      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 :

          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.ini

          Unless you want to add more manually tested preliminary drivers.

              Update for mame 0.250 .

              Added updated handheld & plug&play data to the database.

              all_in1 data is the only data that is not yet fully updated and automated.

                  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.

                        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.

                          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.

                                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 :

                                Remember : you cannot ask for rom-links in the forum, it's not allowed.

                                  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?

                                        I saw a post about it on the mamedev forum, just recently.

                                        This is the wiki:
                                        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DECO_Cassette_System

                                        I added it in version 0251.01

                                          Those games are already in my Arcade folder. They also run well with lr-mame 2016. The 2 minutes counter is a pain in the ass .

                                            Indeed, they are not new but now they are now categorised.
                                            There are a few new multigame ones that will work without loading time :
                                            decodark
                                            decomult

                                            I think most slow loadable games are in there.
