It's here :

But you have it already.
It's the gamelist from @testudo .

Or you can install every thing from add-systems-mamedev.

How come you are less frequent on the forum ?
Busy with other stuff ?

Yes, I'm pretty busy with other stuff. My contribution is pretty done now for Retropie and I'm waiting for the official Retropie with Bull's-eye on it. If new additions come with new MAME versions, I'll add them to my theme or/and to the Google Drive.

@DTEAM

I get it.

Though if you want to do something.
For tigerh tmegamen3 is probably going to be released in 250.
Would you like to add it to the theme / gamelist / artwork ?

I added it to the tigerh.ini when the new mame comes out so it can be added.

You can find the basic artwork here :https://forums.bannister.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=97003&page=403

@DTEAM

Can you convert the bg.jpg and add a Background.png for lr-mess ?

DTEAM

@Folly

On that link, they put new artworks for systems like Nstarfox . I'll double check if we are missing something.

nstarfox

I see it's already supported by 249.
Should that one be in classich ?

DTEAM

@Folly

Yes, it should go there. For Background.png with tmegaman3.zip, it's done.

DTEAM

@Folly
nstarfox.zip (artworks) is now on the GoogleDrive with Background.png

Folly

@DTEAM

Nstarfox is added to the 249 database.
You have to update the script+database.

I only found one other new game in the list. This is (Tiger Castlevania II: Simon's Quest) tsimquest.zip. See here

NEW EDIT: Now on the Google Drive

I cleaned up the Gamelist file, replaced some low-res images, added entries and images for more games. Feel free to add the update to the project. Link to the new file is updated in the original post.

Quick question, when we show artworks for a system in a theme, we have the possibility to show a marquee, an action scene picture and a box (sometime combined) or a marquee, a video and a box for a single game.
Why when I use only one video (in cygnus blue flames), automaticly, the rest of the list show a blank grey default video screen even if I put pictures of an action scenes in jpg for the other games.

When you use one video, it set it by default for the rest of the list. How we can change that? This is worst for the all games list or favorites.

@DTEAM We could also try to get thegamesdb and skyscraper to put archimedes pix and metadata on their sites...............

@DTEAM @Folly Hi! I've started working on a script to import your gamelists, but it seems that I have some xml errors, at least in the one I tried (all_in_one)... you use '&' a couple of times, which is not an accepted xml character standalone (should be '&'). Just saying, as some XML parsers will fail because of this, not sure if emulationstation will fail to read it though.

I'm not really familiar with theme design in ES, but if you think this is a bug, open a separate topic and add the version you're using and the gamelist that's producing this issue.

Unfortunately, they have pretty high standards and I'm not an artist. They use boxes art instead of the handheld consoles pictures. For videos, it could be good. Maybe somebody will take that as a project someday, but for now, our Google Drive is the alternative.
