1988-1998!
Next two steps for full release are Commodore64 and VIC20 packs. Preset system should remain the same and assets are in a good status, so expect something not too far in the future.
I plan to drop five C64 models, three VIC20 and two VC20 variations… multiplied by 34 presets each…
374 more presets to go! Damn! 
I absolutely need some feedback before going on

Whenever you want, more than one of us will do well when creating our Amiga romset, the amiga catalog is immense.
That one you put as commodore is absolutely incredible, the effect of the led on the cassette is magnificent, in fact I mentioned it to Duimon in his post, I’m happy with that.
Personally, I would start with that one and then do the others, are there too many presets, do you really need that much? That is to say, most of them with STANDARD or ADVANCED conform, I am doing the arcade ones and I am not going to do advanced or anything, night version yes but nothing else.

The whole point is inclusiveness, my idea about “design for all” is to bring complex shaders experience to everybody: so there was an actual extensive research and development behind the definition of EXT, ADV, STD, BAS and POT performance profiles. In fact, weaker GPUs may struggle with the most advanced solutions! Hence the need for so many variation profiles.
I’m pretty sure @HyperspaceMadness has some tricks up his sleeve for inclusiveness for the future! 
Thank you! That effect on Datassette was the reason I had to build my custom layer ordering to separate background+led from bezel+decal, using decal as an actual ‘bezel led’. Ahhh, feels like ages ago!

And an impressive job you done in the creation.
As impressive as your graphics and presets are, I am even more impressed with your meticulous documentation skills.
After you complete the work on this awesome collection, I feel the Mega Bezel could benefit from those skills. (In the spirit of inclusiveness.)

Thank you for your kind words!
Let’s see how far we can go with preset collections and shader integration. I’m pretty sure Mega Bezel framework can become one of the exclusive ‘selling points’ to get new audience and creators attention to the Libretro community, pushing the ‘design for all’ concept to new levels of easiness of use and deep control over customization.
Also… it’s so fun to enhence old games with so many tools, ranging from advanced colors postprocessing, grid masking and fake scanlines, simulated CRT technology peculiarities, upscaling tricks, smart overscan cropping… it’s like an old memories REMASTER!!! 
Killing those old amiga letterboxes after 33 years makes my inner child happy!
And yes, EXT and ADV multilayering enable advanced manipulation of procedural bezels while keeping background and leds intact

I agree. I also think of the Mega Bezel as a “framework” as opposed to a “shader”. Combined with @HyperspaceMadness’s existing and potential future changes to RA code, who knows what we will be looking at in another year?

Full integration in Retroarch with AI powered recognition of screen specifics and best case autoconfiguration?

i’m following the work of @Duimon and @HyperspaceMadness but you @TheNamec…what to say !!! your work is incredible and it’s an old amiga fan who tells you that
I found my child’s soul just before having sold my A1200 and my C64 (a heartbreaking)
keep the good work, you’re amazing 
is it wanted to have the background overlay not completely centered? for me, to much on the right but maybe i’m wrong (PUAE core with 1200synth Extreme)
And just a feedback and a question : is it not possible to have a simple path to put shaders and overlays (like a kind of convention)
for @Duimon : RetroArch\shaders\Duimon-Mega-Bezel
for you : RetroArch\shaders\shaders_slang\bezel

It’s by design, a trick to show some background while not shrinking the actual Amiga too much. This way you can have a sense of depth, a tension to the right and some breath to the left
As you may have noticed, there’s quite a turmoil with the various Mega Bezel projects. We all work individually, but we a continuous undergoing discussion so I think we will adopt some kind of standard as soon as the packs comes to a ‘stable’ form 
A heartbreaking, I still remember the day I had to throw away my c1084 before a move. Not by chance it was the first classic monitor I drew for the Commodore Pack!
Have fun with BC Kid, I loved it in the good old days when I didn’t even know of PC Engine existance!!! Thanks for the screenshot

I’ve got the “megabezel-commodore-pack-4k” folder in the root shaders directory.
\shaders\megabezel-commodore-pack-4k
and it works just fine. All the presets that need :/ syntax are using it.

yep, work just fine like that and easy to find from Retroarch

Yeah, this is what I generally recommend is that the package should go in the shaders folder

Fine, I’ll fix future releases to use /shaders as installation path to shorten navigation

Well, as Amiga CD32 is technically a console I tought it would have been nice to add a proper TV to the screens catalogue. The first of the RETRON crt series, will be included in the next release candidate.
This was freely inspired by one of the latest modern CRT, Philips-21PT3326-V7, from the @exodus123456 thread Of course, I had to put in the bezels as I love realtime reflections and curvature!
