      Hi
      I have used rpie-art script to download an overlay set. I have also set it for libretro/arcade. But when I start a game in Arcade with a libretro emualtor (fbalpha) I don't get any overlay.
      Peraphs I need to enable it somewhere else? Honestly I don't fully understand the retroarch overlay setting, and if the rpie-art and its script options are enough or some other manual settings are requried
      Bye

        @Menion the issues will almost certainly be with the script. the names and option values for retroarch emulators changes over time. i think you need to raise this issue with the script author in the first instance.

        if you give us an example of one of the configs AND its location and file name, we can tell you the issue but ultimately the script will need fixing.

          Can you get a verbose logging from running the ROM with lr-fbalpha and post the output to pastebin.com ? Does it work with lr MAME emulator ?

          You can see how the overlay is configured for a game by looking at one of the overlay repositories used by the script - for instance https://github.com/UDb23/rpie-ovl/tree/master/arcade/1944 shows what configurations are necessary to add overlays for the1944.zip rom file.
