Adding the ultra realistic reflection Mega Bezel to MAME Libretro in Retroarch from Launchbox
7Video How-to: Adding Realistic Reflection Mega Bezel to MAME Libretro Core (MAME Version 139) in Retroarch via Launchbox.
In this video tutorial, You'll see me go through the process of enhancing the MAME emulator in Retroarch by adding the stunning Mega Bezel for a realistic reflection effect. While MAME's current Libretro core (ver 259) does have some unresolved issues (um, it doesn't work!), I recommend using the MAME2010 Libretro core as a temporary solution until a more permanent fix is introduced.
UPDATE: I was able to get the Mega Bezel to work on MAME 260!
I've deliberately excluded the artwork overlay in this tutorial to focus solely on the reflection effect from the monitor's edge. To demonstrate the walk-thru, I used the arcade game 'Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara'. You must have Vulkan selected as the primary emulation display within Retroarch to use Mega Bezel.
For comparison:
