Metal Slug 2 overlay for lr-mame2003 (and lr-fbalpha)

UDb23

Just made a "sidebars only" overlay for Metal Slug 2.

Adapted good quality original arcade flyer and panel graphics to fit the sides.

If anybody interested I can provide the actual overlay image and cfg files for lr-mame2003.

@UDb23 man! I would love to see an overlay with the movements of the popular fighting games (The King of Fighters, Marvel vs. Capcom, Street Fighter III, etc...) It would be amazing!

UDb23

@meleu You mean overlay showing the key combos for different moves or graphics of the main characters doing moves?

@UDb23 This kind of content:

@meleu I see; that's a lot of information to fit on the display . Not sure there's enough space on screen; maybe it can be done reducing the game area a little bit and/or showing only some selected fighters.
I'll have a look into it and let you know.

meleu

@UDb23 yeah, maybe it won't be very trivial to do for The King of Fighters, due to the big number of characters.
If you let me choose another game, I would ask for a Marvel vs Capcom move list overlay. It has 15 characters.

@meleu received. You May get an overlay for Christmas ;-)

meleu

@UDb23 Do you have the package with the image and configs for this overlay?

UDb23

@meleu Can package them, sure. Over the weekend.

@meleu Here's the Metal Slug2 overlay + usual cfgs for download.
I updated the overlay image as I meanwhile found better quality artwork; also recreated the NEOGEO logo that was on the original mslug2 arcade control panel.

meleu

@UDb23 I'm used to play neogeo games with lr-fbalpha, and this overlay works just fine with it. Maybe it's worth to mention on the first post of this thread. ;-)

UDb23

@meleu That's valuable info !
These overlays should work with any libretro mame emulator but I wasn't sure if aspect ratio, and therefore actual game area size in pixels, is exactly the same in every libretro mame core.
I didn't test with lr fba ... so thanks for your help!

@UDb23 Thanks once again. I am going to gobble up everyone of these you make.

@UDb23
Just wanted to say thank you for the overlays.
I use the Metal Slug 2 and Marvel vs Capcom overlay with the lr-fbalpha core and it works like a charm. Looks very nice.
Please keep up the good work.
Is there some sort of listing of overlays you have done thus far?

I tried to put these files here, but I've been busy and it's not up to date. I'm planning to put it all there.

UDb23

@FlyingTomahawk Glad you like 'em.
You're right I should start keeping a "global" list with a dedicated thread, like I do for the "Custom logos pack".
Will start soon.

As @meleu said there's also his repository where he kindly keeps track of the overlays.
