Top requested arcade games for overlays
-
Just finished a brand new Overlay: here.
-
Yet another classic now available: Scramble
The artwork is so gorgeus & colorful !!
I fear I'll have to make the scale integer overlay too someday... all that nice artwork cannot fit in the sidebars.
-
There's chance to request new overlays here ;-)

@UDb23 said in Top 10 requested arcade games for overlays:
@mindel There cannot be a single "universal" generic overlay as depending from the game the actual game area is different. Most arcade classics of the 80's do use same area but others don't. Also there's vertical and horizontal.
That said I could create a limited set of "generic overlays" if there's enough demand for.Feedback required for what games (screen area size "family") they should target.
Suggestions on how graphically you'd like them also welcome.Seeing what you can do, I'm totally IN for a set of generic overlays ! Also, could that be done for other systems for which overlays would all be the same sizes no matter the games ? Like for Atari, NES, NEO GEO... ?
Edit 2: With same format, without taking screen space on top and bottom :)
Can't wait for the Street Fighter 2 CE overlay ;) Keep up the good work ?

@UDb23 I'm trying to find time to work on our automated way to install those amazing overlays. I can't promise a release date but I'm taking the first steps.
I would like to ask you to avoid to put any "regular" file in the repository root directory, only directories (just keep what is being done currently). The
README.mdfile is OK.The reason is that I don't want to force the users to download every single file in the repository with a
git clone(even the unwanted overlays). And to avoid it I'm taking the list of the files in the root directory of the repository... -
@meleu agreed.
-
@Nataq as long as the system is a libretro core (and therefore supports these overlays) it can be done. I have to update my to-do list ;-)
-
@UDb23 I've started a new topic so we can discuss about the repository and the script:

Atari generic made ! Check here.

Elevator Action (Taito) now available.
It was quite tough to get clean logo and graphics out of the original arcade game flyer.Concerning clones, as discussed here, it includes CFGs for both roms supported by lr-mame2003:
elevator and elevatob (clone).I got no time to test the overlay on the Pi, so it'd be nice if somebody could confirm everything is ok.
-
@HurricaneFan & @meleu: Elevator Action as you requested some time ago ;-)
-
@UDb23 This is awesome! Thank you so much for the work.
-
@UDb23 Haha! Thanks! This was a famous arcade game here in Brazil.

-
@HurricaneFan thanks. Looks ok.
-
@UDb23 Looks great to me. :) Thanks again!
