Henderson33 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hi, I downloaded some overlays for retroarch. I know you can choose save per core but I use the same core for game boy and game boy colour. Is there a way that u can save per system so I can have a different overlay for game boy then I do for game boy color? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reznnate Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Not without using a different core Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatman84 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 No way round it, unless you want to recompile the core and change all the references to that core name to something else. I don't have a clue how that is done. if you really don't want to use a different core you could look into hotkeys. I think some shaders have overlays(not sure about game boy) you can set a hotkey to next shader preset. So you load the game then press a button and it could change to your next preset shader with a different border. Not done it myself but something to look at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henderson33 Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Well then does anyone have a Nintendo and a Sega overlay. One that can be used for all systems from each company? Instead of separate ones like Genesis and master system. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henderson33 Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 I went to directory and changed overlays dir to where my overlays are, I then went to input and hot keys and there is a option to set a key to change to next overlay. But it doesn't work has anyone set this up? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatman84 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Reznate Have benn meaning to ask if you know if hyperspin could use android intents to call a specific cfg file to get around this problem with system settings. Maybe within the parameters = one. I'm guessing this is probably not a user adjustable feature? Similar to the arc browser CONFIGFILE extras option just one step further.

Is there a way that u can save per system so I can have a different overlay for game boy then I do for game boy color? Thank you I had a play around with this today. Got the overlay next button to work!!!! You have to create a cfg file to go with you overlay png files. I done this for gameboy (gb.png) and gameboy color (gbc.png) and created the gb.cfg pointed the overlay preset option to that gb.cfg setup the overlay next hotkey All works but you will have to set your screen size to fit in both overlays Download is here (with overlays included) cfg file overlays = 2 overlay0_overlay = gb.png overlay1_overlay = gbc.png overlay1_name = "Gameboy_Color" overlay0_full_screen = true overlay1_full_screen = true overlay0_descs = 1 overlay0_desc0 = "overlay_next,400,460,rect,40,20" overlay0_desc0_next_target = "Gameboy_Color" overlay1_descs = 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henderson33 Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Great stuff. thank you Im guessing its possible to do the same with other systems using the same core too then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatman84 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Yeah I guess so, Just edit that cfg file Maybe sega will be the next on I come across just increase the number of overlays at the start and copy the lines to suit. I just copied over some more sega system roms so will give it a go soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a little vid https://youtu.be/JONmjC_pIp4 Cool just glad I helped Just curious as don't use external storage. Can you change your content directory (file browser directory) to your roms folder? it would save a few button presses. As when you go to load content it will open straight to your roms folder.
