Bezels - I Could Really Use Some Help

[Rotgut]

Not sure what I am doing wrong - - - I followed a YouTube tutorial to the letter and I am still not seeing the bezel show up for Game Boy Advance.

 

Austin...  I am using your bezel (the png image and the ini file) from the ftp site.

 

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.  I went into HyperLaunchHQ and set everything up according to this tutorial: 

 

 

Maybe I am naming something incorrectly...?  Help...?  For god's sakes...? LOL

[Rotgut]

Bump

[Rotgut]

I guess no one has a f**k to give...

[SIMPLYAUSTIN]

Mate, you posted that at 1am my time, it's now 7am. You have to give people time to help as this ain't a job.

 

However.... What setup are you using, hyperlaunch or rocketlauncher?

[gigapig]

Does the bezel your using for GBA have the accompanying ini file and have you placed it in the right location? 

 

You can also ask for help on my Youtube Channel (or Austins, ) and I would have replied after waking up, taking a piss, having a coffee and then answering you naked at either my PC or on  my phone

Path for your artwork should be ":\RocketLauncher\Media\Bezels\Nintendo Game Boy Advance\_Default"

 

If your not using RetroArch (I see in other posts you have mentioned you can't get it working) tell us the Emu your using and I/we will test it. 

 

[SIMPLYAUSTIN]

Just for you mate

Path for your artwork should be ":\RocketLauncher\Media\Bezels\Nintendo Game Boy Advance\_Default"

Thanks for the info, guys.  I was a bit sauced last night, sorry for the rudeness.

 

I watched your new vid, Austin... nice!  Thanks for that.

 

So here is my path:

C:\Program Files\HyperSpin\HyperLaunchHQ\Media\Bezels\Nintendo Game Boy Advance\_Default

 

Inside that _Default folder are the three files from Austin:

Bezel - 16x9 Nintendo Gameboy Advance (Austin585).ini

Bezel - 16x9 Nintendo Gameboy Advance (Austin585).png

Thumbs.db

 

The emulator I am running:

VisualBoyAdvance-M

 

I am able to get a fade going (finally) but no matter what game I run, no bezel shows up at all.

 

I have "Bezel Enabled" set to true in HyperLaunchHQ

 

Again, I did grab the three files from Austin's Mega download, off the YouTube vid.

 

I'm at a loss.  Any thoughts/advice?

[SIMPLYAUSTIN]

Not used that emulator in a long time mate. The bezel should show no problem. But you may be better of using a generic bezel such as gigas. 

 

The one included in my pack is intended for RetroArch as you can choose your own screen in that. 

 

But either way I am sure it should have shown if it was set up correctly. 

[gigapig]

Unless that is a typo your path is wrong. Bezel go in the HyperLaunch\media folder not the HyperLaunchHQ\media folder.

[gigapig]

Tested Visualboyadvanced M with bezels, all fine.

[Rotgut]

Unless that is a typo your path is wrong. Bezel go in the HyperLaunch\media folder not the HyperLaunchHQ\media folder.

The only folder I have with the name HyperLaunch is a HyperLaunchHQ folder inside my HyperSpin folder. I changed the name to HyperLaunch to see if that was the issue but it didn't make any difference.

Anyway, here is a screen grab of what I have going on, maybe you can spot something I am not doing correctly?

[SIMPLYAUSTIN]

You changed the name of the Hyperspin folder to hyperlaunch?  If that's true, I doubt anything would work mate.

 

What version Hyperspin and hyoerlaunch do you have?

 

If you have a, marged folder and things are setup right, before you changed the folder. The bezels and fades should live in ...

 

...Hyperspin/Media/Game Boy Advance/Media

 

Whatever you do, don't rename anything... Everything needs a path mate. If you change a name, everythings path changes.

No, I changed the "HyperLaunchHQ" folder name to just "HyperLaunch."

I have HS ver 1.3.3 and the last version of HyperLaunchHQ, whatever that is.

Hmm... Okay, well your folder path is different than the one someone else had shown me... I will try that and let you know. Thank you, Austin!

This is my path:

 

C:\Program Files\HyperSpin\Media\Nintendo Game Boy Advance\Media\Bezels

 

Inside here I have the three bezel files.  Doesn't work.  I just don't get it.  I've done everything, not sure what else is left to try.

[gigapig]

It doesn't work and probably never will because your install is very wrong. HyperLaunch or RocketLauncher and the media files related to HyperLaunch/RocketLauncher need to be separate from HyperSpin media. 

 

So you need to fix the folder structure and make sure HyperLaunch/ RocketLauncher is in it's own folder. Perhaps you can download RL and install it and move over the required files.

I followed Austin's path exactly (stated above)... that's the reason I changed it... to follow what he wrote.

I will follow your advice and see if that does the trick. Thank you : )

Did you try ...Hyperspin\Media\Game Boy Advance\Bezels\Nintendo Game Boy Advance\_Default

[Rotgut]

Did you try ...Hyperspin\Media\Game Boy Advance\Bezels\Nintendo Game Boy Advance\_Default

No... but I will! Crossing my fingers! I'll let you know what happens...

[Rotgut]

Did you try ...Hyperspin\Media\Game Boy Advance\Bezels\Nintendo Game Boy Advance\_Default

Hey, Gigapig - is the "-Default" you typed there a folder name and THEN the files go in there? Or is that the name of the bezel file (png) itself? And then the bezel ini file has to go in there too, right?

[Rotgut]

I wanted to let you know that I finally managed to get the Bezel to show up. Thank you for all of the help that you guys gave me. You guys are awesome, thank you again.

[gigapig]

Could you divulge the solution?

[Rotgut]

Could you divulge the solution?

I will copy > paste the path here tonight. I'm not at my computer right now.

[Rotgut]

This was/is the path

C:\Program Files\HyperSpin\Media\Bezels\Nintendo Game Boy Advance

In there I have a _Default folder with the default bezel files... and now I am making custom bezels for specific games and adding those as well.

Looks like you have the HyperLaunch and HyperSpin folders merged, which, to Gig's point, is quite messy. Glad you got it working, but I hope it won't cause issues for you later.
