I would like to know how to create this. I'm pretty savy but just got interested in overlays because I thought it would be too much trouble for my rotated cocktail arcade.

I don't use bezels, but I just wanted to say that it's worth it to emulate the Williams clone of 1942 (lr-fba works well). Unlike the Capcom/Romstar version, the Williams version correctly refers to the 2nd button evasion maneuver as a Loop, not Roll, and consequently has Ls in the lower right corner instead of Rs. Also, the stage names are better (clearer).

I have the exact same issue. Was there ever a fix? I'm trying to remove the overlay side bars for every system, especially classic Arcade games like Mrs. PacMan for my 1Up Arcade cab. screen. Thanks in advance.

@mitu that did it, thanks!

@clyde Thanks alot for the help, I'll read up on it :)

May I ask for overlay for Warlords? (there supposed to be castles walls)

@udb23 Argh, thanks for reminding me. I wanted to copy the samples to the 4.4 sd card, but had to expand its partition first, and then I forgot to copy the samples … :P

The usual location for overlays is "/opt/retropie/configs/all/ retroarch/overlay". Maybe there is something there that is overriding your settings.

@cosmo0 I just booted up the ol' Retropie after a few months off and did a frest update of all packages. My 3yo toddler was going to meet Pac-Man for first time, and the overlays in FBA for Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man now go over the game. I tried Galaga as well, and that looked good. Did something get goofed up recently in an FBA or Retropie update?

I installed new version of Arcade Manager, and it isn't dl'ing any new overlays for me.

Lemme know what you think. Thanks and happy holidays!

@MrLightgun thanks I just actually updated to the latest version of RetroPie release. I have been holding off because my setup was working great for the most part.

I’m almost done moving my cfgs over and making sure everything is working properly. I believe I will give this process a try and see how it goes.

@dishins I ran these test on a stock installation of RetroPie. My Retroarch config is “hard coded” for my Xbox 360 wireless 4 player setup. It doesn’t play well with other setups unfortunately.

@robmcc83 Only if it's supported by the emulator - but it doesn't seem so.
There is a libretro core for Vice (C64 emulator - port of VICE for libretro) in the experimental packages section, you could try and install it.

New releases for both repositories!
