      @andrewh Cool! You guys rock! What about Donkey Kong 3? Will think of some more, definitely!

      I'm not really sure if your overlays are available for direct install with the rpie-art script?

        They are :-)

        If you have the latest version of the script, my repository is second in the list.

        I'll look into Donkey Kong 3 as soon as I get time.

            Not sure where to request bezels but I do remember this thread!

            How about POW?

              @greenhawk84 High-res scans of the artwork are available. Will have a look at this overlay.

                    Finalizing POW; also found and restored the marquee.
                    Updates soon.

                                For Varth, the overlay image names in info.txt don’t match the actual filenames.

                                  thanks; should be fixed now.

                                    @udb23 hey buddy. I've been playing the heck out of Robocop lately. Any chance for a nice overlay for that?

                                      I apologize that this is slightly off topic -- and I know that UDb23 already is aware -- but I feel I must mention there is now a RetroArch bounty fundraiser going on to add at least partial support for the native MAME artwork format (specifically bezels/backdrops/overlays). That support will open up a world of possibilities for sharing and creating new artwork (for arcade and console systems) as part of the well-established MAME and MESS artwork scene.

                                      This effort has been vetted by several RetroArch developers as viable and welcome as additions to the software. What is needed now is a coder to take on the project. To that end, donations are welcome. We have seen numerous examples of these bounties leading to bugfixes and new features, particularly when the bounty has input and approval from the lead RA developers.

                                        @markwkidd No reason to apologize!
                                        Having full artwork support in retroarch mame would be absolutely great.

                                        To all overlays users: if you can please contribute to that bounty to make it real. If you know a capable coder, please spread the word.

                                        l”m ready to create backdrops for the classics as soon as support will be there.

                                          @jozzy1 Robocop”s artwork is available at good resolution. Should be quite easy to create the overlay. Will have a try at it.
