@Folly The 440 script, the one before the last one that has Hamsters and other games working...do you think that should be released to a broader public as a binary?
Not sure what you mean by this, for those who want it's already available using this project.
In the future lies the cd and hard drive stuff...
Right now I am busy with the scraper stuff.
If somehow I find it useful to do some tests again I will try it again.
But since it didn't work on the other drivers, chances are that it will have the same result.
So I don't want to waste my time on something that probably doesn't work, do you get it ?but for now, do you think a keyboard mapper to joypad could be done for the 440 version of the emulator? They seem to work well with the c64 and zxspectrum where you select keyboard, but you can use the analog selection below it and remap the keys to the joypad for individual games. It would be great to use a joypad for the archimedes.
I think there are possibilities, just find the best solution for yourself.
be well!! - Doug
be well too !

@Folly How do you switch disks in the Archimedes Emulator again? I don't see an option in the retroach menu...was it one of the function keys? I can't recall. The fuction keys seem to be taken over by MAME or hotkeys in the 440 version of the archimedes emulator.
Is it something where i have turn focus on and then use a function key to change a disk. I totally forgot. -
Just use the "tab" key for entering the mame-gui.
If it doesn't work or you can't find it then let me know. -

Because we are busy with improving the gamelists I also improved this :

I have improved my script with automating "handheld" list for the easy ones.
Only jak_sdoo is not in the list as it's a preliminary driver, so we should check this driver.I created a commit, that is relevant for mame 0.250, so we can easily pick out the new "good" drivers.
So we can test them and add necessary files to the google-drive. (artwork etc)Let me know what you think of it automating it this way.
Here it is :
https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/commit/f8e70bc5ab6c6cc19d07e32a266a6da65888816d -
I tested jak_sdoo and seems to be fine.
So I added code that will add our preliminary drivers, if they still exist in mame, and sort the list again.
jak_sdoo is added again.
So now we are up to date for :
gameandwatch.ini
jakks.ini
konamih.ini
tigerh.ini
tigerrz.iniUnless you want to add more manually tested preliminary drivers.

Yes I saw it, cool !
Also the binary in retropie is already updated to 251.Now we will be able to play the new handhelds.
I will have to wait for the progettosnaps updates, in order to update the database and the script.

I compare your classich drivers list from your first post vs my list and monkeygk and nstarfox are not in your list. Do you know if new roms are missing in our lists?
I will try to generate new mp4s with the background (for some handheld system) when I have time
-
My first post list isn't updated yet.
(I will probably update it when I have build up the new dorted list for mame 251)
Though I can see that nstarfox is already in my classich.ini .Is monkeygk an old driver ?
I don't see it in 250 and 251. -

I don't see it in 250 and 251.it's a clone of GNW_MMOUSE in Game and Watch from MAME 0.238. Not listed anymore. I'm gonna delete it.

Everything is updated to mame0251.
I also did the driver links in post 1.Edit :
Damn, I made a mistake ;-(
I used the wrong in files !
I have to rebuild the database again. -
I hope everything is ok now.
For those who did already an update to mame0251, please update again, within the script, to update to the latest database.

@Folly Can you provide me THE link again to re-dl the latest archimedes and gsplus versions that work with mame?

The rompacks, you talk about, should be op to date and you should already have them.
Check this out, and you will see what is updated or not :

I tested the latest version of your script and it works like a charm!

Thanks,
I tried to improve the filter on the deco_cassette system because I wanted to filter out the bios file.
Sadly the "not" filter doesn't work properly.
Assuming it has something to do with using it on the array which gives a different output than normal.Not really a big problem so I leave it as it is.
I will add the bios name in the gamelist as :
ZZZ(notgame):BIOS
This will place the file down in the list, just as other, not game detected, files. -

I never heard about that one, i'll try it this week! Is it arcade games on cassette?
