RetroArch Shaders Overlays & Boxart Easy Setup 2023

Do you play games via RetroArch? If so, you should most definitely be using shaders, overlays and adding boxart to make your setup look amazing! In this RetroArch setup tutorial I will show you how easy it is to start using all three of these RetroArch features.

As part of our ongoing RetroArch setup guide series, this video breaks down setting things up in these simple steps:

1) How to add box art to your playlist entries and what to do if a box art image can't be found for a particular game.

2) How to setup overlays in RetroArch, including a brief explanation of what they are and how they work.

3) How to load shader presets and what they actually do.

4) Bonus: How to use the awesome HyperSpaceMadness shader presets to make your retrogames look amazingly authentic!

UPDATE:
Thanks to user CyberLabStudio for clarifying the following steps outlined in this video.
The info is sourced directly from the HyperSpaceMadness Mega Bezel Shader thread: https://forums.libretro.com/t/mega-be...

1) The "Mega_Bezel_Community" folder created at 9:32 of the video has been deprecated. The folder should now be named "Mega_Bezel_Packs"

2) You will also need to confirm the following settings if you are using the Final Burn Neo or Swanstation Cores:

For Final Burn Neo
Quick Menu / Core Options / Vertical Mode / OFF
Do all of this before loading content

If your game is vertical set the Rotate CRT Tube parameter to 1. If it is now upside down set Flip Core Image Vertical and Horizontal to 1

Swanstation (and possibly other 3D cores):
Quick Menu / Core Options / Enhancement Settings / GPU Renderer / Vulkan (or GLCore if Vulkan is not available.)
