@Folly here are my scrapes i made for CTVBoy only missing video until I get system working, but I think you should like the scrapes you can grab it here

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...

https://mega.nz/file/0A9V1bbK#wSGU5qCFAhLTG_Y9iSQmFMdL4zD-_HfPOXMWUXX21F8I'll do a system for my theme today
NEW EDIT: Done!

@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.

@DTEAM Thank you for that glad i now have the art
also "Double Dragon II: The Revenge and Mighty Max"
what's the game zips name? in newest MAME ? -
@bbilford83 I'm getting it to work in Mame but not the retroarch mame / I updated both
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. -

what's the game zips name? in newest MAME ?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_rpi4.7zBtw :
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. -

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. -

You should ask @DTEAM, as he did put them in that category.I agree it's fairly tough to categorize... some of the VFDs in Classich had a few different colors too :). I guess to me just having a whole bunch of games on one handheld makes it more like allin1 but I understand it either way.
By the way, kind of random but my other (much bigger) hobby is collecting vintage Japanese watches, and going through the classic handhelds that aren't emulated made me learn that Citizen Watch Company (the one that, along with Seiko, are the biggest/oldest in Japan) actually made Game and Watch knockoff handhelds. They aren't dumped/emulated yet so I bought a couple, kind of fun to have my worlds collide. My wife lost her cell phone last week and I actually loaned her one to be her morning alarm :).
