This looks fantastic, and yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever crossed my fingers this hard that Retroarch puts out a release soon. 
Even just on the Commodore pack side and new 1080p presets for those, I’m so excited for it.

Believe me, just looking at how many things cool things the entire Mega Bezel Community kept building while waiting for release… really makes crossings everything crossable - ouch - a daily routine!
Let’s hope the update drop soon, I need some feedback on my latest folies to stay grounded to planet earth!

2 questions : you mention RC4. Where can i find it or when is it expected to be released on your github? I saw the Mega Bezel is updated to V1.0.007_2022-08-29_Rev-1 and Duimon already made some changes to his presets. Do you also have to make changes to have it work with V1.0.007_2022-08-29_Rev-1

If I may. I think @TheNamec is using Retroarch features that are only currently available in the Nightly build.
Hense…

Loving the CRT Shader Preset and Geometry on these @TheNamec! Cudo’s to you for basing your new work around Integer scale for even cleaner CRT effects!
Do you know what would be really awesome?! A stereoscopic 3D version of these! That would be sooooo amazing!!! Literally the next level! Can you imagine that?

Current RC3.1 should work with latest Mega Bezel without problems.
Commodore pack RC4 will be out as soon as next Retroarch will be released, as it includes some new features not yet available in current public RetroArch.
CRTGaming pack will follow soon, as it’s based on the same customized preset framework.
Hopefully the wait will be over, sooner or later.

Would that work on current RetroArch? Imagine that on VR!
Yup since RC4 all preset will include an option for easy-peasy interger scaling with flat bezels and faux-curved bezels. Pixel purists will enjoy this!

Yes, same here. xD My heart skipped a beat when I saw that a new version was finally out. Knowing what’s coming in the next TheNamec pack and how the existing ones have already elevated my Amiga and C64’ng experience has me waiting with baited breath.

Ahah this really caught me by surprise! Fortunately I had quite a lot of things done.
Today I’ll do some extra icing on both assets and presets. It will be a long night!
I decided to enable all of the newest Mega Bezel marvels for you to enhance your retrogaming, like B-SPLINE filtered DREZ, new Hyllian de-dithering filter and super-xbr smoothing.
As we prepare our escape from the COMMODORE safe zone, we have to prepare for some serious CRT GAMING!

Wow, this is quite the accomplishment @TheNamec!
I think all these permutations of different CRT Flavours will be a really great fun for people to try out all the different looks.
Awesome Stuff!

As impressive as the release post is, I expect it pales in comparison to the actual presets.
I also expect to learn a lot from the example you set. 
Great work @TheNamec. Congratulations!
The Amiga CDTV!!!

Holy shizz, this was a WONDERFUL thing to wake up to this morning. I’ve been gleefully digging into the new presets and marvelling at each one; thank you so much for the hard work you’ve put into this, Namec. I’m seeing all my favourite 'miggy games in whole new lights and in ways now that I haven’t really seen since I actually owned one and played on a little Hinari TV. I really appreciate the soft composite preset you’ve included as that feels very nostalgic, and the CDTV overlay is absolutely gorgeous. The whole suite of options you’ve been able to implement is dizzying. I’ve included some screenies of some of those favourite games and how lovely they’re looking.
Cheers too to HSM and everyone involved in this amazing community project, cause yeah, y’all absolute stars for enabling all this for us.

I really appreciate that, I tryed to build this “Amiga experience” to capture that very specific visual with lots of variations. Tnx for the enthusiasm, that really makes things move on.
What happened in the second screenshot? Looks like a giant 16:9 black box
