      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"

                  It seems to work well!

                    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 ?

                        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.

                                Ok I will try again.

                                I looked in the log and the file isn't updated.

                                  Can you keep the dummy file for a while on google-drive ?

                                  I will test again tomorrow.

                                      Is it working for you now or didn't you test ?

                                      Have to go now.
                                      Thanks for the effort ;-)

                                        Instead of replace it by dragging I have deleted it and reloaded it. So now it's not version 1 or 2 (like Google Drive wrote), it's a new file. Is it change something on your side?

                                          I tried now (it's now 22 sept 7:49 on my clock).
                                          It worked.

                                          Perhaps we have to try your trick again and see if this works instandly.
                                          We can test around the same time as yesterday.

                                            I replaced the artwork file (berzerk.zip) by a new dummy with different content inside.
