      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.

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

                @UDb23 can you access my bezels? Is it working for the script?

                  @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.

                          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.

                                    @udb23 I like it but as @TMNTturtlguy said, the new age turtles don't feel right. Did you recreate the portal? If so, that's pretty close! I may still try this one out myself but this is definitely a tougher one.

                                      Found this online. Not bad, but I don't like how they covered the bottom corner with that huge instruction.

                                        @greenhawk84 I have seen that one before making my own; as you said the instruction sheet does not fit. Also the boxes around the turtles, not in line with original art.

                                        Yes. I recreated the "portal" fully (inkscape: spiral tool + blurring and gradient in the background).

                                          @UDb23 for the vertical bezels that are being made here, they cannot be used with a shader correct? At least with a shader that works properly? I ask because when I enabled the crt.pi shader I got the rainbow colors that @dankcushions has worked to get rid of by changing/adjustments.

                                          Also, will crt.pi work with integer scale enabled as some of the bezels require?

                                            I'm not using shaders (personal taste) but months ago I tested it and I can't remember specific issues. There is a specific crt-pi-vertical shader; scale integer should be ON.
                                            Details in this post.
