      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.
      0_1478466279311_vanguard retropie bezel udb.jpg

      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.
      0_1478466872305_vanguard side.JPG

      Resulting vector version based on previous picture.
      0_1478466901239_vang side vector ok 1080.png

      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.

            @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.

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

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

                        @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) ?
