I removed bndarc from the classich database and in the scripts.
And updated the check_databases according to post 68 and 73.

unfortunately no

@Folly

gamelist.xml for classich has been updated on Google Drive. Game and Watch was already ok.

The list in post #2 has been updated too, according post 68

@dteam

This driver is missing :
Driver gnw_egg (Game & Watch: Egg):

Can you have a look, I think we can add it.

I tried in both mame and lr-mess .
Adding it to the script array will generate config files and background overlay for lr-mess.

@folly
Thanks. I added it.

Done!! No more missing videos + jak_sbjd done in gamelist.xml

@dteam

Super, I will update them.

@folly

In MAME 0.238 announcements we can read:
This release adds support for Fowling and Monkey Goalkeeper ,two more Elektronika hand-held games built around the Egg/Mickey Mouse Game & Watch program.

I'll add these two this week

The full Elektronika toy list is here

[Folly]

@dteam

Added in the database and in the front-end script.

@folly
"Fowling" is already covered by the MADrigal Romset. I'll add the MAME option in the Gamelist.xml.
These Handhelds will go in ClassicH

done. classih gamelist.xml is updated and the list in post #2

[Folly]

@dteam

I have them both working getting the .svg's from MAME - Update ROMs (v0.237 to v0.238)
I renamed im-13 of gnw-mmouse to im-16 (fowling) and im-22 (monkeygk) to get it working.
But probably we need the newer files later as the hashes of the binaries don't match.

Mame uses the gnw-mmouse artwork by default.
But when other artwork is available it will use that.
We have to look for that, or do you have it already ?

Here are some screenshots :
