          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 ?

                                    look for berzerk.zip

                                      Got it.
                                      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 ?

                                            Google wrote "file with no data"
                                            I did another dummy.
