      @Nataq said in Top 10 requested arcade games for overlays:

      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... ?

      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.

                          Anything for you my friend. Plus it's actually a good idea.

                                    @HurricaneFan Meanwhile I was able to find good quality artwork to be used for Gyruss, Silkworm, Moon Patrol , Pole Position, Pooyan and Darkstalkers. Work on their overlays already started... some may be released this WE...depending on the time I will be able to find ;-)

                                    Also working on some new logos for ES; e.g. Specific Logo for Vector games as suggested here.

                                    Still looking for good quality scan or picture of the bezel for "The end" (stern); could anybody help on this ?

                                      I saw this online if it helps:
                                      Bezel:

                                        @HurricaneFan thanks for the support.
                                        Unfortunately I already searched the web extensively and only low resolution images like these are available. It's not enough to create a good quality overlay as I can't see the details.

                                        I'm now in contact with the owner of the real arcade machine and he's so kind that he'll take and send me high res photos of his cabinet.

                                          Gyruss overlays, for both Konami and Centuri versions, made.

                                          0_1489865419506_gyruss_udb-ovl.jpg

                                          Available in the Overlay Repository.

                                          Just tested and working fine.

                                          Screenshots are welcome as usual; for me it's time for dinner now ;-)

                                            Created another overlay for a classic:
                                            Time Pilot (Konami).

                                            Available in the Overlay Repo as usual.

                                            0_1489956161711_timeplt_udb-ovl.png

                                            3 versions actually exist; Centuri and Konami (original) have similar graphics with slightly different marquee. Atari's (UK and Ireland) cabinet is (was) totally different. Will create the other version too in the future...

                                            The "strange" gradient in the top part of the sky reflects the original arcade cabinet bezel.

                                            No more volunteers for screencaps ?
