        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.

                      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.

                            I think you warned me about that previously and I had forgotten. But I will just be patient and wait for the binary, even with my fan my pi was throwing heat warnings throughout the compiling and it makes me nervous...

                              Probably for the next update (MAME 0.263), not available at the moment

                                If the swap isn't enough it will stick on a certain point.
                                Heat warnings are not that dangerous if you didn't alter the warning temperature in the config.txt.
                                By default the cpu will throttle the cpu clock down so the temperature goes down.
                                The disadvantage is that the compiling will take much longer.

                                  I compiled it and placed it on the gdrive.
                                  Should be install-able from the script :
                                  mame_0.262_arm7l_gcc8_rpi4.7z

                                  Btw :
                                  I changed swap to 10240 in the module-script.
                                  I use an RPI4 8Gb so here ultimately about 2700 swap is really added.
                                  It took about 4:30 hours without using coolers and overclocking.

                                    Thank you very much @Folly! Forgive my ignorance but could you explain how I go about installing it?

                                    Edit: I realize now you mean through your script, I will give that a shot in a bit (TV I can do it on is being used ATM).

                                    Edit 2: Got it working, didn't even realize you can select old binaries to install on the script, that is neat! It also had me learn how to use standalone MAME for the art, I've only used lr-mame before in general :). Pit-Fighter sure is weird.

                                      @Folly I started to look at the two Brick Game handhelds and if you'd take some feedback, I am not entirely sure they really belong as "classich" rather than "allin1." They seem more like the bittboy and such, no? The brke23p2 one dates to 1993 and says it is 96 in 1. The "Echo Key" one I can't find an original publication year but it also looks much later than the classich ones, no? I think it is also a multiple-games-in-one kind of thing.

                                      @Retrodade if you are still looking for art for those two, I made some good transparency images. Here they are if you want them.

                                          Well, indeed it's kinda difficult to categorise precisely, though I think, because of the LC-display (no color) it's correct for classich.
                                          You should ask @DTEAM, as he did put them in that category.
