Emulator Overlays

Overlays are only supported by libretro emulators

Standalone emulators installed via Paks do not support NextUI overlays.

NextUI looks for accompanying media for each emulator under the /Overlays/[System] folder. The System corresponds to the name of the Emu Pak specified in your Emulator folder name within parenthesis. In this folder you can add 5 overlay PNG files, named overlay1.png to overlay5.png.

For example:

# For /Roms/Game Boy Color (GBA)
/Overlays/GBA/overlay1.png
/Overlays/GBA/overlay2.png
/Overlays/GBA/overlay3.png
/Overlays/GBA/overlay4.png
/Overlays/GBA/overlay5.png

# For /Roms/Super Nintendo (SFC)
/Overlays/SFC/overlay1.png
/Overlays/SFC/overlay2.png
/Overlays/SFC/overlay3.png
/Overlays/SFC/overlay4.png
/Overlays/SFC/overlay5.png

When in game, hit the Menu button and navigate to Options -> Frontend. This will display an overlay setting to choose between overlay 1 to 5 or none.
