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 ;D
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
[glow=red,2,300]Have Fun[/glow]
