This Drives Me Nuts!
I strayed from RetroArch for years, I hated the Interface Prior to Ps3 Ribbon.
When I tried an M1 MacMini a few years ago to test the Hype, I ended up Loving it and Trying to Figure out how to Run Everything PC Related, Quake III Arena in HD is SICK!
But these Damn Bezels Constantly give me the Runaround
I'll have to give this another attempt when I get home from work: I have liked the AppleTVs simplicity over the years,, Thanks to the EU we have RetroArch on AppleTV Now Too LOL
This Edit Tool Is KIller! Gonna have to try it

[@otggaming3180]

RetroArch is definitely an acquired taste and the learning curve is a pain. Hope the vid gives you the tools and know how to make a success of it :)

@@otggaming3180 I seem to have an Issue trying to figure out how to Edit Core Options Prior to Running a Game.
I've Scerwed something up with my PSP config, I'm going to end up ftp into in and delete the cfg file.
But none the less, I'm either Missing this or its not an option.

Hello, could you please share a link where I can download your Metroid overlay from clip starting at 0:35 and the SF2 one from 3:43? Thank you!

What about screen scaling in global settings, i have mine set to full in order for mega bezels to work. Thanks

[@otggaming3180]

That's what I keep mine at as well. I try to stick to overlays that will work with mega bezel such as the Orionsangel pack I mentioned. If I can't find an overlay to work with mega bezel, I will either modify an existing one or create my own.

[@AlexPerez-bd9nc]

@@otggaming3180 thanks for the tip

[@ericg1100]

I hate overlays, would much rather have black bars
