      Yeah, too bad. :(
      Are those characters also included in your custom svg package? I would love to get Ryu. Would be a good match for my CPS system.

        @FlyingTomahawk Not yet. I'll include them & upload over the next days.
        BTW these SVGs are actually full figure images; screenshots I posted are just crops.

          Downloadable here. Haven't tested it with ES yet.

            Man, that Ryu has sooooo many objects!

            How long did it take you to create this?

              @FlyingTomahawk Most part is automatic conversion (free website: https://www.vectorizer.io/).
              The work is then fixing and adjusting that conversion... and yes, it still takes quite significant time.

                Found a huge archive of vector logos (Arcade, Consoles, Manufacturers etc) here.
                Author is THK, section admin to the HS forum's artwork section.
                They are mainly in .AI (Adobe illustrator vector format) and, converted to SVG, some of these they can be really useful for theme and overlay creation for Retropie.

                Still it does not include some logos made for retropie so far ;-)

                      Thanks for creating these. They look and work great! I was curious if you might be able to create something specific for Vector based games(ex. Tempest, Asteroids, Battlezone, Star Wars etc.) Maybe something like Vector Arcade Classics or Vector Games. Right now I am using MAME 1.4 to strictly run a list of these Vector games and then using MAME2003 for my main arcade set but that gives me two MAME logos on my list. Would be nice to just have a logo for the Vector games list itself. Thanks!

                        @KillerContusion Having a logo for ES for vector games is a good idea. Will think about a specific design/artwork and let you know. Could be based on original marquee or fonts of one of these famous vector classics.
                        When you say mame1.4 I suppose you mean advancemame ( now 3.x); it's best for emulating vectors in high res.

                          @UDb23 How about vector lines?

                            @KillerContusion You should look into using the Arcade folder. You have to manage your ROMs carefully, as you put different roms from different sets into that folder and launch each ROM with a specific emulator (selected at launch using RunCommand). But, if you are able to keep track of what you use to launch each ROM (I specify lr-mame2003 by default, then only specify Advmame1.4 for the vector games) the result is that you have just one ARCADE emulator menu instead of two MAMEs.

                              @lilbud Of course logo should be made of vector lines :-)

                                It's a good point. Personally I used the arcade folder to place all arcade classics there (and have replaced the logo with my "arcade classics" one).

                                But maybe @KillerContusion wants to have a separate "group" just for Vector games so he could "duplicate" the arcade theme and rename the new copy to Vectors and apply new vector logo.

                                  @UDb23 I like the idea of separate groups. I'm working on doing this for Light Gun games. Been testing those out recently to confirm which ones work on retropie.

                                    @HurricaneFan Nice! Let us know on the results.
                                    So far I read that it wasn't really working with modern LCD screens and/or Gun too expensive.
                                    Would love to see Operation Wolf working with the Light gun.

                                      @UDb23 I'm using a wiimote and a DolphinBar sensor bar. If I can get enough games working though, I'm going to splurge for an Aimtrak gun.

                                        @caver01 I will be eventually adding a set of ROMs to the Arcade folder but I like having all of my Vector based games under just one list. Would be great to have a logo to go along with that list. This way I can just go right to it for all my Vector games specifically and it would also look really nice with it's own logo :)

                                          @UDb23 yes I meant advmame 1.4 :) I found another thread here on the forums with some great settings and tweaks to make the vector games look as best as they can. I will have to look into the newer advmame 3.x and see what romset is needed for that and if it has any newer features to enhance the vector graphics. Thanks for considering my request and look forward to what you might come up with!

                                            @KillerContusion advmame 3.x works fine; romset is the same as previous. Will work on the vector games logo this WE.
