      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.

                      @udb23 thanks yes I have followed that thread for a long time, I was just curious because I think in order to use that shader properly you could not use these vertical bezels at the same time. The game image stretches horizontally beyond borders.

                        Thanks for pointing it out.

                          I went ahead and took a stab at TMNT2.

                            @greenhawk84 Nice. Turtles fans now have quite of a choice.

                                Anyone know how to get these to work with the scanlines and everything, they seem to be popular on PC-Mame (I think Pi3 would choke though):

                                  @udb23 Love your work and this thread. I want to start making some overlays myself. For 1080p overlays is there any base template you use?

                                    @mrjordaaany With lr-mame and lr-fba most games have the same specific standard game area resolution @ 1080p. Of course it also depends if you want the game area to stretch to the 1080 height or "integer scale" the original game resolution.
                                    What program would you use ?
                                    I use basic templates for horizontal and vertical games in made, in SVG format.

                                      Anyone want to try out Final Fight (preferably with integer scaling to fit more art)?

                                        @greenhawk84 nice overlay!
                                        Unfortunately no time this week to test on Pi.

                                          @udb23 No this is a scan of the original that would fit in an original cabinet. This would not work with a Pi. I would use this for sampling and creating a 16:9 bezel.

                                            @udb23 I use whatever I need to use. GIMP, photoshop, paint.net, etc. I would really appreciate if you can share the templates with me :)
