      I finalized "classich". I have deleted some images because it was a handheld picture over a handheld video (artwork) and it was ugly.
      8 videos are missing :
      Chicky Woggy (Table Top)
      Donkey Kong Jr (Tabletop Coleco)
      Donkey Kong Jr (Tabletop Nintendo)
      Hippo Teeth (Sporty)---> missmatch video
      HotLine (Mini)
      HotLine (Sporty)
      Packri Monster
      Snoopy (Tabletop)

        Ok I will have a look when I can.
        I have been busy with creating a new classich.ini list.
        Hope I get a good list now as it is quite difficult.

          The provider bit is good enough (and you actually showed the one I took inspiration from... the only additional tag would be 'type' for the system....

          I can add these myself but I'm not sure of which types are there or how the systems are called (other than the gamelist directory, which is my working assumption)

          I think not all info is available.
          And it seems genre isn't always the equivalent for type.
          We should think about that for a while.

            On TIGER artworks GDrive and KONAMI H artworks GDrive from Matthew Marino, they added more systems. I'll take a look on that too for our list and the last MAME romset .

              @Folly Makes sense, also analyzing next gamelist, apfm1000, first item is called backgamm.7z (or zip does not matter), but I have the impression that the file should be backgamn.7z (or zip, does not matter)...

              I cannot find a backgamm.zip rom except for the msx :-)

              is it possible to validate?

              Thanks!

                backgamm is correct, did a check :

                cat /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/hash/apfm1000.xml |grep back
                        <software name="backgamm" supported="no">
                				<rom name="backgmmn.bin" size="4096" crc="811c6269" sha1="f820334bb6df9b856f54f1957b60a5e70bdd6d7e"/>
                

                Is also in apfm1000.zip from mame-sl

                    I finalized "classich". I have deleted some images because it was a handheld picture over a handheld video (artwork) and it was ugly.

                    I think we both done a great job !

                    8 videos are missing :
                    Chicky Woggy (Table Top)
                    Donkey Kong Jr (Tabletop Coleco)

                    Hippo Teeth (Sporty)---> missmatch video
                    HotLine (Mini)
                    HotLine (Sporty)
                    Packri Monster
                    Snoopy (Tabletop)

                    I saw only 1 missing.
                    Perhaps I am missing roms.
                    Will have a look at that.

                        Did you see ?
                        For the new classich.ini there is really a lot of new stuff detected.

                          I saw that ... I don't see the end !!!!
                          I'll start with Tiger and Konami and jump on classich after .
                          For some classich (like PEngo) i'll try (in the far futur) to do a video with the backgrounds.

                            It's backgamm for the name and backgmmn.bin for the rom

                            see here

                                  @DTEAM sorry, didn't see that, so does this mean that you should be having as path backgmn.bin in the gamelist? Or am I missing something?

                                    Normally, we take the name to run the "basename"option in MAME . The bin file not always match with the "basename" used with MAME. I'm not at home, but i'll check later.

                                      Technically yes if you bypass the data base (option with no basename in the Folly script), but with MAME, normally you run a .zip., .7z or .chd (for some arcade or cd games) file.

                                        A path as you suggested is not needed.

                                        backgammn.bin is inside the archive.
                                        Normally you run the zip file with the basename loader or the cart loader, just as @DTEAM described.
                                        Only if you want to run the .bin file directly instead of the zip than you have to join the media and info to the .bin file also for displaying in the emulationstation.

                                          @DTEAM Thanks!!

                                          this is in the gamelist

                                          <path>./backgamm.7z</path>
                                          

                                          which means that if you do not have a rom called like that, it will not work (independently of it being supported or not).

                                          So maybe it is good to review the script and take that 'path' name from the rom tag:

                                          <rom name="backgmmn.bin" size="4096" crc="811c6269" sha1="f820334bb6df9b856f54f1957b60a5e70bdd6d7e"/>
                                          

                                          Without changing extensions or anything.

                                          Also, my script will not understand which rom this is about as it will not match any name like that (even without extension)

                                          Thanks, we're getting somewhere, slowly but surely.

                                            Sorry, but I really don't understand your last post.

                                            Mame has standardised the naming so if you find the correct romset it will always be ok.
                                            (all info is in the hash tables)
                                            There is simply no need to add the .bin file or the name backammn.

                                            Question :
                                            Have you found the mame-sl romset ?
                                            (I have send you an email)
