Top requested arcade games for overlays

@udb23 I have the .cfg files available, do I just upload those separately or how do I "bundle" them so its properly accessible?
I hope everyone enjoys this bezel. I can already see some super easy tweaks I can make (I'm anal). I'll re-release it when I get a chance later.

Anyone care to take a stab at Puckman (original Japanese Pac-Man)?
After long search I got some original Namco Puck-Man artwork to work on...

You should create folders on Github "per system" and place overlay image, CFG files and info.txt (structured as shown in the link @meleu posted) in a single "game name" folder.
Example: here. -
@udb23 so what artwork is this Puckman?
I really like the "Exciting" on the top of the bezel!

I am not sure how to do Folders in Github but I agree.

For some reason GitHub doesn't allow you to have empty subfolders so you have to do a little trickery...just watch this video:

First thanks for the request of making Puckman's bezel; searching for quality artwort for it I found out many versions were/are available.
I already of course knew it is the original game and why out of Japan it was called PacMan
:-D
Game is the same but multiple cabinets with similar, but different, artwork were made for Puckman (being of course different from PacMan cabs too).
Different marquees, sideart, bezel and Control panel.
The original cab, on display at Namco's HQ, is the one I posted.
As an example for marquees:
original
"your" posted image cab's
Another version.More info here.
The original cab, on display at Namco's HQ, is the one I posted.
I now have collected some decent resolution pictures of the cab, original flyer and vector images (even if not fully "precise") from different sources.
I will create vector versions of all the cab's artwork, sticking as much as possible to the real thing, including correct colors.
The most challenging part being the marquee as I only found a slanted and not so much detailed photo of it.
But that's the fun part: no "real" detailed vector of the Bezel and Marquee seem to exits... so far ;-) -
@greenhawk84 ... and as you like the bezel you posted so much... I'll make that overlay too ;-)
-
@udb23 Exciting!!
My next target is Street Fighter 2 World Warriors. I want to be able to select the different versions and have different artwork for each.
-
Puckman overlay done (it took hours but quite happy with the result).
More info and download here. -
I uploaded the .cfg files to my repository. Can someone see if all is well?
-
OK guys here is my Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting variant bezel.
-
-
@UDb23 can you access my bezels? Is it working for the script?
-
@greenhawk84 I noticed there is no info.txt and files are not in a folder. Info.txt is mandatory, one per game as described by @meleu.

@meleu You already posted it in this thread (here); probably @GreenHawk84 missed it.

Not that much magic !
It's just latin, basically meaning: "Repeating helps"
