Vanguard: new mame overlay.

[UDb23]

Recently at a Gaming exhibition I could play a real classic on an original arcade machine: Vanguard.
Actually Vanguard was one of the first Arcade games I remember playing as a kid!

Decided to create a new overlay for it, as none of those available on the web includes the original cabinet side artwork.

Except the score table, all the included artwork & logo have been vectorized.
It took me far more time that I initially thought to recreate good quality vectors from pictures I found; but I believe result was worth the effort. In case you need any high res images generated from SVG just let me know.

To get an idea:
Picture of side Artwork (real cabinet image found on KLOV forum.

Resulting vector version based on previous picture.

As usual this overlay is for lr-mame2003 @ 1080p with integer scaling ON and max possible gaming area.

Zip file with Overlay & cfg files can now be downloaded (EDIT) from the Repo.
Have fun !

Note: unrequested headache and even more time needed was due to an issue with RGUI reporting wrong info about actual game viewport width and height.

looking great mate, how do i use these with retropie attact mode, and can i download these bezels from hyperspin and put them in or do they need converting

thanks

[juice]

do you have many of these converted ? to drop in retro pie

@juice I don't have specific knowledge about Attract mode. Hyperspin bezels (link cannot be accessed without registration..) should work also with lr-mame2003 in Retropie. You may have to adjust the actual game area thru RGUI or cfg file.

I was looking for Vanguard side art online. I can't find any. I came across your post. Do you think you could provide a high res image that is the right size for a Centuri Cabinet? I am restoring a Vanguard cabinet.

Thanks.

As I recreated that artwork fully in vectors I can generate any resolution image.
Do you know the actual size (metric) you need it to be printed ? I think 300 or 600 dpi should provide nice quality.

Thank you. I will measure my cab tonight and post the results.

Excellent thank you! The vanguard overlay I had was for crap compared to this one.

@mike-a

I hope this is enough to go on. Sorry for the archaic imperial measurements.

[UDb23]

@mike-a I will generate a 300 dpi file accordingly on the weekend (currently abroad for work). Can you provide an e-mail were I can send the file (thru wetransfer) ?
