        You should create folders on Github "per system" and place overlay image, CFG files and info.txt

        I am not sure how to do Folders in Github but I agree.

          I am not sure how to do Folders in Github but I agree.

          For some reason GitHub doesn't allow you to have empty subfolders so you have to do a little trickery...just watch this video:

            so what artwork is this Puckman?

            First thanks for the request of making Puckman's bezel; searching for quality artwort for it I found out many versions were/are available.
            I already of course knew it is the original game and why out of Japan it was called PacMan
            :-D
            Game is the same but multiple cabinets with similar, but different, artwork were made for Puckman (being of course different from PacMan cabs too).
            Different marquees, sideart, bezel and Control panel.
            The original cab, on display at Namco's HQ, is the one I posted.
            As an example for marquees:
            0_1501260003142_puck low.jpg original

            0_1501260038974_puck_man_logo_by_ringostarr39-d9ti8sq.png "your" posted image cab's

            0_1501260099766_puckman.png Another version.

            More info here.

            The original cab, on display at Namco's HQ, is the one I posted.

            I now have collected some decent resolution pictures of the cab, original flyer and vector images (even if not fully "precise") from different sources.
            I will create vector versions of all the cab's artwork, sticking as much as possible to the real thing, including correct colors.
            The most challenging part being the marquee as I only found a slanted and not so much detailed photo of it.
            But that's the fun part: no "real" detailed vector of the Bezel and Marquee seem to exits... so far ;-)

                @udb23 Exciting!!

                My next target is Street Fighter 2 World Warriors. I want to be able to select the different versions and have different artwork for each.

                  Puckman overlay done (it took hours but quite happy with the result).

                    I uploaded the .cfg files to my repository. Can someone see if all is well?

                            @greenhawk84 I noticed there is no info.txt and files are not in a folder. Info.txt is mandatory, one per game as described by @meleu.

                                @meleu You already posted it in this thread (here); probably @GreenHawk84 missed it.

                                  Looks more like a Harry Potter thing. Wingardium Leviosa! :-)

                                    Not that much magic !

                                    It's just latin, basically meaning: "Repeating helps"

                                      @UDb23 @meleu Yes yes, I saw those tips. There is a learning curve for me at Github, but I'll see what I can do to get it looking more like UDb23's structure.

                                        make an overlay for Turtles in Time arcade?

                                        "Turtles in Time" overlay just made, right now, and available in the Repo:

                                        0_1501528857360_tmnt2_udb-ovl.png

                                        No time for checking image/installing it, so let me know if everything is ok (and if you like it of course).

                                        Tried to recreate the feel of the original Arcade sideart / Flyer:
                                        0_1501529148985_tmnt2 small.jpg

                                        As said the image you posted is custom artwork and it's based on this SNES Boxart:
                                        0_1501529209511_boxart 188-1 small.jpg

                                        It's a great boxart but to use the characters from that image for an overlay would mean a huge amount of time just cutting 'em out in a clean way !! Time that to me is not worth the effort.
                                        If someone has the characters already I would be more than happy to use them.

                                          @udb23 What you have looks good, but the new nickelodean turtles just aren't the same! Here are a few that might be easier to clean up. If you want i can try to help when i have some free time.

                                            I see. Yes, these are quite easy to cut out and first image has enough resolution. Will create a new version of the overlay using them.
