      The example you gave also had a space which was removed.
      Did you try this ? :
      gameandwatch_DonkeyKong(Multi Screen) = "lr-gw"

        It only works for games with no space in there names. I don't know whaat to do with games like : gameandwatch_Donkey Kong (Multi Screen)="lr-gw"
        it only works for games with a single name like : gameandwatch_Egg="lr-gw"
        Any idea @folly @mitu

        Easy - start the game and choose your emulator from the runcommand launch menu, then see how it's stored in the .cfg file. Or look-up the function that does the name substitution - it's here.

          Donkey Kong (Multi Screen)

          The function clean_name gives :
          DonkeyKongMultiScreen

          So this should work :
          gameandwatch_DonkeyKongMultiScreen = "lr-gw"

            Yes, it works now. Thanks
            See here on my drive
            File name : emulators.cfg

            To place in : /opt/retropie/configs/all/

            It's very usefull for classich and gameandwatch with MADrigal romset.

              If I have time tomorrow I will look at it.
              Also busy with changing the "lr-gw" install.
              Hopefully I can implement before Sunday because next 2 weeks I don't have any time.

                  I can only download folders containing files with my function.
                  Theoretically it's possible to download only 1 file with the gdrivedl.py script however the fileurl is unknown.
                  Therefor the best solution is to just put the file in a separate folder without any other files.
                  Can you do that for me ? Not needed anymore, I placed the file in my repository.

                    There is no tutorial for installing fmtowns using my script.
                    You can find some older stuff, that might be useful, over here :
                    https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/27806/tutorial-fujitsu-fm-towns-marty-with-lr-mess
                    https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/27806/tutorial-fujitsu-fm-towns-marty-with-lr-mess/45
                    We also discussed these systems in this thread, for example, over here :
                    https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/28345/old-computer-appreciation-thread/1268

                    Basically it's just like any other install.
                    However some software does need more ram so I have added installer lines for fmtowns and fmtmarty in my section Systems: with extra options.
                    My advice is install these ones.

                    After that it's just a matter of adding the correct bios files.
                    You can check the /dev/shm/runcommand.log for the missing bios files after a failed run.

                    You should open a new thread reserving your fist post for a summarize on how to install things using my script.
                    That would be a good addition to this thread.

                      Your "Systems: with extra options thread?" meaning this thread here? starting from the top?

                        My advise is just to make a new thread, just like you did over here :
                        https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/33956/fujitsu-fm-towns-marty
                        ( or just use that thread )

                          I changed the lr-gw install significantly as I wasn't happy about how it was earlier on.
                          Now the install basically works just like the install lines for mame/lr-mess/lr-mame and so the binary install will now also possible.
                          On top of the regular install I added the patches described in the commit.
                          I don't expect huge issues as I tested it, partly, myself.
                          However I want to ask you if you can test it too ?

                          Btw. I have added the emulators.cfg to my repository, that way I can do the download in proper way.

                          These are the commits :
                          https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/commit/3e0609072780b0bf8a26a34f0f829110e5502298

                          Fix emulators.cfg (correct clean_names) :

                              Update :

                              The database and the add-mamedev-systems.sh are updated to match mame0252.

                              I also added a W.I.P. version called mamedev.sh.
                              This version differs from the add-mamedev-systems.sh.
                              Rather then generating and installing the generated module-scripts like add-mamedev-systems.sh does,
                              mamedev.sh will install systems directly without generating and installing module-scripts.
                              This script is also cleaned up a bit and installing a system works faster.
                              However, since this version doesn't generated module-scripts,
                              systems can't be removed by selecting the module-script from the experimental packages.
                              That's why it's a W.I.P. (Work In Progress) version.
                              So keep in mind, removing a system has to be done manually.

                              Without interfering each-other both versions can be added in :
                              /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/ext/RetroPie-Share/scriptmodules/supplementary

                              For the mamedev.sh script you can use the same install procedure as mentioned in post 1.
                              Just used the name mamedev.sh instead.

                                Hi @DTEAM,

                                How is it going, everything ok ?

                                Today I installed channelf and noticed that there is no media when downloading the gamelist for channelf.

                                Is it gone or has it never been added ?

                                I also found that the games are not properly sorted in emulationstation.
                                I would like to change the range Videocart-1 - Videocart-9 to :
                                Videocart-01 - Videocart-09
                                Adding the zero makes sure that the games are properly sorted in the list of emulationstation.

                                  I deleted it because it's now available on Screenscraper and the result is better with that site. Sorry, I forgot to mention it.

                                  New Edit: Maybe I added some missing videos. If it's the case, I'll put those media on the drive

                                    I tested channelf with retroscraper and the result was very good.
                                    So I agree, we don't need the predefined gamelist anymore.

                                    I suggest removing the whole directory channelf so there is no misunderstanding about whether there is or isn't a full gamelist+media set.

                                    Do you agree ?

                                          Very strange that they are still not added.

                                          New classich = Bandai Race Time

                                          I will update the database when https://www.progettosnaps.net/ is updated. Curious if "Bandai Race Time" is added when I do an update on the classich.ini.

                                          Btw did you try the nabupc of 0.252.
                                          I did, but you have to run a server program locally.
