Superb as always buddy... THANKS :D

Many thanks for this eye candy! And yes, a fresh MAME2003 build from source has sample support for cosmica! Cheers!

@Riverstorm : does it work for you ?

Hey Udb, I missed the post and just seeing it tonight/morning around 12:30 AM but I had to comment on how amazing and incredible it looks. I will be testing it out tomorrow. If you feel your ears ringing tomorrow it's due to all the praise I'll be showering your way. :) Thank you so much for doing this, it's absolutely amazing! You're one hell'va artist!!

Allright, here's the two debug.txt file contents:

First: http://codepad.org/fcEKpQJb
Second: http://codepad.org/Z8sLyqCy

Hope you can use it..

You realize she is now most likely in her late 50s/early 60s lol

sure,LOL.

Nowadays it's just a funny picture. Today in advertising, and in general, we're used to way more "aggressive" girl images.
Can you imagine in the 80's ? That must have been a very scandalous shot ! :-))

@Brigane It's a very good game so it deserves a good overlay ;-)

@wookie It's really down to the Mupen64plus devs. If you ask here nicely they might do it... https://github.com/mupen64plus

@valhalla_pi

I personally prefer to force everything into the precise dimensions of the (4:3) viewport: custom aspect, non-integer scaling, plus smoothing to fuzz it up a little. In the rare event that I come across a game that looks distorted, I tweak the settings for just that game.

@jozzy1 Far too kind. Glad it's appreciated.

I made this one fully vectors so if anybody needs different ratio or resolution I can make it easily, just ask.

What about Mega man 5 as next overlay ? ;-)

I'm excited about that!
I'm on a "Mega Man cheevos hunting marathon". Currently on Mega Man 4, and the 5 will be the next. :-)

@davej Looks like that's it! Turning threaded video on allows for both to coexist without the noticeable slowdown. Strangely enough, I have no recollection of having turned that off. Looking at that other thread you linked it would appear that "on" is the default, right? I will admit to the possibility that I may have switched it off not knowing what it was for, but I don't recall having done so. I'm also now finding that the Threaded Video reverts back to OFF after I exit out of a rom to retroarch, despite selecting to save the core override. When I check the contents of the retroarch.cfg threaded video is set to "true".

Any thoughts on that?

EDIT: After going into the RetroPie Setup It appears that while retroarch.cfg was set to "true", all of the problem emulators were set to "false" (which I believe overrides the retroarch.cfg). Going into them individually and changing them seems to have sorted this out. For anyone else who might be in the same situation, I found these by going to the RetroPie section in Emulation Station and hitting...

RetroPie Setup > Configuration / tools > configedit >advanced configuration>Configure Libretro Options>and then choosing the emulator/retroarch.cfg and turning video_threaded from false to true.

Thanks again for the help!
