      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?

          You can find the section/menu item "Systems: with extra options" over here : 1663431603837-2022-09-17-181420_1600x900_scrot.png

          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/ddbcf189c9852c8ef5140a881eb376bd5787dbb3
            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.
