Top requested arcade games for overlays

@UDb23 said in Top 10 requested arcade games for overlays:
@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.
Ahhh yes yes astro invader and also astro blaster was a good one

Lunar Rescue Artwork pack added to Repository (files edited/renamed to follow naming convention).
Launch and ES detail view images also included.

@meleu done.

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.
-
Astro Blaster also added to Overlay Repository.

Sweet you did me a solid on that one!
-
@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. -
@meleu said in Top 10 requested arcade games for overlays:
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.
-
City Connection and Pang now also in the Overlay Repo.
-
With Vanguard, Metal Slug 2, The Simpsons, Athena, Aliens and Scion,
Overlays Repo now contains all so far available overlays. -

@meleu thanks. fixed. Uploading lots of stuff and little time... ;-)
-
@UDb23 It's good to see the repo very populated! :-)
I'll try to work on the script soon! Thanks for all your artwork! -
Nr. 11 - Phoenix
Based on original cabinet side art.

Concerning Asteroids, the only one missing from the Poll list, the best core to play is AdvanceMame as it supports line drawing in full 1080p resolution.
This means there's no need (almost no space) for an overlay.
On the other hand it's nice to add a background as explained by @caver01 (thanks!) in his thread on how to make arcade vector games look their best.
