            Here's the overlay for nr. 2:

            0_1485597805980_dkong_udb.png

            Again it was composed only with arcade cabinet art.

            Required files here.

            Got no time to make and post a screenshot right now... so volunteers welcome ;-)

                    Thank you @UDb23 for these awesome overlays! I haven't tired the Donkey Kong one yet but the Pac-Man has got to be my favorite so far on this thread!

                        It's an adaptation of the image made by Metalzoic/Alexminasepm (Metalzoic's MAME Mega-Bezel Pack on Rlauncher forum).

                            @UDb23 Great job as usual! You should create a project on GitHub for all of these overlays.

                            Get latest build of EmulationStation for Windows here

                              And your're right about Github; that will be the next step once I reach a significant number of overlays.

                                    @UDb23 Do you have a page where all of your overlays are?

                                      @swaggers Not so far. You can search this forum for "overlays" or check my posts.
                                      I'll create a specifc thread with all of them as soon as I finish these top10.

                                          @meleu I'm thinking of defining some standards to create a common retropie overlay repository on github as you suggested. Idea could be having a global "index" file with relevant info about each available overlay. In this way a script or application could automatically detect/update and filter current available overlay list and select them for install.
                                          Each time a new overlay is added this global idx file must be updated accordingly.
                                          Another way could be having info/index file for each overlay providing the same info; in this case the app/script should go thru each overlay (one folder for each?) And compose dynamically the global list.
                                          I don't know much about how Github works; what do you think?
                                          In any case info contained in the index file should include ( for each overlay):
                                          ROM name,game name, platform, supported cores, screen resolution, fullscreen/integer. A thumbnail could also be useful.
                                          Could the folders you created for the overlays on github be a starting point ?
                                          Second step could then be sharing not only overlays but full artwork pack for each game: splashscreen, overlay, image for ES gamelist XML..... And, why not, video preview ;-)

                                            @UDb23 You are an artist. You can focus on the art. :-)
                                            If you do exactly what you are doing but instead of uploading to mega.nz, upload to a folder in a github repository, it's enough. No need to create and manage an index file.
