Installation & Setup

Note

These directions are written for retro emulation handhelds. They should work on some consoles and PC handhelds as well, but certain steps may require some adapting for your particular device and RetroArch installation.

Prerequisites

• A device with a working RetroArch installation
• A microSD card reader

Directions

1. Download and extract the latest Covarr_Bezel-Bezels archive from the release page.
2. Insert your microSD card and copy the appropriate folder for your device's resolution to (Your Retroarch directory)\.retroarch\overlay. This will vary by device.
3. Put the microSD card into your device and start it up.
4. Launch a game for the system you wish to set up.
5. Open RetroArch's Quick Menu.
6. In RetroArch's Quick Menu, select On-Screen Overlay.
7. Select Overlay Preset and navigate to the Covarr_Bezel-Bezels folder.
8. Choose an appropriate config file for the system you are configuring.
9. Select Overlay Opacity and set it to 1.00. You can set the value lower if you'd like an overlay to be darker (especially handy with WonderSwan and other systems with very light bezels).
10. Press B twice to return first to the Quick Menu and then to the RetroArch main menu.
11. Select Settings, then select Video.
12. Select Scaling.
13. Scroll down to Aspect Ratio and press right until Custom is selected.
14. Set the appropriate numbers for position and width/height as provided in the System Presets chart below.
15. Press B twice to return to the main Settings menu, select Main Menu, then select Quick Menu.
16. Select Overrides, and then Save Content Directory Overrides.
17. If you wish to use shaders, continue to Optional Shader Configuration. Otherwise, repeat from step 4 onward for all desired systems.
