Some 1280x1024 Overlays

[AndrewH]

Inspired by @UDb23 and @meleu , I've created a repository to house some 1280x1024 overlays I've made for a couple of vertical arcade games that I play.

You can access it here : https://github.com/Andrew-H2O/RPie-1280-ovl

For the moment, you'd have to install the overlays manually (instructions provided), but I've requested the repository to be added to @meleu's rpi-art.sh script.

Without further ado, here's what's on offer;

1941

1942

Aero Fighters

Armed Police Batrider

Bombjack

Burger Time

Centipede

Commando

DoDonPachi

Dig Dug

Dimahoo

Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong Jr.

ESP Ra.De.

Frogger

Guwange

Mercs

Mr. Do

Pacman

Time Pilot

Time Pilot '84

Well done!!

@andrewh Great stuff.

[meleu]

@andrewh your repo has been added to the repo list of rpie-art. Thanks for your work.

Cheers.

[AndrewH]

Awesome! Thank you for the quick turnaround.

[meleu]

@andrewh I'm away from my retropie system currently (and will be for the next 14 days), and I didn't test the installation of the overlays from the new repo. It would be good to test installing/uninstalling some overlays with the script just to check if the info.txt files are OK.

We are using rpie-art with @UDb23 's repo for a good time and the script seems to be working fine. So, if the info.txt files in the new repo are correct, I believe everything will be fine.

[AndrewH]

@meleu ok - I did a couple of install / uninstall cycles. Discovered I had errors in the info.txt files for 1941 and 1942 that I've now corrected, so now everything works as expected.

Very nice ones!

I've had to manipulate the actual viewport slightly to get these to fit just right, but it's worth my effort as these really enhance the experience.

These are AWESOME - thank you for creating these!

[UDb23]

@andrewh Sent you a Pull request to include Q*bert and Gyruss I already made in 1280.
So users can find all 1280 ovls in one Repo.

Checking what other 1280 ovls I already made.

Thank you very much. On the subject of manipulating the viewport, I'd strongly suggest using @dankcushions excellent shader configurations. They'll set the viewport to the optimum size, not only for these overlays, but also for overall display quality for vertical games.

Thanks for that - they're now merged.

Just added Galaga - one of the 'to do list' items...

Awesome work!

[AndrewH]

Thanks.

I probably should have said in the first post that I'm open to suggestions - particularly if it gives me a chance to check out games I mightn't otherwise have discovered :-)

Last one for today - Pengo

Thanks. These are so awesome. Is there an easy way to convert these to 1080?
