The couple of MameWah / MALA layouts I have seen include space to display thegamelist and screenshot, however, for Intellivision it is important to show the controller overlay image as well. 

Does anyone have a layout which includes the gamelist, screenshot and controller overlay images?

If so, how about sharing ....

Just curious, what controller do you use for intellivision emulation?  I find that system to be pretty much unplayable (with the exception of the simpler games like Night Stalker) without that incredible controller.

I have a four player cabinet with tons of buttons, so mapping all the buttons required from the intellivision controller is no problem.

I was just thinking about this today.  I've just started using MALA.  Could the overlays be shown as a pop up window like withthe history info or the control panel viewer?

Do you know where I could download a .zip of overlay images?

I downloaded most of the layouts from John's site:

  http://www.emuchrist.org/cpviewer/

.... just click the "Downloads" link, then click "MameWah layouts"...

I then use the MALA layout converter (from the Mala Homepage layout section) to convert MameWah layouts into Mala useable layouts.  Real easy ..... point to a MameWah layout (LAY) file and click a button to convert it.

As for the controller overlay files for Intellivision, I simply editted the Intellivision layout file I obtained from John's site to include space to display the overlay image and the snapshot.    This way, when the game is selected from the gamelist, I see the controller overlay and the snapshot.

I'm sorry, I didn't phrase my question clearly.  Where did you download the actual scans of the Intellivision overlays?
