      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.

              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 !

                        @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.)

                              @UDb23 Wow! I didn't noticed you created a repository! Good to know it!

                                @UDb23 By the way, you can use spaces in directory names (as we discussed above). Then Burger_Time should be Burger Time. ;-)

                                      @UDb23 said in Top 10 requested arcade games for overlays:

                                      Except that BurgerTime should not have a space in its name ;-) check here:

                                      Funny. Some of the marketing materials, cabinet art etc. use BurgerTime, but the owner's manual has a space. Oh well.

                                      My 4-player cocktail style cabinet built as a custom "roadcase"

                                        @caver01 Good Point. Renamed to BurgerTime (no space) as in the game marquee.

                                            @HurricaneFan You're lucky. It is already the next in list and almost finished. Will release today.
