Will have a look at these artwork files.

BTW.
Just to let you know I have some basic awk script stuff running.
It was a bit of getting used to but until now it's awesome and I am really impressed by it.
This is what it already gives when adding the driver as option :

:~/awk$ bash awk.sh nupogodi
Driver□nupogodi□Nu, pogodi!□bootleg (Elektronika)@good@elektronikah@
:~/awk$ bash awk.sh tapollo13
Driver□tapollo13□Apollo 13 (Tiger)□Tiger Electronics@good@tigerh@
:~/awk$ bash awk.sh jak_disf
Driver□jak_disf□Disney Friends (JAKKS Pacific TV Game, Game-Key Ready) (17 MAY 2005 A)□JAKKS Pacific Inc @imperfect@jakks_gamekey_dy@jakks@
:~/awk$ bash awk.sh bassmate
Driver□bassmate□Bassmate Computer□Telko @good@gameandwatch@
:~/awk$ bash awk.sh gnw_ball

I did not have any issues here.
Hopefully it will be solved.

I have also news about the drivers that use samples.
I found that the sample files found on progettosnaps have more or less different names than the drivers that use them.
So my old list did not match real drivers.
I found a way to match the samples to the drivers that use them.
So the old incorrect list was supposedly 79 drivers.
The correct and new list will be containing 312 drivers.

I temporarily solved my audio problem by adding this to my /opt/retropie/configs/mame/mame.ini file. :

# OSD SOUND OPTIONS
#
sound                     portaudio
audio_latency             2

~~I'll try the other options.~~ Only portaudio works for me. The new thing on MAME is wasapi, but it doesn't work on a Pi.

FROM MAME 0.278 Documentation:

I have updated the script and the database.

@DTEAM
I have update the database, partly in the new way with the AWK script and I added the categories from progettosnaps on top of it.
The data is probably OK but can you do some checks too ?

Edit:
278.01/278.02 fixes the rom link issue.

Folly

The 279 binaries have been added.

A question to all users :

Who is still using old binaries from the gdrives ?
I probably want to remove quite a lot in the near future.
Let me know !

DTEAM

@Folly

I only use the most recent binary.

Here's the roms list for MAME 0.279

Before 0.279

Do you see more roms with your new tool?

For 0.278, I'll add the one's you identified for All_in1, but for the classich games, I'm waiting for the artworks. For playmaker, I can't get the Artwork. Does it exist?

NEW EDIT: My sound bug is now fixed with MAME 0.279

Ok, thanks for the info.

Seems old binaries aren't used otherwise someone would have replied.
I will backup the old binaries and remove them from the gdrives to get room for new stuff.

Will have a look if I have the time to do so.

Edit :
No new ones detected.

@DTEAM

I updated the script and database to 279.
I managed to make the database in 20 min on my m1 mac.
There is no progettosnaps data in the new database.
