      @bbilford83 I would love to see casio game & watch and handhelds reproduced, like western bar or drunken sheriff ;)

      Sorry I missed this before. Can't help you there though, I am as amateur as they come with this stuff :). I will say looking up info about these handhelds made me realize that the percentage of them we have emulated is a teeny drop in the bucket. It's amazing how many were made.

                            For Double Dragon II: The Revenge, I'm waiting the tddragon2 artworks from here . The gamelist is incomplete for now for this game.

                            You can use Folly script to install that gamelist.

                                  I'm assuming the Mame set has not been issued yet?

                                      Thanks, I updated and updated MAME but they boot back. Do I need to add the Datfile somewhere as well? I seen pi didn't say MAME had an update, so am I trying to0 early perhaps?

                                        Thanks, I updated and updated MAME but they boot back.

                                        Run mame with verbose mode and check the /dev/runcommand.log .
                                        Then you can find what's wrong.

                                        Do I need to add the Datfile somewhere as well?

                                        No

                                        I seen pi didn't say MAME had an update, so am I trying to0 early perhaps?

                                        You should check your version of mame.
                                        Run a game that still works and use "tab" to go into the UI and check "about".
                                        Or check your /dev/runcommand.log after trying to run a game in mame with verbose mode, this might also reveal the version.

                                        If you have an old version, like 0253, and you recently updated the binary via the RetroPie-Setup then there is no new version for the original RetroPie image available.
                                        If so, then this is due to the underlying older linux operating system which cannot run newer compiled mame binaries or canniot compile newer mame source-code anymore.
                                        That would mean that you are stuck with using old roms and an old version of mame unless you create a new linux image, with a newer OS, by yourself with installing RetroPie on top of it.

                                        If you still can't find a solution then I recommend you open a new help thread.

                                            Thanks for looking,

                                            Strange that I overlooked some.
                                            I think the new classich ones are not automatically detected will have a look next time.,..

                                            Databases for 274 and 275 should be OK now.
