Thanks @MrRetroLust! Good to have you here! Now I can call your ID out directly on the posts where I give you credit 
Your work is also a huge contribution and you’ve definitely made some things possible that would have been much more difficult, such as the Neo Geo marquee collection in particular!
I was actually going to reach out to you today on the Truxton CPO. You did a great job with that bezel and the CPO is basically an extension of that art work from looking at the ref photos I could find. Send me a message to discuss and let me know if you could generate that from the bezel art you did or if you could give me the source images and I can do the CPO. If you don’t have it, no worries, I could do it by hand but this would save a lot of time.
I’m a HUGE Truxton fan and even bought the original marquee myself just to have the hi-res-scan. So thank you so much for taking the time to do the bezel for it!

Thanks for the welcome and compliments 
I responded to your pm at the LB forum. Btw If you guys are searching for flyers/instruction stickers I uploaded what I found during research at the Launchbox Game Database over here: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/platforms/games/5

Updated Marvel vs. Capcom 4K Vertical Overlay
This features a new high quality marquee image and has been completely rebuilt with the latest graphics elements. Hope to have a CPO version in the next week or so.
EDIT: Updated to increase size of screen area and make the instruction cards slightly larger for legibility.

Updated Cyberbots 4K Vertical Overlay
I replaced the logos and much of the text on the marquee as well as upscaled it, some small things which I think greatly improved the overall appearance. I think this marquee was actually a custom job, the only original marquee I’ve seen this far that I’m certain is legit is the Big Blue cabinet variation. I also updated all the other trim (@papashine renders for the trim and coin door) and instruction cards.
I have mame and retroarch versions available. The mame file includes a Big Blue version (courtesy @thoggo) as an optional view.

Updated Truxton 4K Vertical Overlay
Just some minor updates at this time, putting it into the new zip format for MAME and Retroarch. I have created a CPO for Truxton and will update it later when the render is done.

Updated Final Fight 4K Vertical Overlay
There aren’t any visual updates here, just putting it into the new zip format for distribution and in both MAME and Retroarch format. I’ll be doing this for all my overlays over time, which will be a long process.

1944: The Loop Master 4K Vertical Overlay
I wanted to squeeze out an actual new overlay for a change, so I’ve put one together for 1944. There is no good image of the original marquee available so I created a custom marquee from a scan of an arcade flyer I purchased off ebay. I’ve also done vector recreations of the control panel stickers, so once the render for that is ready (which is the same sticker set as for 19XX), I’ll update this to include that as well.

Updated In The Hunt
This version uses a much nicer scan and restoration of the marquee provided by RaspBear on the Mameworld forums in addition to the other graphic updates.
I doubt there will ever be an CPO version of this game as it’s very difficult to find. If anyone has it available though, please pass it my way.
EDIT: I brightened the bezel a bit, it was unintentionally too dark.

Updated Ninja Baseball Bat Man
I’ve updated with a restore provided by @MrRetroLust off a scan provided by @MrDo. I’m not sure on the source for the marquee here, I pulled it down from somewhere long ago and don’t remember where. Fortunately, I’ve reached out to the original creator for this game, who has the official rights to both the artwork and title, and he’s generously agreed to share a scan of the original marquee with us (when he gets home to California in a couple months). I’ll update it with that then, but for now I did some minor cleanup on the low quality copy I used here.
I’ve done both full bezel and large screen versions for this one:

Mystic Marathon
Lo! Finally, it is complete
This lovely overlay
Another classic Williams game
For all of you to play
The story is about a race
Across meadow and stream
Told of in legends, long ago
As if it was a dream
Your goal is simple, dearest friends
Just run until you win
Or if by chance you fall face-first
Well, you can start again
The bezel for this game was lost
Now, carefully restored
Our thanks to Mr. Do and friends
Our mead for them is poured
(This game has its own rhyming verse intro so I couldn’t resist. I painstakingly restored this bezel, which I think you’ll agree is worth it for this lovely artwork. Please note, this overlay has two versions, the darker one on the right was designed to emulate a dark arcade look with a glow on the CPO. Thanks to @PapaShine for the CPO render.)

That is the world’s first arcade overlay poetry! A great day for history, and Mystic Marathon!

Shadow Dancer Update now with Control Panel render!
Here is an updated version of Shadow Dancer which incorporates a shiny new CPO render from @PapaShine. There are both full bezel with the CPO and a large screen version with just the bezel.
Alas, I am too tired to compose a haiku about this game, but I hope you enjoy it anyway!

Fantastic update to Shadow Dancer, Ars and PapaShine. I think you guys nailed the lighting on this one. Dark enough to be plenty “vibey,” but bright enough to bring out all the detail in the artwork. You two are genuine artists. Also love that links are presented right alongside the preview images. Top notch, fellas!

Updated Out Zone
Just a basic style update again here, though I did replace the marquee with a better copy sourced from @MrDo’s site.
This is another cab where it seems the CPO is very hard to find (though last time I said that for In The Hunt, @Briball found a decent photograph that we can use for a future CPO version).

Updated Street Fighter III: Third Strike
In addition to the general graphic updates such as the plastic bezel and other trim from @PapaShine, I used a higher quality scan of the marquee from @MrDo. I also purchased and scanned the instruction cards used here.
