The reason there is so much white space at the top is I also made this the image displayed if you press the game info button. The game info window is in the top have of the screen so my controls are displayed below it.
: I've got about 30 games loaded and playing them is great for me as I remember them as if they were yesterday. My kids however, aren't always familiar with controls or game play. I have created screen shots like this one http://www.geocities.com/txcanoeman/asteroid.png and put them in my flyers directory. I then set ArcadeOS to display flyers when a game is run. It works great! While scrolling through the list they see the game screen shot then when they run a game they see which controls they will use.
: However, that is only half the story. They are missing the game instructions that were usually printed on the machine. Anybody have any ideas on how to tackle that one?
