@andymadness i already have the background graphics done, as it was part of another theme i was working on, i just finished the theme i was working on, so i am going to be creating a playchoice 10 theme. I have the font and everything. I need someone to edit the font for the - to be 4 dots instead, but i numbered and added the dashes and everything to make my playchoice-10 rom list look like the playchoice-10.

@edmaul69 Thanks for clarifying shaders sitting underneath overlays! Now I just need to figure out how to do overlays and shaders together. For overlays I have gamename.cfg.zip files in my ROMs folders and gamename.cfg with gamename.png files in retroarch>overlays folder.

@greenhawk84 for shaders it would be something like this:

input_overlay = /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/overlays/edmaul69/duckhunt.cfg
input_overlay_enable = true
input_overlay_opacity = 1.000000
input_overlay_scale = "1.000000"

now if you need to move the position of the game screen or resize it you need to add it like this. note the numbers are just examples:

video_fullscreen_x = 1920
video_fullscreen_y = 1080
custom_viewport_width = 640
custom_viewport_height = 408
custom_viewport_x = 642
custom_viewport_y = 312
aspect_ratio_index = 22

This is great! I actually have an empty PlayChoice 10 dual monitor cab that I want to look and feel like a real dual cab, with the instructions/ menus permanently on the top monitor. I'm also using a PC instead of a Pi. This is is sort of possible with PC MAME, but of course only one game at a time. I'd also rather use an NES emu instead of MAME because some PC10 games don't play properly in MAME. Any chance this can be modified to work on a PC instead of Pi and also always be displayed on top of the game play screen?
