Well this wont work for me. The Front end is Hyperspin that points to Rocketlauncher that goes to Retro Arch. And for what you are telling me I HAVE MANULLY CHANGE the over lay… I can make CFG files for all the Games/roms But if the Overlay is not changing AUTOMATICALLY from game to game. This wont work. I will be playing Berzerk and looking at an over lay from Pole Position.
Just to be Clear…Is my above assessment correct…The overlays DO NOT change AUTOMATICALLY…Yes/No???
They’ll change automatically once you set up each game-specific config override, which is what will actually store the overlay option.
1 load Vectrex core 2 overlay preset Berzerk.cfg 3 load berzerk. ( Oh and by the way the Correct Overlay and The Game will appear on the screen …Right?) 4 save game over ride. (I noticed a down arrow at that step. Is that an ENTER or The Dowm Curser Arrow?
is this it?
that should work but I would switch steps 2 and 3 just to be safe.
1 load Vectrex core 2 load berzerk 3 overlay preset Berzerk.cfg 4 save game over ride.
And I will ask again (I noticed a down arrow at that step. Is that an ENTER or The Down. Curser Arrow What is is?
And after this if I load in Berzerk I get the game and over lay for Berzerk…correct?
I don’t know what down-arrow you’re referring to…?
but yes, those steps should make it so whenever you load berzerk, it will have the berzerk overlay.
this is my code I used foir my config file overlays = 1
overlay0_overlay =Berzerk (World).png
overlay0_full_screen = true
overlay0_descs = 0
I tried putting it in the config file and I put it in the over lay file DIDNT WORK!
The arrow that I was talking about is found at SAVE GAME Overrides it is a downward facing arrow and a line!
I followed your steps DIDNT WORK! I noticed that the overlay preset goes back in the menu to Vectrex.cfg
WHAT YOUJ ARE TELLING ME TO DO DOESNT WORK at all no overlays are coming up!
I tried the steps you laid out and IT DIDNT WORK! This is an example of one of my config files overlays = 1
overlay0_overlay =Pole Position (USA).png
overlay0_full_screen = true |
overlay0_descs = 0
I put the config file in The Config Folder and also in the overlay folder labeled both are named Vecx I did notice that everytime I go to the Overlay preset it goes back to Vectrex.cfg NO OVERLAY is coming up even after I complete your steps.
You must be doing something wrong, then, because i just did it here and it worked fine.
Do you have the overlay png in the same directory as the overlay cfg? Try putting the filename in quotes, in case it’s having trouble parsing the spaces in the filename.
ADMIN Close this thread…I solved my problem using Rocket Launcher all Overlays Load in independently and correctly
Glad you got it going.
