      Hello,
      When running Vector games through AdvMame 1.4 my overlays and bezels are upside down as if the have been flipped. My background images are perfectly fine.
      I have tried editing the advmame 1.4.rc to adjust the flip options but that just flips the screen along with the overlay/bezels.

      When viewing the actual images within the zip files they are correct.

      I've done alot of searching and unfortunately have not found any leads as to how to correct this. I am running a Pi3 using Retropie 4.0 and have the correct romset and older images compatible with 0.106 and down.

      Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
      Thanks!

        @KillerContusion can you just flip the overlays and resave them?

          I will give that a shot Caver. I am not adept at that sort of thing. You think I could do that using Word Paint or IrFanview image software?
          Thanks!

            Hey caver that seems to work! I took the Demon overlay, flipped it in IrfaView. Loaded the game up and the overlay now lines up perfectly. I think I was way overthinking this haha. Thanks for the advice bud!

              @KillerContusion Glad you got it working. You shouldn't have to make upside down images, but without the right answer, at least you have one you can make work!

                  @qqplayer Advmame supports .ART files for overlays and backgrounds. It's a file format used by older Mame versions, up to .106. It is not easy to get desired results (check here).
                  You can find artworks on Mr. Do!'s Arcade site.

                    @UDb23 Thanks , i`ve tried that years ago , .lay files are easier to set-up.
                    I´ll try one more time.
