      @mitu Also, I do recall hand tuning most every single overlay I have ever located. Some of them I created from scratch. It's possible that my current version of frogger_udb-ovl.png is different than the original UDB created. But either way, I would not want to go back through every single game and hand tune the artwork for them again. Looking for what configuration or system change might have altered the outcome of the overlay rendering across the board.

      Here is the frogger_udb-ovl.png I am using:

        I see from the log that the resolution is correct (1080p), but nothing else that pops up. The overlay I used for testing hasn't been updated in 2 years, so it should be the same as yours.

        I'll check to see how is my system configured w.r.t. 'Force Aspect Ratio' and 'Integer Scaling', maybe that makes a difference.

          @mitu Yeah I confirmed by comparing your previous screenshots with my overlay that the one I am using is nearly identical. I had actually gone in and trimmed just a bit more of the overlay pixels away nearest the game display so that the rendered game is framed by a thin edge of black. (just a personal preference and largely why I had hand tuned most every overlay for my games)

          So if anything my overlay should be exposing more of the game not covering any of it up.

            Wait a minute.. hold the phone... I JUST realized that the actual display that is drawing for my overlay is Final_Arcade_Frogger.png... not sure how the hell I didn't notice that before. Something seems to be wrong with my setup such that it is NOT actually listening to the above configuration. Investigating....

              @Alturis You have a game override in the RA's config folder

                @mitu The contents of that are below. But that doesnt seem to be what was causing the descrepancy. It appears I somehow copied the contents of the frogger.zip.cfg from the wrong location.

                Either way, it was rendering correctly in previous runs of the game prior to my upgrading.

                  @Alturis I didn't say it was because of the override - but can you try renaming it and re-start the game - I noticed there are some custom_viewport settings. And please use pastebin.com for large texts.

                    @mitu Indeed deleting that file seems to have resolved it. Not sure how the heck that came into existance... I gotta run but thank you for all your help!

                      @Alturis I think you saved a 'Game Override' at some point, that's how the game's .cfg file was produced and the aspect_ratio_index = "21" (that I mentioned in the beginning) was saved there.

                        @mitu Indeed. You were right all along. I really appreciate you helping me track that down. Its been a long time since I have messed with my RP and I had become more unfamiliar with everything than I was when I was more into it. ;)
