Problem with Bezels /Decuration Batocera 5.26 PC 64x

Gammelstulle

Hello, everyone,

Greetings. After a long run with recalbox a absolut rage out, (nothing worked (bugs over bugs…crashes… forum post, videos, all that could help -> mostly in french… awesome) So today I started to set up batocera on my small PC. (Lenovo M93p Tiny i5) First of all: I am really relieved how stable and clean Batocera runs. I’m almost annoyed that I didn’t start with batocera right away. Unfortunately I have my first problem here:

The overlays / buzels don’t work.The default overlays that batocera brings with it would be enough for me… Unfortunately Batocera ignores every choice I make. (also the shader i choose)

Doing I smething wrong?

I also tryed to set the overlay to one game, other systems… same issue 😭
I have tried (I didn’t know better previously ) to install overlays like in Recalbox -> i.e. via /cofing/retroarch/overlay. (With a picture and a config file) But I deleted everything after I noticed that Batocera is going aother way with overlays. (it did not work either).
Maybe I messed up something.

Should i make a clean isntall?

What is the resolution of your TV/Monitor?
As far as i know, Bezels only work with 1080p (1920×1080)

joinski My tv has 1080p

EDIT: Okey i startet now a fresh isntallation. something I must have done that batocera didn’t like. In the default games that batocera brings with the layouts are working fine. (That wasn’t any different to yesterday, I just forgot about it). Would nice to know what I did that caused this problem.

EDIT2: Also working by default with a radom snes rom i added. Lets try to dig in what of my cofiguration step caused this issue…

Maybe it realy was just to try the “old way” to install overlays ->As ni said I “mess areround” with the retroarch config files per system -> maybe that caused this issue (I tryed to install ther following overlay pack - https://github.com/gallyg/zover4recalbox )

EDIT 3 Okey. There is some issue with what i set up over batocera. Overlay working fine, but now i can’t set a shader.
Here my steps :

Sheet configuration steps Batocera

Keyboard are connected
-Setting up a generic USB Controller
added a Rom
Changed Sound to the right audio output (HDMI 1), restart.
Manuel install es-theme-alekfull-master ( https://github.com/jdorigao/es-theme-alekfull)
Change Theme to es-theme-alekfull-master
change language to german
Game Settings -> Shader (Global)-> Retro
UI Settings - Transition Style - Instand
removed the setting that the collection “all games” showing up.
-Restart
Seems that the retro shader is ignored.
Set Retro Shader directly for SNES ( Option Menue System)
- Still ignored
Set Retro Shader for a Game
- Still ignored
Switch decoration for the System (Snes -> AMBIANCE_2)
- Working
Switch back decoration to “Auto” set shader to “scan line”
- decoration worked, still no shader are loaded.
Restart
Shader will not load.
Now it would be nice to know in wish .conf batocera write my changes.

EDIT 4:

I’m not sure, but it seems that the theme I’m using causes this problems. After switching to the default theme and restarting Batocera the shaders are loaded. Can this be?…

Could some Mod move my Post to “standard-desktop-laptop-64-bits” would be nice

EDIT 5 : I think my problem has several interdependencies that collide. I get it fixed (with a pre configurated build, not on my own, but hey it works. For now I have overlays, so for me the problem is solved for now.
