Top requested arcade games for overlays

[meleu]

@simbz23 please, use system = "arcade" in those info.txt. I'll need this on the new script. ;-)

You got it, made the changes!

[simbz23]

@meleu By the way I just somehow found out that you included the option to show specific game launch images. Love it, awesome work!

[meleu]

@simbz23 blame it on @UDb23 ! It was his idea! :D

[UDb23]

@meleu Pretty sure that the Ovl Repo & install Script project will stimulate people to create more art and put it together :-)

my macbook pro keyboard or OS might be an issue! Good to know. I dunno how I am supposed to prevent that?

I'm using my old Macbook Air bought during a holiday in the US (in addition to my windows PC); it has english (QWERTY) keyboard and only one " key (to the left of return key). That key provides the correct quote sign.

And yah I dont mind, they are not mine, this guy posted it as a link with his youtube video, I will try to find his video link again to try and find a name.

Now that you got your own Repo you should add these to it also.

@UDb23 Thanks for the heads up, and I will add any overlays I have that aren't ones that you or I made!

[simbz23]

Just finished an MK2 overlay! Available at my repo...

@simbz23 nice!

[UDb23]

@simbz23 Take care: making overlays can be addictive :-)

[simbz23]

@UDb23 Likewise brother! You are so right about that lol. Especially when you see there aren't any quality overlays for certain games! I am also future proofing and making 4k overlays. That transition wont be too far away ;-)

[simbz23]

@UDb23 Edited the Moonwalker overlay with your suggestion, hope it came out alright!

[simbz23]

Spider-Man overlay complete

[meleu]

@simbz23 There's an issue with the Spider Man overlay files on your repository. ;-)

So weird, I thought I uploaded and saved the changes. Files should be there now!

[UDb23]

@simbz23 overlay image filenames should include artist name: gamename_simbz-ovl.png
Script works fine even without it ... but people should know you made that overlay ;-)

[meleu]

@UDb23 I was thinking about it. We can create an optional field in the info.txt. I'm not sure about the best name: artist or maintainer? Maybe both :).

They will be completely optional. My intention is to give some credits in the dialogs while installing the files...

Suggestions?

[UDb23]

@meleu What about creator, author(more for books...), producer.
Or even simpler: Made_by
