Joypad overlay
For playing Impulse X a Joypad overlay is not required, but some users asked for it, so i am providing here a ZIP archive containing two JPGs:
The first JPG shows the Impulse X overlay in standard size of an Jaguar overlay in 300dpi,
the second JPG is prepared for being printed as a 4"*6"-photo at a Photo Printstation.
