      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 ?
