@HurricaneFan thanks for the screen caps!

HurricaneFan

@UDb23 Thank you for all the hard work you're putting into these overlays. You are just about done with that top 11 list. Have you thought about what other arcade games you might make overlays for?

UDb23

@HurricaneFan Sure I have already ;-)

Currently other arcade classics in the works:

moon patrol
cosmic guerilla
scramble
time pilot

Any specific request ?

HurricaneFan

@UDb23 Here are some I'd love to see:

Elevator Action
Joust
Mario Bros.
Punch-Out!!
Q*bert
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

UDb23

@HurricaneFan nice games. Will put them on the todo list.

meleu

+1 for Elevator Action. It's a classic here in Brazil. :-)

I would love to see these but since I initiated the first 10-11 I would ask you put any of my requests at the bottom of the list.
Tron
Robotron
star castle
Wizard of War
Mouse Trap
Lady Bug
Jungle King
Time Pilot

You know there is just a lot of great old arcade games. I am so glad we are able to play them like this. Having them on one device.

UDb23

@mviars I would make overlays for most of the requested games anyway, I like those classic games so much too. ;-)
And yes, they are a lot !

Consider also Gyruss, Astro invader, Silkworm and less known games like Crash (exidy ), The Speed Rumbler, Crush Roller (make trax).

Just a matter of time and availability of original artwork.

@UDb23, @meleu - I made a pull request on the overlays repo adding in 4 missing overlays that were in this thread! Please review and merge when you get a chance :)

UDb23

Lunar Rescue Artwork pack added to Repository (files edited/renamed to follow naming convention).

Launch and ES detail view images also included.

meleu

@UDb23 if you merge the @jdorion PR I can fix the Space Invaders filenames. ;-)

UDb23

@meleu done.

Wow ! Just what I've been looking for. Awesome work here ! Fits people that have built an arcade cabinet like me without losing valuable screen space (TVs in arcade cabinet canot go much bigger than around 28").

Well it hasn't been asked yet but I'm sure a "Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition" overlay would be extremely popular ! Here is my vote for what it's worth ! Keep em coming anyway ! I plan to use them all (after figuring how hehe).

Ho, I see the cfg files for those overlays are pre-configured for 1080p screens... I guess I will run into problems if my screen native resolution is 1366x768 ? Would you know how to adjust easily or each overlay would be different ? Thanks in advance.

I also have an older TV that runs RetroPie in 1366x768 and these overlays look great without any editing!

UDb23

@backstander Good to know. As cfg tells to use full screen I think what happens is that overlay image is reduced by libretro to fit.
