Top requested arcade games for overlays

UDb23

@quicksilver no reason to delete. But just to be sure try deleting. Still same problem of game area covered?
Are the other overlays working ?

@UDb23 every other one I have tested has worked fine. It's just this one (so far) that I noticed didn't work right. When I'm next by my pi I will remove the overlay and replace and see if that helps and report back.

Edit: deleting the zip.cfg and then reinstalling took care of the issue

@quicksilver glad it solved. I just reinstalled on my Pi and it worked fine.

First off wonderful job on these overlays! Definitely the best that there is available!

Could we get Act-fancer added to the queue of overlays to be added?
Thanks!

Thanks.

Could we get Act-fancer added

There's not much artwork I could find for this "Giger/Alien like" shmup: just the JP flyer and an australian marquee. Do you have any additional ?

Ronoh55

@UDb23 I found the flyer and Marquee that you did and then an instructional poster and a 4k overlay that someone else made

@Ronoh55 The instructions are the back of the flyer. The overlay is freely based on the marque art.
Anyway, let me give it a try; you'll get a Retropie overlay.

Next step is making the right side work with lamps (specific rank gets illuminated) using Mame artwork's features of mame2003plus.

Forgot to update the thread: Gorf with lamps is working !

@UDb23 is it still possible to request 5:4 1280x1024 overlays from you?
Yours is of absolute stellar quality, and for some reason I can't get other than yours to work properly.

UDb23

@AndersHP It is always nice to know they are appreciated. :-)

Concerning 1280x1024, any specific request ? Have you checked these ?

GreenHawk84

Battletoads please? I know there are hi-res art files out there.

Riverstorm

@GreenHawk84 - You can use any of those you find without issues. I found a few for Battletoads @ 1920x1080 that I've been using for quite a while now. These are just snaps as the originals with transparencies are to big but the all omniscient Google easily reveals all.

GreenHawk84

@Riverstorm I do have one that is from the Rare Replay on Xbox Live, but do you know if these are original bezel arcade art files or are they new gen? I was looking at the old arcade cabinet art and I really like the old art.

Riverstorm

@GreenHawk84 - Good point, I'm not sure if they are from the original cabinet. I just found them online while I was searching for overlays that aren't in the repo. If I come across any that are 1920 x 1080 then I make the .cfg files to work with RA.

UDb23

@GreenHawk84 Did a quick check and unfortunately couldn't find any high res scan of the marquee or other artwork of the original arcade cab. Even Mrdo's Mame artwork site has no bezel for that game. :-(
