I think that has to be one of the hardest games ever...

Hi everyone, it's time to add some new overlays to my collection. Let's see what we've got today : Mouse Trap (Exidy): This one is not really new. When I have started this collection, @ts-x has contributed and uploaded few overlays including one for Mouse Trap. Unfortunately the design was not fully compliant with mine. I have finally decided to modify it a little bit, mixing his job, the original cabinet's bezel, and my design. The result is very close to the original, but it is now compliant with the collection's design. Frisky Tom (Nichibutsu): King and Balloon (Namco): Download them here, from my github repository, or install them with the @meleu's script rpie-art. The next set will be 100% shoot'em up. So if you like, stay tuned.

Fixed it, I simply updated lr-mame2003 in retropie setup. Many thanks for your help.

This appears to be working for the artwork. If installed through RetroPie, first create symbolic link: sudo ln -s /opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper/Skyscraper /usr/local/bin/Skyscraper Command line example for SNES in the USA region with use with EmulationStation: Skyscraper -p snes -s screenscraper -u username:password --unattend --nohints --region us Command line options /retropie/configs/all/skyscraper/config.ini Config.ini options Config.ini region options EDIT: After the artwork is downloaded i was able to generate gamelist.xml.

@sirhenrythe5th Carbon supports video. As far as I know, the only grid enabled themes are @ruckage's Pandora and Neogeo mini themes, which are not in the RP list of installable themes (specifically because they only support the grid view).

Every thing must end one day. Today is the end. Here are my 3 last overlays. Do not worry, it's just before holydays. I will come back at the end of august or beginning of september. Perhaps, if I have time, I will release one or two small things during this month to keep you awake. But do not expect too much. Today, I give you three overlays for three classics. Some are more famous than other, but they are all a part of my gaming history. Let's go : Mappy (Namco): Popeye (Nintendo): And of course "The Classic" Mario Bros (Nintendo): As everytime, all this stuff is available here, in my reporistory or in the @meleu rpie-art script. Now I will relax a little bit and prepare the next season. I wish happy holydays to every one and hope to see you again in a little bit more than a month.

@grant2258 - Thanks for the information. I've been spending some time messing around with the the options and thing make sense now. I think this core is complete for me, game wise. I've added all the games that I remember or have been suggested as good play. The only games I add now really are what you and Arcadez implement or new backdrops, then I'll add that game too. :)

Doesn't matter, I worked it out. I had the <folder> tag placed in the wrong place. Regards,

Yes, I figured out about nesting layers, so I got the alignment working. I couldn't get the resizing of the wheel.png to work the way I wanted, so I just adjusted the 'box' so that it worked for the tallest wheel.png when they were all adjusted by width. It's not totally perfect but with such a variance in wheel.png sizes and shapes I think it looks pretty uniform. Now to run it on all the other systems and hope it comes out OK. Edit: Just tweaked the box so rather than having its own border in the png it just uses the stroke feature to match the border on the screen shot. Not thrilled with the banding that gets introduced with skyscraper.

Beautiful graphics! Thanks!

@mitu Thanks for that. It worked perfectly. It is actually great news that the boxart splash screen is a separate location and separate file. It means I can create a specific "help" splash screen with the boxart and button mappings so that when I start a game it reminds me how to play the game.

I guess the fbi (image viewer) used to display the .png file does not support transparency ? Ahh ok, that makes sense. It seems it defaults to a gray background. I wonder if there's a way to either have it default to a black background OR make the side bezels match the gray background i'm getting from the .png

Hi. See Where are my scraped images and metadata saved? in the Docs.

@rocco42 we don't really offer support here for other images as we don't possibly know versions or conflicting software that may be installed there. That being said you will want to turn off OMX Player for that to happen, if that version supports it. Other issues will likely occur.

@willie1280 Vectorlib and Arcadeartwork offer a significant amount of artwork in vector format.

@willie1280 I bought a graphic kit from mini arcade machines. My marquee is a sticker. I cut two pieces of plexiglass and sandwiched it between them and then did a border using some leftover T-molding with the spine part cut out.

@alturis said in AdvMame Artwork: Missing something: @jonnykesh Weird. The information I was reading about it seemed to suggest just the opposite. That the old format was .art and the new format was .lay Yeah, you have it right, but wrong assumptions about which one AdvanceMAME requires. I tried to clarify that here, after @Meneer-Jansen's post.
