Vectrex Overlays

[h3xl3y]

Hi
Yesterday i was trying to load Overlays for Vectrex games automatically and there is not much info about
After a few trial and error i found the command line that load overlays auto for each game
So i thought to share my find 

First you need to put vectrex.zip file in MESS\artwork folder
in vectrex.zip you should have overlays.png and a vectrex.lay text file
you can find overlays easy on the internet

IMPORTANT: the ROMS names need to be exactly the same as OVERLAY.png including in vectrex.lay
Ex: rom = Armour.zip   overlay = Armour.png

The command line is this

Code: [Select]

<Cmd id="0" name="MESS" value="vectrex -cart &quot;%path\%file%ext&quot; -view &quot;%file&quot; %volume -skip_gameinfo -nowindow" />
Have Fun
