Top requested arcade games for overlays

UDb23

@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.

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.

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 ?

@UDb23 I'll try to test this soon!

Again great artwork for this title.

@UDb23 You know what? You should post your paypal account info on the repo's README.md. I'm sure you'll get some coffees... :-)

When @meleu says to "post your paypal account info", he does not mean your username and password ;-)

I mean, follow the instructions here: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/donations

Another real Classic Arcade you got to know is Xevious.

It absolutely deserved a retropie overlay; here it is !

Based on original cabinet artwork as usual.

@UDb23 I couldn't get the new Xevious overlay working. I installed it through the script and I see all the right files. It just wouldn't load at all for me.

Thanks for the screeshots and testing!

Sorry for Xevious, there was an additional line in the cfg.
I did manual install right now and it works.

(cut off right corner is just due to quick photo of the TV I took ... image on screen is ok)

HurricaneFan

@UDb23 Is there something I have to change in my cfg file to get it to work?

meleu

@HurricaneFan use the update feature of the script and install that overlay again.
