I went ahead and took a stab at TMNT2.

@greenhawk84 Nice. Turtles fans now have quite of a choice.

Anyone know how to get these to work with the scanlines and everything, they seem to be popular on PC-Mame (I think Pi3 would choke though):

@udb23 Love your work and this thread. I want to start making some overlays myself. For 1080p overlays is there any base template you use?

UDb23

@mrjordaaany With lr-mame and lr-fba most games have the same specific standard game area resolution @ 1080p. Of course it also depends if you want the game area to stretch to the 1080 height or "integer scale" the original game resolution.
What program would you use ?
I use basic templates for horizontal and vertical games in made, in SVG format.

Anyone want to try out Final Fight (preferably with integer scaling to fit more art)?

@greenhawk84 nice overlay!
Unfortunately no time this week to test on Pi.

GreenHawk84

@udb23 No this is a scan of the original that would fit in an original cabinet. This would not work with a Pi. I would use this for sampling and creating a 16:9 bezel.

MrJordaaany

@udb23 I use whatever I need to use. GIMP, photoshop, paint.net, etc. I would really appreciate if you can share the templates with me :)

UDb23

@mrjordaaany sure I can. Will upload them on github both as svg and PSD next weekend. Will provide link here.

MrJordaaany

@udb23 Thank you :)

Templates now available here as vector (svg) and bitmap (png) for libretro @1080p, standard options, scale integer off (lr-mame2003, lr-fba).
PNGs include transparent game area. Side bars in solid color so they are easy to select and replace. Small borders included.

@udb23 Legend. Thank you.

And here's another new overlay ready for a great Classic: AMIDAR.

@UDb23 I see this thread hasn't been posted in for a few months. Are you using a different thread when discussing Overlays?

I've been adding overlays and noticed mspacman.cfg had an incorrect name to the png.

Also simbz23 had a few errors I think it was dkong3 and dkongjr. They had -edit in the .cfg file or the png name. They were both part of the Donkey Kong ROMS but I believe it was those two.

More details on errors. They prevent the overlays from loading.

mspacman.cfg (This might be an old entry I have)
overlay0_overlay = "mspac_udb-ovl.png"
png:
mspacman_udb-ovl.png

dkong3.cfg:
overlay0_overlay = "dkong3_simbz23_edit-ovl.png"
png:
dkong3_simbz23-ovl.png

dkongjr:
overlay0_overlay = "dkongjr_simbz23_edit-ovl.png"
png:
dkongjr_simbz23-ovl.png
