        @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.

              Systems: Raspberry Pi 0/2/3 Model B+
              Os: RetroPie 4.5
              Frontend: Emulationstation & Attract Mode

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

                                          Marquee fully restored & vectorized (long work...) this one is complete while most images have top and/or bottom cutout.
