      I have to dig them up first that will take some time too.
      No rush, in time, I will see if I can send some photo's.
      That would be great if we could improve this way ;-)

      ps, have to go now, later !!!

        I have made some pictures, but it's quite difficult to get a good result.
        The biggest problem is that the screen reflects images as a mirror and I have to have good light with good white background.

        I am hoping to get some better results !

        This is my best image up till now (reduced quality and size for upload) :

          Today I made a great picture and used gimp to get it even better.
          Still have to do the zoom version.

          This is how it looks like ?
          I already edited the artwork layout for this one :
          (Do you like it too ?)

            Very nice!
            You should add a small drop Shadow effect (#5). You will have a deepness effect for the screen (more realistic). Where can I get it!!!

              Here is the file :
              https://www66.zippyshare.com/v/w9W7OLDW/file.html

              Don't know how to add the small drop shadow effect.
              Can you add it ?

                        Very nice!!! Do you like the drop shadow effect? I think it gives a realistic touch

                          Shall we replace it on google drive ?

                                Perfect.

                                We should test if the old file is going to be updated.
                                I think it has to be removed first.

                                That could be an issue.

                                Edit :
                                I tested it and the file wasn't updated.

                                I added the issue on github :
                                https://github.com/matthuisman/gdrivedl/issues/19

                                  I would like you to add the artwork for videopin for mame .
                                  It's described here :
                                  https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/31255/atari-video-pinball-backdrop

                                  Artwork :
                                  https://www92.zippyshare.com/v/9Gp7lzW5/file.html

                                  It comes from "mame202artworkall".
                                  Perhaps there is more, in there, that can be added.

                                  Though, for lr-mess there isn't a solution yet.

                                      Looked at the links but could not find a videopin backdrop overlay.

                                        For Google Drive issues, would it be easier if I put everything on GitHub?

                                          Let's wait for Matt first, perhaps he can improve his script.

                                          But indeed github could be a better way in the long run.

                                          There are some advantages like :

                                          • forking
                                          • easy collaborating
                                          • perhaps skipping files when cloning for an update

                                          But there could also be some downsides :

                                          • how much data will we have in the future and what is the data-limit of github ?
                                          • I think cloning doesn't work when we add files manual locally because it wants to sync with the repository. So testing files on the harddrive becomes more difficult.
                                          • Perhaps we also face some ownership issues

                                          We can do some tests with a few files and see how it works.

                                            Matt changed his script and added the option -m or --mtimes.
                                            link

                                            I added this in my script (not on github yet).

                                            It's downloading all again now, just as Matt explained.
                                            When I am ready we have to change 1 file and revert it back to test if this solution works.

                                            Edit:
                                            It has downloaded now.
                                            Tried to download everything again and now it said that the files exist.
                                            Looking good, so far !

                                            So now you can throw in an different file with the same name and I can test if it's working.
                                            For example, you could place your old pofo.zip back for a while.

                                            If you want to test it also, use this line (1058) with the added -m :

                                            python3 - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/$1 -m -P "$2"
