      @meleu Your proposal is simple and effective, thanks.
      Next weekend I should be able to start on this ;-)

        nr. 10 now ready: TAPPER

        2 different overlays for you to download ;-)

        0_1486236462562_screenshot.jpg
        based on Budweiser ads (the one on the left is a famous one used around the same period of the arcade game)

        0_1486236695707_tapper_udb.jpg
        based on arcade cabinet artwork.

        What's you choice ?

        Note: lr-mame2010 is needed as the ROM does not work correctly with lr-mame2003.
        Have Fun!

          Created Burger Time overlay ( Nr. 8 in the poll).

          0_1486310717804_btime_screens.jpg

          As suggested by @meleu , with Burger Time I started loading the new overlays on Github.
          This is the repository.

          Will be moving also all existing overlays there as soon as I get time.

            This burgertime overlay may be my favorite yet.

                  @Floob has included overlays in his rp-video-manager:

                  There's a number of good ones in there!

                    Here's a link to folder in his project that contains all the arcade bezel overlays.

                      @jdorion Thanks. We are aware of that repository.
                      Goal is different: my overlays try to get maximum game area (or max scale integer) @ 1080p while the ones you mention aim to recreate "real" arcade feeling, including cabinet with reflexes and scratches (that implies smaller game area).

                          nr. 9: Dig Dug.

                          Entirely made with vectors (SVG), it's based on actual arcade bezel artwork and Atari's official arcade game Flyer.

                          0_1486754385743_digdug_udb.png

                          Download it here.

                            I have no time to fully test it now on raspberry, but it should be fine.
                            Volunteers welcome to install it and post an "in-game" pic here; thanks !

                                    @HurricaneFan How do you make the screen capture ?

                                      @UDb23 I use raspi2png to create the screenshot. So load up whatever you want a screenshot of, example I started the dig dug game. Then I ssh to the raspberry pi and type "raspi2png" in the command line and hit enter. Then I transfer that image back to my computer using SFTP.

                                        @UDb23 Is there a way for me to add your other overlays to your GitHub repository? So they are all in one place?

                                          @HurricaneFan Good to know that raspi2png works nicely with overlays.
                                          Concerning the repository it should be possible but Github is new to me; I have to check.
                                          Did you create additional overlays ?

                                          I suppose you need a github account anyway to allow you to access the repository.
                                          Edit: I misunderstood, you meant my overlays. Yes I will place all of them (old and new) there soon. Just need some free time.
                                          Please check naming conventions proposed by @meleu so that he can write some script in the future to install the overlays automatically.)
