This is an early test on jakks how we could do that.
Here I use the completed sorted database.
Goal is to do it with the unsorted data before I create the sorted database 250 file.
cat /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame0249_systems_sorted_info|grep jak_|cut -d " " -f2|while read driver;do [[ $(/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listxml $driver|grep "emulation="|cut -d" -f4) == good ]] && echo $driver;done

jak_hmpt and also jakms41 are not tested yet. I'm going to add them to my to-do list too! -

Yes it is, see the latest list :https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/blob/main/00-databases-00/sorted_info_creation/0XXX/jakks.ini
jak_hmpt and also jakms41 are not tested yet. I'm going to add them to my to-do list too!
Is most likely not a JAKKS game :
Driver jakms41 (KM-S4-1 VER 1.1): @business_terminal@computer@non-arcadeCurious about jak_hmpt.
Good luck with testing ;-) -
@Folly
jak_hmpt = Hannah Montana Pop Tour - Guitar Video Game (JAKKS Pacific TV Game)Kind of guitar hero.

Great to hear !
I am busy with generating the new ini files.
They are almost done, took the whole day to create them.
Curious what comes out of them.
The jakks should appear. (edit : they are already there) -

Hey everyone,
I successfully added Konami Handheld, Tiger Handheld and Jakks. Having two problems with Classic Handheld. 1) I can't scrape using either scrapper. Says the platform isn't defined. Even though I used this:
<name>classich</name> <fullname>Classic Handheld Systems</fullname> <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/classich</path> <extension>.mgw .MGW .7z .zip</extension> <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ classich %ROM%</command> <platform>classich</platform> <theme>classich</theme></system>
More importantly, the games won't launch. I copied the artwork into the artwork folder (even though not every rom file had a corresponding artwork file). Below is the verbose log:

I think it's because.
You have to load Madrigals roms (.mgw) with lr-gw.
Btw. madrigals don't need artwork.Mame roms from "mame-merged" have to be loaded with mame or lr-mess.
They will run without artwork but with artwork they will look how they should.Don't mix them up.
(efootb4.zip is a mame rom so you have to load it with mame or lr-mess) -
@Folly ahh, thank you Folly. That did the trick! They are now playable. I appreciate the help as always!
Regarding the scrapping problem. Any suggestions there? Hard to find the video snaps manually on those.
Thanks.

Are there ways to speed up the emulation on a game like Let's TV Play Classic- Namco Nostalgia 2? it's in my game and watch plug and play folder and uses Mame. It's rather sloooow.

@duglor
With a Pi 4, if you select Mame autoframeskip basename in the blue menu (when the game load), it will run at fullspeed. On my Pi, it works well.
