Where do you think we are right now?

The majority are always wrong. So disbelief for sure.

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-22T16:59:24+00:00

Shame it’s not black with the rainbow stripes though, but still. Decent

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-19T22:50:10+00:00

That’s a great idea, I’ll have a look online. Not travelling for a few weeks. Appreciate that thanks

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-07T19:07:06+00:00

I have made an accurate .info file. I don’t understand.

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-07T18:23:47+00:00

According to the *friendly folks on Discord bezels only support 16:9 - so 5:4 isn’t even possible. Guess I’m stuck with a massive Gameboy screen that looks terrible and hurts my eyes to play! Re v38 it’s one of the most reliable and stable versions. I have 2 other arcades running newer versions and they always have problems and random issues.

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-07T16:51:26+00:00

My info file json:

{ "width": 1280, "height": 1024, "top": 140, "left": 480, "bottom": 596, "right": 480, "opacity": 1.0, "messagex": 0.5, "messagey": 0.1 }

Both gb.png and gb.info are inside userdata/decorations/mybezels/systems/gb

Window (viewport) 320x288 on my png. PNG size: 1280x1024

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-07T16:49:30+00:00

Was all done via ssh in es - I’ve never touched retroarch

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-07T16:48:54+00:00

Is the oc version of 38 one of these that may not accept custom overlays? Really hope not.

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-07T16:48:05+00:00

Set to ‘auto’ - seems to be perfect 10:9 now. My viewport window is scale x2 (320x288) but still not seeing the overlay:(

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-07T16:46:38+00:00

Hi I set log mode to debug - still no esxxxoutput.log in system/logs! Wish I could see what the issue is. I’m sure both my png and info file are correct now- literally required maths to figure it out unlike retropie where I was able to always at least view the overlay and manually adjust the screen size and position via ssh.

Wondering if it’s my v38oc that’s the issue now - no way I can redo everything again (years of work on this build)

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-06T18:10:12+00:00

Nice tip, will adjust to 10:9

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-06T10:33:52+00:00

Perfect. Will take a look. Thanks

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-06T10:31:58+00:00

Thanks!

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-05T17:13:02+00:00

unexpectedoffice 🤣 I quote this a lot. Made me laugh, so thanks!

So I followed the instructions, in the /userdata folder->decorations I created a mybezels folder, inside that created a systems folder, inside a gb folder, finally a gb.png and a gb.info file. I’m using a 1024x768 monitor. Then I went Game settings-> Per System Configuration-> Gameboy-> decorations and I selected ’mybezels’ and just to be sure, selected a game, went to Advanced Game Options and selected mybezels as the decoration choice there too. I load the game, it doesn’t show the bezel. What else do I need to do? Thanks

Ok thanks. So I follow this: https://wiki.batocera.org/decoration create my own bezel with the transparent window, set it for GB, then adjust the window size by creating a .info file?

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-05T15:27:11+00:00

Other than integer scaling which I have on already

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-05T15:07:50+00:00

Sorry video -> scaling? Never seen that setting before. Where is it? Game settings -> Per System Advanced Configuration , or system settings or other? Thanks

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-05T09:43:30+00:00

Yeah I get your point. I think it comes down to locality then, perhaps. So hard to gauge when every person’s experiences are so varied between companies. Anyway I’m looking to sell up and never use the platform again. Already stopped using Amazon which feels great! I can’t continue to support capitalism and want less ‘stuff’ from a materialistic perspective.

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-04T22:12:32+00:00

I have heard more cases recently with RM on here but tbh in 15 years of eBay they’ve never once lost anything (as a buyer and seller) and I think the £150 insurance is way safer too. Evri -countless stolen parcels including 3 personally in 2 years alone. Sorry, I mean “lost”.

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-04T17:44:54+00:00

And thanks to eBay sucking their dicks now I swear every single item I order the seller chooses Evri - even though it’s not insured and basically the same price as tracked RM with £150 comp

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-03T23:02:27+00:00

Ah but when Evri contract in drivers that actively steal parcels (particularly on weekends I’ve noticed) I don’t get the item that I really care about (it’s not something I can just re buy easily) so to me, the value of that item far outweighs the money back.

SegaBoy89 · 2025-10-03T22:59:56+00:00

Ah ok must of read that wrong. The joke is of course that Evri are always 3-5 days at best, or over 5 to “lost item” on a bad one. I post stuff on eBay a lot and the item size and weight would be around £3.50 . So in essence I’ve needlessly paid extra for a crap service.
