I’m wonder John how this is coming along? Very excited:)
Where are the photos with the background?
Thank you!!! 
Close the thread ? It’s not your thread to close. If anything, the “Admins” should remove your off-topic claptrap and stupidity, since it’s just noise and fluff.
you’re right. I moved it off to its own thread.
Awesome work so far John. Hope you will upload the files soon with the 80’s vibe background, I like the first example the best btw, looks like it sits on a desk or something that way.
Any news on an update for these? I know you have not been online for a while but still hope you found he new forum adress and look in here from time to time.
These look amazing, but the link is broken, can these be reuploaded?
where are the overlays all the links are broken
Don’t think they are anywhere now as John didn’t release them all and left the community.
I upped a bunch of what’s around but nothing of the above quality. I pieced bits together from others artwork.
@Thatman84 what a shame to loose good content from the web. And just when I’m getting around to trying to set up Vectrex no less!
I see also that the emulationguide.com link you posted only two months ago is also down now 
Have you seen @mediamogul’s Vectrex overlays that were posted on the retropie forums as a mega.nz link? https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/15101
Edit Edit: This thread has a sister-thread at the retropie forums: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2638/vectrex-overlay-artwork
They will be back up soon. Im changing hosts today. I will have to figure out a new storage link on my new server and will tag you when they are back online.

I have a compilation here : https://github.com/cosmo0/retropie-overlays/tree/master/_sources/games/vectrex
I haven’t tested it (just regrouped them from various sources), not sure of the quality.

Cosmo I notice a similarity in the folder names between the Vetrex folders in your repo and the repo that Thatman linked here: https://github.com/libretro/overlay-borders/tree/master/1080%20GCE%20Vectrex
Do you think they could be sourced from the same place originally or do you think I need to consider these two sets of overlays as distinct?
Yep, they’re the same. Although my repo has a few more, I think (with a striped greenish-grey background for instance), but they’re probably built from the same source images.
Yeah those look to be from me. I added the credits into the config file.
The original game overlay sources are fairly unknown the console and generic borders are from Grizz, THK and Nosh of Hyperspin originally. Then THK cleaned the game overlays.
I can’t load the images in cosmos repo to see any extras.
OK, so there is mostly overlap between these two sets and I’ll plan to check to see exactly which extra ones cosmo0 has in their repo.
It seems like @mediamogul’s vectrex overlays from the retropie forum is distinct. I’m talking with them in the other thread to see if they can be added to the libretro repository.
I think @Orionsangel was considering making new Vectrex overlays when i last asked him about it. Please correct me @Orionsangel if I’m wrong 
I just have a lot on my plate.

No worries. I’m just glad you’re considering it.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I took the Clean Sweep overlay (from the libretro github linked above) and a good scan of a Mr. Boston overlay, and created the attached. Hope the mods discover this and add this to the collection. For a game as rare as Mr. Boston, I felt it deserved the right touch. If anyone feels this can be improved even further, feel free to share it!
