With the 5 new Jakks,
Have you the names of those roms, Did you test them?
-
@DTEAM well, now you got me thinking, lol you probably have them then but mine worked and I had no scrapes from them, so I assume sine i grabbed your gamelist and they aren't on that gamelist.
I decided to make these scrapes.. you can get the zip name from the game list text to add to a gamelist. here is the added text and the scrapes including video - let me know if these are "new working" -
@DTEAM i would record video for tiger handheld , i can't figure out how lol with MAME, screen shot took a while to hunt down lol

This is an early test on jakks how we could do that.
Here I use the completed sorted database.
Goal is to do it with the unsorted data before I create the sorted database 250 file.
cat /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame0249_systems_sorted_info|grep jak_|cut -d " " -f2|while read driver;do [[ $(/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listxml $driver|grep "emulation="|cut -d" -f4) == good ]] && echo $driver;done

Yes it is, see the latest list :https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/blob/main/00-databases-00/sorted_info_creation/0XXX/jakks.ini
jak_hmpt and also jakms41 are not tested yet. I'm going to add them to my to-do list too!
Is most likely not a JAKKS game :
Driver jakms41 (KM-S4-1 VER 1.1): @business_terminal@computer@non-arcadeCurious about jak_hmpt.
Good luck with testing ;-) -
@Folly
jak_hmpt = Hannah Montana Pop Tour - Guitar Video Game (JAKKS Pacific TV Game)Kind of guitar hero.

Great to hear !
I am busy with generating the new ini files.
They are almost done, took the whole day to create them.
Curious what comes out of them.
The jakks should appear. (edit : they are already there) -

the JAKKS gamelist is now updated -
Hey everyone,
I successfully added Konami Handheld, Tiger Handheld and Jakks. Having two problems with Classic Handheld. 1) I can't scrape using either scrapper. Says the platform isn't defined. Even though I used this:
<name>classich</name> <fullname>Classic Handheld Systems</fullname> <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/classich</path> <extension>.mgw .MGW .7z .zip</extension> <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ classich %ROM%</command> <platform>classich</platform> <theme>classich</theme></system>
More importantly, the games won't launch. I copied the artwork into the artwork folder (even though not every rom file had a corresponding artwork file). Below is the verbose log:

I think it's because.
You have to load Madrigals roms (.mgw) with lr-gw.
Btw. madrigals don't need artwork.Mame roms from "mame-merged" have to be loaded with mame or lr-mess.
They will run without artwork but with artwork they will look how they should.Don't mix them up.
(efootb4.zip is a mame rom so you have to load it with mame or lr-mess) -
@Folly ahh, thank you Folly. That did the trick! They are now playable. I appreciate the help as always!
Regarding the scrapping problem. Any suggestions there? Hard to find the video snaps manually on those.
Thanks.
