      I agree. I'll delete it from the list, but I'll keep it in the gamelist.xml because maybe they'll republish it one day. I didn't see a new name for that system.

      tbaskb is now tbaskb in the list above

      Good catch for Elektronika Autoslalom - auslalom Classich (added to the list above) . I'll update the gamelist.xml next week

        I found the code explaining that tbaskb is now drdunk over here :
        https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mame/handheld/hh_pic16.cpp#L43-L44
        So we should add drdunk instead.
        Could not test it yet but I assume it's correct.
        It's indeed good to keep tbaskb in the gamelist for backwards compatibility and, if it's correct, add drdunk too in the gamelist.xml.

        Yesterday I found a few more drivers will try them and let you know.

          These 3 also popped up :
          tcfball
          tcfballa
          vclock3

          I think the tcfball's could be added too.

          Will run a new script to see if the manufacturer of drdunk ( Kmart Corporation) has more drivers.

          Edit :
          These 2 could be added too I think :
          dunksunk
          t3in1sa

              Was pretty sure about that too so they are already in the database for 276
              except vclock3 off-course.

                Noticed that gnw_ball uses a plain Background.png for Retroarch overlay.
                We could use the ballbg.png or the ColorBG.png background from the artwork file instead.
                What do you think / prefer ?

                  I don't know. Go for the best one. If the coloured background is better, go for the coloured one. Good catch. Good catch. I only use MAME standalone and the MAME artworks format, so I never see the Retroarch backgrounds.

                    I prefer ballbg.png to be the Background.png.
                    Can you change that in your artwork file ?
                    Please keep the old Background.png as backup in your artwork file, might be handy some time.
                    You could call the old backup something like simplebg.png.

                      t3in1sa background should be exist, but I can't find it. Any chance on your side?

                        Will have look.
                        No luck yet to find the artwork files.

                        Could the artwork of t7in1ss be usable ?
                        Just checked but seems we don't have the artwork of t7in1ss.
                        And it doesn't match as it is from a different manufacturer :
                        https://handheldmuseum.com/Tiger/7in1.htm

                        This already gives an impression of how t3in1sa should look like :
                        https://my.handheldmuseum.com/Tandy/3in1.htm

                        cd46cbd1-dbd4-46cc-ac4f-ab21a33cf51d-966355506.jpg

                        Confusing but adb.arcadeitalia gives a different impression (however seems not correct) :
                        t3in1sa.png

                          The good one is the one from adb.arcadeitalia (the last picture). That version is a single player game.

                          New edit: Sorry, it's a 2 players game. First one is the good one

                            That cannot be the case or that driver is called differently.
                            This is how the t3in1sa driver looks without artwork.
                            It matches the other overlays.

                              Searched for the other one and found this :
                              https://www.handheldmuseum.com/Tandy/SportsArena.htm
                              Looked in the mame database and it seems it's not part of mame.

                                Systems added to the "classich" gamelist.xml file and to the MAME module-script generator:

                                Now we cover 160 classich games. That's a lot!

                                  FC Compact 88-in-1 (CC-SFFC-WT) (Japan) fccomp88 is now added to the All in 1 gamelist.xml file and to the MAME module-script generator

                                      Jakks and classich gamelist updates will come soon.

                                        I will check the all_in1 again.
                                        In my list I found tblkkuzug but it is an arcade driver and it also uses a .chd.
                                        Do you know how it got there ?
                                        I think it should be removed.

                                        Edit :
                                        All all_in1 drivers are in my list.
                                        Still waiting for progettosnap to update the database to 278.

                                          My new awk script also found a new driver for konamih :
                                          ktmntbb
                                          I think we should add it.

                                            This is now what I can extract from mame in less than an hour with the new awk script.
                                            This extraction normally took me about a day or so !
                                            It directly creates a database file and the inis can be extracted later.
