What do you use for Mame?

[shitoken]

Mame or Retroarch?

I am thinking of using applying overlays,  but when search on net everyone providing overlays only for retroarch / mame cores.

Don't we have overlays for MAME?

Overlays and Bezels are the same thing?

I use MAME. I don't use Retroarch foe anything at all anymore.

Some really old games use overlays which are run through MAME directly. Bezels can be MAME versions that run in MAME directly, or RocketLauncher versions which run through RL (which is probably what most of us use.

 

If by overlay you mean HLSL. GLSL type filters to make it look like a monitor or CRT screen, those you can use in both MAME and Retroarch.

I think he's talking about bezels as overlays.

@shitoken I use MAME for arcade games, and Retroarch for NES, GB, SNES, and Genesis. For all of the consoles I used RL bezels instead of RA overlays. The only exception to that is for GB, for which I used both (to achieve the effect I like).

Any PNG overlay you can find can be user with RL as a bezel, you just need to create a corresponding INI file for it.

Props for abstaining from RA.

I find something like this very attracting don't know if we should call this as bezel or overlay as ppl say this is overlay for RA.

I do have a lot of bezels on RL from here for use with MAME. But I get confused after seeing those with the name overlay.

I am use MAME with with CRT effects and RA for the rest as griffin bro mention.

If you're talking about the outer art and TV border that looks similar to the RL bezels Griffin makes and that are in my bezel pack. So if you're looking for that you could use them in RLauncher without messing with retroarch if you wanted. It also looks like they didn't bother to make the border of the game itself match to the inner borders of the bezel/overlay though so it looks a bit rough around the edges. And their GLSL effect seems really bloomed out.

Does your pack include Retroarch bezels/layouts?

No. It's a compilation of every widescreen (or works in widescreen) MAME bezel I could find from every creator I could find all made/converted to run from RocketLauncher.

I don't like RetroArch and don't use it.

Not to be negative, but I'm with you on this one. Thanks for all the bezel work.
