I am sure they take both time and know how to do.

Absolutely. Overlays mostly made from scratch starting from original flyers and cabinet artwork.
It requires extensive research on the web, fixing, composing and editing the image to best fit Lr-mame actual game area(s).
Not forgetting often required vectorizing work.
This means hours.

Part of it is my fault, I won't release an overlay unless it's top quality (to me).
:-)
It still is fun and even "challenging": otherwise I wouldn't do it.

Well I do hope it stays fun and challenging for you so we can keep reaping the benefits. In any case thanks for making our games look so much better. Also as I said please take what time you need we can wait.

Thank you @UDb23 for these awesome overlays! I haven't tired the Donkey Kong one yet but the Pac-Man has got to be my favorite so far on this thread!

@UDb23 Great job as usual! You should create a project on GitHub for all of these overlays.

UDb23

@jdrassa Thanks.
And your're right about Github; that will be the next step once I reach a significant number of overlays.

Awesome overlays dude. Got my cab pretty much set up now and these look fantastic. Thanks!

UDb23

@jozzy1 thanks. Don't forget sharing some pics of your cab!

@UDb23 Do you have a page where all of your overlays are?

UDb23

@swaggers Not so far. You can search this forum for "overlays" or check my posts.
I'll create a specifc thread with all of them as soon as I finish these top10.
