      As I owned the original FIRE Game&Watch I recreated an overlay for lr-mGBA using an actual, cleaned-up, picture of the original device.

      The overlay is meant to be used with "Game&Watch Gallery Advance" (includes original plus updated versions of Mario’s Cement Factory, Donkey Kong Jr., Donkey Kong 3, Fire, Boxing and Rain Shower) on a 1080p screen. Game area is 3x original size.

      In this way you can play with a real emulator of the original game with the original look:

      You could also play simulated G&W by installing the optional package provided in Retropie's setup. Fire seems not to be included in these simulated games.

      Additionally I created also a "generic" blue GBA overlay, basically using same cfg screen settings.

      Both overlays, config files and "how to install" info are available to download.

      If you're interest in this stuff, it's also a good opportunity to also use the mGBA custom logo for Emulation Station.
