GBA generic overlay and GBA Game & Watch Gallery 4 uploaded to Repo.
I think I got these 2 overlays installed but I'm not sure how you make the video smaller to fit in the frame. Here's what I see:
GBA Game & Watch Gallery 4:

@backstander Sorry, for some reason I messed up the cfg files. Viewport settings were missing!
Updated the files in the repo; please try now.It should look like this:
Related to GBA there's also a custom logo for Emulation Station available.

Hey guys,
I'm working on the script right now and I'm facing problems with the clones
.zip.cfg
. So, for now multiple.zip.cfg
files in the same directory is not allowed (otherwise they confuse the script).I hope to release an improved script before wednesday.
Cheers!

@UDb23
I've made some Pull Requests in the repo, can you take a look there?Finally implemented the very handy "Update" feature. Then, when @UDb23 add files to the repo, the update procedure will get them! (Thanks to @Brigane for pointing this necessity)
I've also made a ToDo list for the script in the repo issue tracker: https://github.com/UDb23/rpie-ovl/issues/14
Maybe we can use that as a script feature request.
Cheers!
-
@meleu thanks for you great work.
Meanwhile I keep making overlays ;-)BTW any wish for a specific one ? Just asking; I'm not committing I'll make it. :-D

First pull merged (directories); not sure what happened with the second (script); can you please check if everything has been merged ?
-

Well, I was holding back myself from asking you to do an overlay for Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. :-)
It's one of the most played by kids (and grownups too) when visiting my home.

Checked, and everything is fine!
Thanks! -
@meleu Edited To do list: "add clone support".
I should already have good quality graphics for Cadillacs & Dinosaurs... so an overlay could arrive in Brazil next week ;-)
Never played that game actually; so it's a good opportunity.
Cheers. -
Just made Time Pilot overlay.
Good to test the script for updates ;-)

I tried using this process for the first time tonight and it didn't work for me. As a test, I tried to add 1941 and I get, "Failed to install overlay for these games: 1941".
I have mame games in Arcade folder and mame-libretro folder and neither location allowed me to install the overlays using this script.
-
@HurricaneFan please, delete your local repository and clone it again in order to get the new changes in the script and repository structure.
Try again and let me know if you find any issue.
FYI: the 1941 problem was due the clone
.zip.cfg
file (1941j.zip.cfg
). This file was removed now. -
@meleu Still failing with same error. I see all of the folders of stuff on my computer but its failing to do anything with them.
Is there a log file for your script?
-
@HurricaneFan said in Nice MAME2003 overlays repository:

Currently not. But you can help me with this debug, launch the script this way:
bash -x rpie-ovl.sh 2> log.txt
And try to install the 1941 overlay.
Then paste the log.txt in http://codepad.org/ (select the "Plain Text" at the left of text box). It could be pastebin or something, but I'm behind a restrictive proxy...
-
@meleu Here is the output: http://codepad.org/60dAiEZi
++ ls '1941/*.zip.cfg' ls: cannot access 1941/*.zip.cfg: No such file or directory
It's not looking in the arcade folder for 1941 folder contents.

exactly! Really sorry fo this... :/
Will sort in a few minutes.
-
@meleu Take your time. I can manually test overlays.
-
@HurricaneFan fixed. Now we have to wait @UDb23 to merge the PR.
If you are comfortable with editing files on Linux, you can see the diff here: https://github.com/UDb23/rpie-ovl/pull/16/files
It's pretty simple.
And when you use the Update procedure later (after @UDb23 merge that PR) the script will get my fixes as usual. ;-)
-
@meleu That did the trick. 1941 overlay installed successfully. Thank you for the quick fix.
-
@meleu Merged. Thanks.
