      @UDb23 @quicksilver - My wife let me interrupt her show and do a quick test during a commercial break. It's works good. Meleu's menu is incredibly quick for testing.

      @quicksilver - I still use your Quake stress test when overclocking. It's become my go to for stability testing now. :)

        @Riverstorm Thats great to hear. I am still in the process of getting my setup switched over to retropie 4.4 so I havent had a chance to check out the overlay yet. I am upgrading my pi3b to a 3b+ and it should be coming tomorrow so I am definitely running some quake 3 stress testing in the near future :)

              @UDb23 Any idea why I am getting a black screen while using your missile command overlay? I can see the overlay and I can hear the game audio but game-play area is black. Tested without the overlay and the game works fine.

                  Seems one of the cfg files was messed up.
                  Can you try again now ?

                    That's weird I have no problems at all. I'm pretty sure I tried before you changed the cfg file.

                      @Brigane it was setting specific viewport for 1080p. Worked fine on my tv too;maybe he has a different resolution screen. Updated cfg relies on core provided game area instead of fixing coordinates.

                        @UDb23 My Tv is 1080p. Ill have to check if I messed with the video out settings. Nonetheless thanks for fixing it!

                            @UDb23 so I updated and downloaded it again but the problem persists. I checked and video mode is set to 1080p. Do I need to delete the old one before downloading the new one?

                              @quicksilver no reason to delete. But just to be sure try deleting. Still same problem of game area covered?
                              Are the other overlays working ?

                                @UDb23 every other one I have tested has worked fine. It's just this one (so far) that I noticed didn't work right. When I'm next by my pi I will remove the overlay and replace and see if that helps and report back.

                                Edit: deleting the zip.cfg and then reinstalling took care of the issue

                                  @quicksilver glad it solved. I just reinstalled on my Pi and it worked fine.

                                    First off wonderful job on these overlays! Definitely the best that there is available!

                                    Could we get Act-fancer added to the queue of overlays to be added?
                                    Thanks!

                                      There's not much artwork I could find for this "Giger/Alien like" shmup: just the JP flyer and an australian marquee. Do you have any additional ?

                                        @UDb23 I found the flyer and Marquee that you did and then an instructional poster and a 4k overlay that someone else made

                                          @Ronoh55 The instructions are the back of the flyer. The overlay is freely based on the marque art.
                                          Anyway, let me give it a try; you'll get a Retropie overlay.

                                            New overlay: Gorf

                                            Next step is making the right side work with lamps (specific rank gets illuminated) using Mame artwork's features of mame2003plus.
