Hello.

what reshade function did you use? Overlay places the image over everything else generally. How did you get it to display behind?

Hello BahamianKing242 and Yugacurry.

Here you have a tutorial, this is what I did:

First, install Reshade, here:
https://reshade.me/


Then search your Mugen.exe:


Then choose your Appi:



And here is the important choice:


And only activate this:


After that just finish the installation.

Then inside you Mugen folder you´ll see this carpet:


Inside there are two carpets:


Choose "Textures" and here It is the image that you have to edit,  look for "Overlay":




That is the image that you have to edit, that depends of your localcoord that you use, in my case 640x480, so I just edit the corners ,here the example:


Mugen.cfg:
In the Video config I have these options:

* If you want to test this make a backup just in case.

;========================================================;
;========================================================;

[Video]
 ;Screen rendering mode.
 ;OpenGL - Experimental OpenGL renderer (recommended)
 ;System - default SDL rendering mode (e.g. windib in Windows)
 ;DirectX - DirectX 5 renderer
 ;System and DirectX modes do not support advanced features
 ;such as RGB sprites and window resizing.
RenderMode = OpenGL
SafeMode = 0
Width = 640
Height = 480
Depth = 32
VRetrace = 0
FullScreen = 0
Resizable = 1
KeepAspect = 1
BlitMode = Normal
StageFit = 1
SystemFit = 1

;========================================================;
;========================================================;

Once you start your Mugen just enable Reshade by pressing "home" (O "Inicio" en español):


And activate "Overlay", that´s all:


;=======================================================================;

Here you have a template for 640x480:

* Use Photoshop to edit these images.

;=======================================================================;


Some examples:






I´m still testing this, but this is basically what I did. I hope you can enjoy it, too.

Ah so you cut out the rest and keep the sides. Got it. I use reshade already for many years now but never thought of this.

Same here my friend, it occurred to me yesterday.

Another example:


Now we can forget of the black frames and add our own designs and make something similar to the official games:

There are a lot of aliasing options like FXAA, SMAA and others. They will remove jaggies at the cost of clarity. There's also CRT options but overall I'd say use as few effects as possible. True HD is only possible by redrawing sprites and reshade wont help much with it. You can get the old skool monitor crt look though and that suits pixel graphics better.

By the way, this works on MAME, too:
