I agree @HyperspaceMadness, huge thanks to @Thoggo for putting the site together. He personally wrote individual write-ups on every game too, which are amazing!

The site is looking amazing @Thoggo, really great effort to get all of that in there and have it running so smoothly! I know how much work you’ve put into this update and its been worth every moment!! :star_struck:

@ArsInvictus, all these overlays you’ve added recently are fantastic, can’t wait to get some more CPO’s ready for all of them soon! :pray:

Yeah I really enjoy @thoggo’s write ups too, now I want to figure out how I can play Zwackery properly!

I think I’ll have a spinner and a 2 button stick on my cab at some point, so maybe then :grin:

I gotcha, they aren’t nicely packaged up like we are doing for the vertical monitors so some setup is required, but you can still find the files here:

King of Dragons 4K Vertical Overlay

The bezel here is cropped as the full bezel artwork left little space for an actual screen in this case.

MAME - King of Dragons

RetroArch - King of Dragons

Looks great @Halloallemaal! To your question earlier, sorry but I won’t be making any more horizontal overlays for the foreseeable future as I’m really only playing the games myself on the vertical cab setup and there is just a huge amount of work to do for the vertical overlays so I’ll be focused on that for a long time.

Awesome :smiley:, Side Arms is one of my favorites! I remember playing this one as a teenager, even though I wasn’t terribly good at it.

I think SideArms is just very hard lol. I’m not surprised if you weren’t good at it! :smiley: @papashine will be working on the CP render for this overlay, so it will have a nice upgrade soon!

Gemini Wing 4K Vertical Overlay

This one didn’t work in standalone MAME for me for some reason (maybe a version difference in the rom?), but I’ve got the MAME lay format zip’s out there nonetheless.

Congo Bongo

MAME version

RetroArch version

One of the next plans for Vertical Arcade is focusing on classic arcade games that we haven’t yet done, especially 80s games that defined that era. This is one of those (at least in my mind), a Donkey Kong-inspired platfomer that added the novelty of isometric 3D to the mix (not to mention a lot of aggressive animals). The death music is one of those memorable bits that brings back memories for me!

Both versions have two screen sizes, the standard size shown here and a larger size for those that prefer it (you’ll need to choose the right Zip file for the version you want in RetroArch).
