      @meleu For some games multiple overlays with different game area size can be available: sidebars only vs scale integer, as an example. These require not only different overlay image but also different cfg files. How do we manage these cases in the repository ? Subfolders of the specific game folder called "Option x" (x is num of the optional overlay) ?
      Subfolder files would then follow same naming convention as files in the game folder.

        I'm OK with this convention. ;-)

                        @UDb23 Thank you for all the hard work you're putting into these overlays. You are just about done with that top 11 list. Have you thought about what other arcade games you might make overlays for?

                                +1 for Elevator Action. It's a classic here in Brazil. :-)

                                    You know there is just a lot of great old arcade games. I am so glad we are able to play them like this. Having them on one device.

                                      @mviars I would make overlays for most of the requested games anyway, I like those classic games so much too. ;-)
                                      And yes, they are a lot !

                                      Consider also Gyruss, Astro invader, Silkworm and less known games like Crash (exidy ), The Speed Rumbler, Crush Roller (make trax).

                                      Just a matter of time and availability of original artwork.

                                          @UDb23, @meleu - I made a pull request on the overlays repo adding in 4 missing overlays that were in this thread! Please review and merge when you get a chance :)
