                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 :)

                        Lunar Rescue Artwork pack added to Repository (files edited/renamed to follow naming convention).

                        Launch and ES detail view images also included.

                          @UDb23 if you merge the @jdorion PR I can fix the Space Invaders filenames. ;-)

                              Wow ! Just what I've been looking for. Awesome work here ! Fits people that have built an arcade cabinet like me without losing valuable screen space (TVs in arcade cabinet canot go much bigger than around 28").

                              Well it hasn't been asked yet but I'm sure a "Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition" overlay would be extremely popular ! Here is my vote for what it's worth ! Keep em coming anyway ! I plan to use them all (after figuring how hehe).

                                Ho, I see the cfg files for those overlays are pre-configured for 1080p screens... I guess I will run into problems if my screen native resolution is 1366x768 ? Would you know how to adjust easily or each overlay would be different ? Thanks in advance.

                                  I also have an older TV that runs RetroPie in 1366x768 and these overlays look great without any editing!

                                    @backstander Good to know. As cfg tells to use full screen I think what happens is that overlay image is reduced by libretro to fit.

                                          @mviars I made it months ago and noticed you mentioned it.
                                          One of the reasons of the Repository is to have them all in one place and make it easy for people to see all that are available instead of having the overlays spread in different threads.
                                          Will place all my already available overlays there soon.

                                            Subfolders of the specific game folder called "Option x" (x is num of the optional overlay) ?

                                            I'm OK with this convention. ;-)

                                            Burning Force Artwork pack "converted" to new naming. First case with additonal "Option 1" folder.
