Question about bezel size

[thenoob]

I’ve ported my Hyperspin setup over to my android nvidia shield

Just bought a new 55” 4k tv.  I’m running my Retroarch mame core in 4:3

the bezels shrunk the gameplay so much!

can I get some advice as to which size bezels would work better for the large tv? 16:9? Is that more common with bigger tv’s? I love 4:3 on the tv without bezels, the size was great! But the play area shrunk 1/2.

any advice to a proper set or advice would be great to properly utilize the bigger screen would be great!

thanks in advance

16:9 bezels from @Metalzoic's pack will be what you're looking for, in the short term. Be aware that some artwork will be cut off; this is as designed since the pack is focused on maximizing the game display area.

You'll find them on the emumovies FTP. Do a quick search in these forums for the thread with more info.

That pack loses the screen bezel it not used with RocketLauncher iirc.

there is a RetroArch specific set that one of our Android users made. Let me go find a link. May work out better for you. Although it’s never gonna be perfect on android.

This is based off the Metalzoic pack

mega link still working also

Hmmm not working for me

ive got it in said location on the shield , RA/system/mame2010/artwork.

do the cfg files go somewhere else?

when I enable the overlay inside the core I get a gamepad overlay

tha ks for all the help!!

[thatman84]

So for each game you need to load up the game.

Enable overlay

Then where it says "retropad.cfg" you then browse to the overlay needed for that game. Example 3countb.cfg

Then go into quick menu and save game override.

Rinse and repeat

Or I have a batch text file maker post in the android forum you could use to make the game overrides. Then copy those into retroarch/config/mame2010

[thenoob]

Ahhhh gotcha

so there’s no problem having all the files together, but it won’t load the overlay automatically? There’s no certain file structure to have the overlay load automatically ?

So if I understand, you have to manually select each one when you load the game?

I appreciate the help 

[thenoob]

I will look at that batch file you mention, is it easy to use?

[thatman84]

You got it all right. There is no auto load feature. There is a bounty for a new overlay feature specific to bezels. I will suggest that is added.

 

The batch is easy yes.
