      @greenhawk84 Nice. Turtles fans now have quite of a choice.

          Anyone know how to get these to work with the scanlines and everything, they seem to be popular on PC-Mame (I think Pi3 would choke though):

            @udb23 Love your work and this thread. I want to start making some overlays myself. For 1080p overlays is there any base template you use?

              @mrjordaaany With lr-mame and lr-fba most games have the same specific standard game area resolution @ 1080p. Of course it also depends if you want the game area to stretch to the 1080 height or "integer scale" the original game resolution.
              What program would you use ?
              I use basic templates for horizontal and vertical games in made, in SVG format.

                Anyone want to try out Final Fight (preferably with integer scaling to fit more art)?

                  @greenhawk84 nice overlay!
                  Unfortunately no time this week to test on Pi.

                    @udb23 No this is a scan of the original that would fit in an original cabinet. This would not work with a Pi. I would use this for sampling and creating a 16:9 bezel.

                      @udb23 I use whatever I need to use. GIMP, photoshop, paint.net, etc. I would really appreciate if you can share the templates with me :)

                                Templates now available here as vector (svg) and bitmap (png) for libretro @1080p, standard options, scale integer off (lr-mame2003, lr-fba).
                                PNGs include transparent game area. Side bars in solid color so they are easy to select and replace. Small borders included.

                                    And here's another new overlay ready for a great Classic: AMIDAR.

                                      @UDb23 I see this thread hasn't been posted in for a few months. Are you using a different thread when discussing Overlays?

                                      I've been adding overlays and noticed mspacman.cfg had an incorrect name to the png.

                                      Also simbz23 had a few errors I think it was dkong3 and dkongjr. They had -edit in the .cfg file or the png name. They were both part of the Donkey Kong ROMS but I believe it was those two.

                                        More details on errors. They prevent the overlays from loading.

                                        mspacman.cfg (This might be an old entry I have)
                                        overlay0_overlay = "mspac_udb-ovl.png"
                                        png:
                                        mspacman_udb-ovl.png

                                        dkong3.cfg:
                                        overlay0_overlay = "dkong3_simbz23_edit-ovl.png"
                                        png:
                                        dkong3_simbz23-ovl.png

                                        dkongjr:
                                        overlay0_overlay = "dkongjr_simbz23_edit-ovl.png"
                                        png:
                                        dkongjr_simbz23-ovl.png

                                            In this thread I include only those overlays that are (or can) be considered real classic arcade games.
                                            There are of course other new overlays I made meanwhile. Usually post them in separate threads for each one.
                                            You can do a search for "New Overlay"; some results here.
