      Perhaps we can ditch .7z,

      I disagree on this one. .7z files are smaller than .zip and this gives a big advantage for storage. Let the user choose and keep both in the game list files.

        Yes , I agree with you we should keep .7z also.

          @Folly OK, I understand. I know I'm not typical in using the "parse gamelist only" setting. I'll edit in duplicate entries for all the gamelists with .7z instead of .zip.

          Edit: Done. All four gamelist.xml files now have .7z in them too. I left the original gamelists in there too renamed to say "(no .7z)" in the filename. You can remove them if you want but I thought maybe you'd want to leave them if people preferred that version. I understand it might overcomplicate things though.

            @bbilford83 I would love to see casio game & watch and handhelds reproduced, like western bar or drunken sheriff ;)

            Sorry I missed this before. Can't help you there though, I am as amateur as they come with this stuff :). I will say looking up info about these handhelds made me realize that the percentage of them we have emulated is a teeny drop in the bucket. It's amazing how many were made.

                                Updating the script will also update the database.

                                  For Double Dragon II: The Revenge, I'm waiting the tddragon2 artworks from here . The gamelist is incomplete for now for this game.

                                  You can use Folly script to install that gamelist.

                                        I'm assuming the Mame set has not been issued yet?

                                          The latest set that has been issued is 273.
                                          Search for : "MAME Sets & Datfiles"

                                            MAME Sets & Datfiles

                                            Thanks, I updated and updated MAME but they boot back. Do I need to add the Datfile somewhere as well? I seen pi didn't say MAME had an update, so am I trying to0 early perhaps?
