My hero. Thanks for making these. Gonna be following this in case you add more.

Been hunting for a 4K set for awhile. This is a good chunk of one with all the sizing info to boot.

Awesome

Thanks, @klepp0906!

I will make more overlays. I need more time. For now we have a good quantity. Some overlays had the arts updated.

klepp0906 · April 26, 2020, 10:04pm

take your time! Im old, i understand the value of time very acutely. Especially with toddlers running around.

I’m just ocd. I dont like to mix and match overlays, I like to keep it all the same style which leaves very few options since i have a playlist for pretty much every single console and handheld made in NA that retroarch can emulate

Either way, huge thanks. They look great!

lfan · April 27, 2020, 12:06am

I like to mantain a standard too, and the overlays are made according to the console display res. Only for arcade and systems above 320px I use 1440 x 1080, and for PC I use 1280 x 960.

lfan · April 27, 2020, 12:31am

@klepp0906, do you know the overlays for handheld made by Jeff Jenkins?

Hi again, I actually did not (know of his overlays) but I’ll certainly take a look today! Thank you for pointing me that way.

And thanks for the others you’ve added between then and now.

I’ve been largely using orionsangels overlays for the consoles, as he has one for just about everything. I think I recall 1 being missing, maybe neogeocd I had to source. It’s been awhile.

Unfortunately they aren’t 4K and they’re a little busy for my tastes now.

I’ve set up a pretty nice big box setup to couch game and I’m trying to get it looking as polished and uniform as I can which is what put me back on the overlay hunt.

Wish I could help but my photoshop is ultra rudimentary. (If that’s even what you use to make overlays lol. Illustrator maybe?)

Orionsangel · April 27, 2020, 10:22pm

These are awesome! Great job!

lfan · April 28, 2020, 5:10am

I use Photoshop.

@Orionsangel and ArsImvictus have excepcional overlays.

klepp0906 · June 3, 2020, 12:48am

I’ll check out arslmvictus too.

I’m only familiar with what i was able to find via google, or to a lesser extent emumovies submissions.

much of that has been mame centric or in small pieces.

at this point im looking for something

A) comprehensive or very close to it

B) a bit more simple

C) 4k

checking all those boxes is a tall order im sure. I imagine creating overlays takes a fair amount of time and a lot of people are only motivated to create them for platforms they use themselves.

add in the fact that plenty of people are not using 4k yet, or stick to integer or non integer scale and it makes finding a nice set rough.

Almost even considered something generic to cover the retro consoles if i could find an equivalent for the handhelds.

Anywho - thank you for your input (and definitely the overlays) thus far

Hey man! These are super clean! Much better than some clutered ones I have seen around.

KEEP IT UP

Absolutely love these, the only ones I’m missing for systems I regularly use are Dreamcast and Jaguar.

Hi, Your overlays are beautiful, are you going to make other machines ?

lfan · August 11, 2020, 10:51am

Yes! Jaguar, 3DO, Atari 5200/7800, TurboGrafx-16, Game Boy…

Thanks for the compliment.

Zxzx · August 11, 2020, 3:40pm

Thanks to you, I tried a lot of overlay but yours are the most sober. I also found other overlays of you on another site, great too (CRT-4K-Blue etc).

Need Game Boy haha (4:3 overlay look ugly with Game Boy), Nintendo DS top only and top / bottom ?

lfan · August 11, 2020, 4:38pm

The overlays here are the updated ones and my default. I no longer post on other forums.

For Game Boy I intend to put borders, as I have been doing.
