      After spending some time grabbing overlays here and there, I have regrouped them into an easily-installed compilation : https://github.com/cosmo0/retropie-overlays

      All systems should be covered (except the ones without a Libretro emulator, of course), sometimes with a "generic" overlay. Let me know if you find any problem.

      To install, just download the latest release for the pack you're interested in, and copy/paste at the appropriate places.

      Most of the overlays come from either ScreenScraper, OrionsAngel, MezzB or Duimon. Go thank these people if you like these packs.
      See full credits here.

      There are 2 available packs at the moment:

      An overlay pack with CRT "curvature effect" shaders applied.
      shader overlay

      An integer-scaled overlay pack with the scanlines included in the overlay.
      shader overlay

        New release with new overlays!

        https://github.com/cosmo0/retropie-overlays/releases/tag/v1.2

        New system overlays in the "shaders" pack:

        • Panasonic 3DO
        • Atari 5200
        • Atari Jaguar
        • Coleco ColecoVision
        • Mattel IntelliVision
        • Sega Saturn

        There are also PSD files for Playstation 2 and Gamecube in _sources/systems-custom/, but since they don't work at all on a Raspberry Pi, I did not create the overlay config (it should be easy to do, should you want to).

          As per @cloudlink request, here is a "realistic" overlay for consoles :

          Add this to your retroarch.cfg file at each system folder in the configs shared folder:

          input_overlay = /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/systems/generic_old_crt.cfg
          custom_viewport_width = 994
          custom_viewport_height = 758
          custom_viewport_x = 318
          custom_viewport_y = 136
          aspect_ratio_index = 22
          video_force_aspect = true
          input_overlay_opacity = 1
          video_shader = /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/shaders/crt-pi-curvature.glslp
          video_shader_enable = true
          

          Create a generic_old_crt.cfg file: open the configs shared folder, browse to all/retroarch/overlays/systems (you might need to create this last folder) and add the following lines:

          overlays = 1
          overlay0_overlay = generic_old_crt.png
          overlay0_full_screen = true
          overlay0_descs = 0
          

          Copy the following image alongside it and make sure it's named generic_old_crt.png:

          0_1526162038361_exodus_OLDCRT_DAY.png

            New release (after 2 years lol)

            https://github.com/cosmo0/retropie-overlays/releases/tag/v1.3

            Up to 64 systems (I cheat because some of them don't have - yet - Libretro emulators).

            Basically there is now an overlay for ALL Retropie systems.

                New release : v1.4

                https://github.com/cosmo0/retropie-overlays/releases/tag/v1.4

                Found out about Recalbox "complete" pack, so I grabbed a few more systems from there.

                • Adds a few systems: Atari 800, Atari ST, MSX1/2/Turbo, Odyssey2/Videopac, Supergrafx, Samcoupe, X1, ZX81. And also Apple 2 but the emulator is not Libretro, so it doesn't display it.
                • Changes Channel F & PCFX
