        Did you have some time to look at the astrocmd.zip artfile I changed ?
        Over here :
        https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HQKNcrzR7AC7y4FShFT7N1hr0QHb-Gq1

        FYI, I kept the original file in it but changed both bezels connecting ultimately to mame and lr-mess to get them in sync with the latest retroarch etc.
        I would appreciate if you could add it to your gdrive if you agree.

        Let me know.

        Btw nice to see that there is something new to add to 0262.
        It will be our 3 years annivesary edition ;-)

        done!

          I am planning on changing where the background and bezel overlays are stored now.
          I want to move them from :
          /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay
          to :
          ~/RetroPie/roms/<system>/media/retroarch/<overlays_or_bezels)

          Do I have to do something for this on the GDrive with your microvsn and vectrex folders?

            No, these are backups.
            Might use them in the future again, not sure yet.

            Btw. Thanks for adding the astrocmt artwork file.

              @Folly thank you for the detailed explanation! I will just wait patiently and add them once it is fully integrated into the script, there is no rush such that I would need to do the manual stuff.

                Sorry to ask
                Now I think I know why mine won’t boot
                The install script for CTVboy
                Driver?

                Where is it and what’s it called?
                I’m just trying to launch using arcade emulator config
                That has to be why

                The install is located where ?
                What’s the name?

                Thank you

                    Yes I’m not the best at getting my point across a lot

                    Sorry

                    To run ctvboy

                    Other than lr-mame update and roms folder
                    Do I need to ?

                    The emulator config is just standard Ir-mame command?

                    And the ctvboy driver is installed with the mame update correct?

                    Idk why I’m so lost on this one
                    I’m hoping to get it running

                    What’s the emulator config command?

                    And thank you so much !

                      ctvboy will work in the future with lr-mess but the recent one doesn't run it.
                      So I think the best way is to wait until the updates are in place.
                      Hope my answer is satisfying enough.

                            A tangent, and not too interesting for those of us who don't speak Japanese, but this is kind of fascinating. If the VCS was a barely-heard-of console, this thing is from Mars...

                                    @Folly do you know about how long it usually takes for the update to show up in the binary? I went to add Tiger Pit-Fighter today and when it didn't work saw I am still on .261, and that's still where the binary is. I tried to install from source and gave up after 6+ hours, decided I should just be patient.

                                        might be why I'm not getting ctvboy going I'll have to keep an eye out for updates

                                          If you do it from source it's recommended to edit the module-script and add more swap then it should probably compile within 6 hours with a PI4.
                                          Most of the time the binary is added within the first 10 days of a new release.
