      Seems one of the cfg files was messed up.

      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 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
                              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.

                                      Noticed I haven't made an overlay for Galaxian !
                                      Can't miss as a classic.

                                          @UDb23 is it still possible to request 5:4 1280x1024 overlays from you?
                                          Yours is of absolute stellar quality, and for some reason I can't get other than yours to work properly.

                                            @AndersHP It is always nice to know they are appreciated. :-)

                                            Concerning 1280x1024, any specific request ? Have you checked these ?
