Overlays per rom folder?

[FlyingTomahawk]

I was wondering if it would be possible to have overlays based on rom folders.
For example I use lr-fbalpha for NeoGeo and Capcom games which again are separated in neogeo and cps rom folders. I want to have a generic overlay for NeoGeo and a generic overlay for Capcom. Now instead of creating a cfg. file for each rom is it possible to use one cfg file for all the roms within that folder?

@flyingtomahawk Yes that's possible. Just take a look at my sign for my NeoGeo generic overlays made by John Merrit.

Edit: Sorry answered to quickly. You can use the same overlay.png but every rom needs to have its own cfg pointing to that specific png file.

But do have a look at the python.py script in that thread to see how I did this for every NeoGeo games and the same for Fba and mame.

Thanks @Rion
So there is no way to avoid creating cfg files for each single game?

I think you can do it for NeoGeo because they have there own rom folder. Same way you setup a overlay for Nes, Snes and so on. But for Fba and Mame with different screen resolutionshot for many games and that's excluding the vertical games I don't think that's possible. But someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
