Tutorial: Handheld and Plug & Play systems with MAME

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

Folly

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 :

This already gives an impression of how t3in1sa should look like :

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

~~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.

@DTEAM

Searched for the other one and found this :

Looked in the mame database and it seems it's not part of mame.

DTEAM

@Folly

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!

DTEAM

@Folly

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

Folly

@DTEAM

Super, looking good ;-)

DTEAM

@Folly

Systems added to the "all_in1" gamelist.xml file and to the MAME module-script generator:

MAME 0.278:

Jakks and classich gamelist updates will come soon.

Folly

@DTEAM

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.

Folly

@DTEAM

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

Folly

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.
This is the info up till now of what can be extracted, and more to come :
(predefined is not extracted btw.)
90º.ini
all_in1.ini (predefined)

This one is already in my list above and in my gamelist. Probably a missing one on your side. Good catch.

I think it should be removed.

Already verified . It's an arcade Bootleg. It's not the Color TV-Game Block Kuzushi from Nintendo

elektronikah.ini

For Elektronikah, I will have to create a new system in my theme and create a new gamelist.xml . It's on my to do list.

So it can be removed ?

@DTEAM

Not sure if you have these already in the classich category.
But my script found these 3 too :
dreamlif
dsgnwrld
playmaker

They seem to be valid ones.

Yes, I agree.

dreamlif -> all_in1
dsgnwrld -> all_in1
playmaker -> classich

Looked at it again.
When starting it does nothing.
Looks like it uses cartridges so I added one in the mame ui.
It kinda worked after a while.
Not sure now if we should add it.
I can filter on media so it will not be added.
What do you think.
