            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 :

                      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 ?

                                        You can now update berzerk

                                            Too bad, the file isn't updated.

                                            It could depend on the time difference.
                                            Perhaps it's a good idea to leave the file on google drive, so I can test tomorrow again.

                                            Good idea ?
