Auto Overlay tool – Anyone feeling reckless?

[Floob]

I put together a small script to easily apply overlays here:
https://github.com/biscuits99/rp-video-manager/

Its currently only supporting SNES, and its in beta. Very beta.

Anyone fancy trying it? It WILL overwrite any system specific settings you may have put in place in a retroarch.cfg.

It only supports RetroPie 3 beta 1 and above

This tool will enable this kind of thing:

cool! can this be used on both 720p and 1020p?

[Floob]

Well, the overlays are designed for 1080p – and the shaders for 720p.
But you could always try the overlays on a 720p and see if they look weird?

New version out v0.4

From your home directory (/home/pi)

wget https://github.com/biscuits99/rp-video-manager/releases/download/v0.4/rp-video-manager.zip
unzip -o rp-video-manager.zip
rm rp-video-manager.zip
cd /home/pi/rp-video-manager
chmod 755 videomode.sh
./videomode.sh

[InsecureSpike]

ok, floob, I’ve just installed v0.4. is there any way to convert the 1080p bits to 720p before i run it?

[Floob]

Hmm, you’re probably better of waiting for the next version that has a few 720p overlays already there.

You would need to delete the old rp-video-manager directory first.

cool! ok mate!
thanks

Thanks for the add Floob, if there are request for systems to be added please let me know here: https://github.com/israelperez/retro-gaming/issues

Also Floob the 2 TV sets 1980s and 1990s are for all systems that were from those eras. is it possible to reuse the same overlay and code or is it easier/better for me to separate them out into their individual systems?

[Floob]

Will do – thanks chito.

The generic TV sets have been added to the systems listed here:
https://github.com/israelperez/retro-gaming/blob/master/bevels-overlays/1920×1080/README.md

e.g. the 90s one states SNES and MD, so I added them there. Other users overlays have different viewport sizes for those 2, but I dont see an issue with how yours is, it doenst make that much difference.

So just shout if you want the same spec added to other systems.

[chito]

i only added settings for the systems i was familiar with. but the the tv sets were created so that they could be used with any 4:3 home console that used a tv broken up into their appropriate decades. ive had a look and found the following:

1980s tv set
————-
Atari 2600
Intellivision
Nintendo
sg-1000
Master system
TurboGrafx/PC engine
Atari 5200
VideoPac/Odyssey 2

1990s tv set
————-
genesis/megadrive (even though an 80s system)
Super Nintendo
sega cd
sega 32x
playstation
Nintendo 64
C64 Direct-to-TV
3do
Atari 7800
Atari Jaguar
Neogeo (console setting)
sega saturn
Dreamcast

please let me know if ive missed any or got any wrong. ill also update my readme file

[InsecureSpike]

hi floob, can this v1.0 be used to apply scaliness to non libretro systems?

[Floob]

Nope – I havent written anything yet for non-retroarch configs.

[InsecureSpike]

but could it be possible?

[Floob]

It would basically be amending the specific config file, which would mean overwriting existing settings – so most likely to be easier done on a manual basis.
