      @edmaul69 consider making them installable via rpie-art.

      ;-)

        @meleu the only issue i have with having it in some installer is that i have to use config files to reposition the games screen to the left.

          @edmaul69 oh... I thought you were about to provide the config file as well...
          Like @UDb23 does in his rpie-ovl repo.

            @meleu i was planning on releasing the configs. If that is possible to do with the overlays on github, i will need to figure out how to do it. I was kind of lost and confused by the last link you gave me though. I have 33 of the 52 overlays done so i will be completely finished in a couple days.

                          @jozzy1 i have them finished. I need to send the finished version to my two involuntary testers :) with the mame configs included. Then hopefully i can figure out how to get it correctly listed on github, then you should hopefully be able to get it through retropie somehow.

                            @edmaul69 hey bro, I got the email. They are supposed to be used with actual NES roms/emulator, right?

                              @edmaul69 They don't look fine on my test screen (1366x768):
                              0_1499676771262_pc10overlay-castlevania.png

                              It's obviously caused by the lines

                              custom_viewport_width = "1411"
                              custom_viewport_height = "1080"
                              

                              in the config file.

                              Maybe @UDb23 could help here: how can I put the game screen on the left without hardcoding the viewport width/height?

                              @edmaul69 after solving this issue about resolutions, etc. all you need to do to make your overlays installable via rpie-art is described here:

                                @meleu i had been designing them based on a 1080 resolution. have you had any issues using overlays made for 1080 before? I actually couldnt get the game image to appear without setting the custom viewport x & y due to the need to moving the image to the left. If i can figure out how to do that then it might work with other resolutions.

                                  It would definitely be ideal if they could be used at any resolution. I'm running at 1080 here. I'll test some this evening for comparison.

                                    @mediamogul if someone knows how to position the game images position x to 0 or 1 without custom viewport then it should work on something other than 1080

                                      @meleu how is the quality of the overlay on your resolution. With each pixel in my overlay being a 2x2 i cant picture it looking good on anything other than 1080.

                                        @mediamogul i sent you a much updated set.

                                        i changed the blue fonts to a brighter blue since the original is impossible to read.
