      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!!!

          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

                            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.

                                  Thanks,

                                  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"

                                            Can you put in a file for me so I can test it too ?

                                            Can you put first a dummy "videopin.zip" onto the google drive ?
                                            And after I acknowledge, the real one ?
