      YAAAAAY, BRO!!
      That totally did the trick.

      Overlay looks sooo good, so .... ahem... well... If you don't know what else to do... Keep 'em coming in 5:4 format :D :D :D

      Also tested the Donkey Kong overlay in Gyruss, and it looks perfect there also.

        Really happy that it finally works !
        So we learned something new: when ROMs are on USB full path reference is needed.
        Will add this to the readme.
        @meleu: your script should be "upgraded" to consider this case too.

          So the Gyruss overlay should be next....
          maybe coming soon... ;-)

            Reading the last few posts above I wasn't able to confirm if @AndersHP tried to install using my script.

            @AndersHP did you tried to install the overlays with rpie-art and it didn't work?

              @meleu yes, the GUI gave me an error regarding using the arcade folder, and then it stated that no art was installed. Should I try again, to get the exact error messages?

                Yes, please. But this time invoke the script like this:

                bash -x ./rpie-art.sh 2> debug.txt
                

                And use the script normally. Follow the steps you took to get those errors. When you are done with the script, the file debug.txt will be filled with valuable info for me to see what's going wrong. Then please post this file at ghostbin.com or something.

                  Ghost bin gives me an internal server error. Never used the site before, but I will keep trying.

                  I updated the script but still got these three messages when choosing the 1280 donkey kong art:

                  "Unable to show the image.
                  (Note: there's no way to show an image using SSH.)"

                  "Warning!
                  We've had some problem with overlay art for "Donkey Kong (arcade)!
                  Update files from remote repository and try again. If the problem persists, report it at https://github.com/udb23/rpie-ovl/issues".

                  "No art have been installed".

                  I used the debug function and got a TXT for my first attempt, then I reinstalled and deleted the debug.txt, and got a fresh one second time.

                  So I have both files for you to see... Whenever ghostbin will let me. Got another suggestion?

                    Just tried the 1944 overlay. It installs the launching image fine. Cannot see any overlay, but that's probably because I'm on a 5:4 screen and the game area fills the entire screen.

                      Launching Image available too.

                      How does these 1080p launching images appear on you 1280x1024 display ? Rescaled or centered ?

                        the best suggestion I have currently is http://codepad.org/ (not blocked by the proxy where I'm jailed when at work :) )

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

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

                          Hope you can use it..
