    I have configured all the games that have a custom overlay in this thread and they look terrific.
    I would love to have a specific overlay for some other of my favourites (let's say Street Fighter II CE, The king of dragons, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, ...) but I understand that this is an ongoing work and I thank you all guys for that.
    I am aware that not all games share the same screen display resolution, but it looks to me that a good number of them are 4:3 horizontal, and for those it would be great to have some overlay in the meantime.
    I am no artist, but I will try to do something and share it inspired in pictures like this

      @mindel Nice picture, concept understood. Not an easy task btw :-)
      Will see what I can do. Can't promise anything in terms of timing.
      SF II CE is now on my to do list...

          Yet another classic now available: Scramble

          The artwork is so gorgeus & colorful !!
          I fear I'll have to make the scale integer overlay too someday... all that nice artwork cannot fit in the sidebars.

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

              @mindel There cannot be a single "universal" generic overlay as depending from the game the actual game area is different. Most arcade classics of the 80's do use same area but others don't. Also there's vertical and horizontal.
              That said I could create a limited set of "generic overlays" if there's enough demand for.

              Feedback required for what games (screen area size "family") they should target.
              Suggestions on how graphically you'd like them also welcome.

              Seeing what you can do, I'm totally IN for a set of generic overlays ! Also, could that be done for other systems for which overlays would all be the same sizes no matter the games ? Like for Atari, NES, NEO GEO... ?

              Edit 2: With same format, without taking screen space on top and bottom :)

              Can't wait for the Street Fighter 2 CE overlay ;) Keep up the good work ?

                @UDb23 I'm trying to find time to work on our automated way to install those amazing overlays. I can't promise a release date but I'm taking the first steps.

                I would like to ask you to avoid to put any "regular" file in the repository root directory, only directories (just keep what is being done currently). The README.md file is OK.

                The reason is that I don't want to force the users to download every single file in the repository with a git clone (even the unwanted overlays). And to avoid it I'm taking the list of the files in the root directory of the repository...

                    @Nataq as long as the system is a libretro core (and therefore supports these overlays) it can be done. I have to update my to-do list ;-)

                          Elevator Action (Taito) now available.
                          It was quite tough to get clean logo and graphics out of the original arcade game flyer.

                          Concerning clones, as discussed here, it includes CFGs for both roms supported by lr-mame2003:
                          elevator and elevatob (clone).

                          I got no time to test the overlay on the Pi, so it'd be nice if somebody could confirm everything is ok.
