    @Brigane Good question. I'll try to make an update procedure.

    For now, you must clone the repository again...

        @UDb23 I hope to have time to work on the script next weekend. ;-)
        Small ToDo list:

        • auto update overlay's list
        • console system's overlays support
        • Useful topics
        • joystick-selection tool
        • rpie-art tool

          there's no hurry. It's a hobby.
          Already enough stressful things in life :-)

            @UDb23 said in Nice MAME2003 overlays repository:

            @Graboid Considering current folder structure and naming, and also taking into consideration future additional implementations, we could think of creating subfolders in each game directory (in the repository) for additional specific screen resolutions.
            I would keep the 1080p 16:9 in the actual game folder as it is the most common standard and add mentioned subfolders for other resolutions.
            In your case subfolder should be called RES_1280_1024.
            the RES_x_y naming should allow @meleu's script to identify additional available resolutions and manage selections accordingly.
            Files inside the subfolder should then follow current naming convention.

            OK the first hurdle is how to I create a subfolder? Only allows me to insert a file.

              @Graboid create a dumb file and name it directoryname/filename.extension, and the dir directoryname will be created. After adding your files you can delete filename.extension.

                  I tried, not sure what I did wrong, but no folder in the Space Invaders!

                    GBA generic overlay and GBA Game & Watch Gallery 4 uploaded to Repo.

                    I think I got these 2 overlays installed but I'm not sure how you make the video smaller to fit in the frame. Here's what I see:

                      @backstander Sorry, for some reason I messed up the cfg files. Viewport settings were missing!
                      Updated the files in the repo; please try now.

                      It should look like this:
                      alt text

                      Related to GBA there's also a custom logo for Emulation Station available.

                        Hey guys,

                        I'm working on the script right now and I'm facing problems with the clones .zip.cfg. So, for now multiple .zip.cfg files in the same directory is not allowed (otherwise they confuse the script).

                        I hope to release an improved script before wednesday.

                        Cheers!

                          I've made some Pull Requests in the repo, can you take a look there?

                          Finally implemented the very handy "Update" feature. Then, when @UDb23 add files to the repo, the update procedure will get them! (Thanks to @Brigane for pointing this necessity)

                          I've also made a ToDo list for the script in the repo issue tracker: https://github.com/UDb23/rpie-ovl/issues/14

                          Maybe we can use that as a script feature request.

                          Cheers!

                            Meanwhile I keep making overlays ;-)

                            BTW any wish for a specific one ? Just asking; I'm not committing I'll make it. :-D

                              First pull merged (directories); not sure what happened with the second (script); can you please check if everything has been merged ?

                                  Well, I was holding back myself from asking you to do an overlay for Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. :-)

                                  It's one of the most played by kids (and grownups too) when visiting my home.

                                    @meleu Edited To do list: "add clone support".
                                    I should already have good quality graphics for Cadillacs & Dinosaurs... so an overlay could arrive in Brazil next week ;-)
                                    Never played that game actually; so it's a good opportunity.
                                    Cheers.

                                        I tried using this process for the first time tonight and it didn't work for me. As a test, I tried to add 1941 and I get, "Failed to install overlay for these games: 1941".

                                        I have mame games in Arcade folder and mame-libretro folder and neither location allowed me to install the overlays using this script.

                                          @HurricaneFan please, delete your local repository and clone it again in order to get the new changes in the script and repository structure.

                                          Try again and let me know if you find any issue.

                                          FYI: the 1941 problem was due the clone .zip.cfg file (1941j.zip.cfg). This file was removed now.
