      1. I downladed the overlays zip in retroarch, how do I unzip them and start using them?

      2. The NES Emulator accounts for overscan so Castlevania reads

      core
      layer
      nemy

      How can I fix this?

      1. How do I download/install other emulators? There's no emu folders for Dreamcast, Wonderswan, Intellivsion, and Coleco.

      I've gone as far as I can on these things with Google so it was time to ask.

      I'm running Retro pie 4.0 on a Raspberry Pi 3.

        Your first stop should be the Retropie Wiki. Most of your questions will be answered in there. Please read through it first.

          @markyh444 to be fair I don't think the wiki has anything on shaders/overlays yet (at least I haven't made any pages on it)

          But for the other issue it is answered on the wiki

          https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation#installing-additional-emulators--ports

          If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

          Also if you want a solution to your problems read this first: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

              Got it, I'll try that later.

              Still not sure what to do about overlays though.

                  @rbaker AH, thanks. I've resolved most of my issues. Once I finish adding roms to MAME I'm ready to scrape and add overlays.

                    @PopetheRevXXVIII which emulator are you using for nes? Fceumm cuts off on both sides on every game. Nestopia displays correctly.
