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.

I got my infos from here:

I'll test it tomorrow

New edit : works well on my side and looks like what presented here :

For 280 my awk script detected fxmcr165a for classich.
Can you check what needs to be added for all_in1 ?

When downloading the gamelists I noticed 2 error messages.

Can you have a look at those 2 files ?
Perhaps you can just open them and save them again to get good datetime tags in the file.

DTEAM

@Folly

Can you please try again. I replaced both files and the gamelist.

Folly

@DTEAM

For both files it seems to be fixed, however I now get the error on arcade10.mp4.
Might be that that one also has bad datetime tags.

DTEAM

@Folly

I deleted all the files and uploaded them again. Can you try it again please.

Folly

@DTEAM

I tried again (updating all) and still have this one error message :

It's a problem with Google Drive when you do the download and not the file itself. I'll try delete it again and copy it again. Do you remember the bug with Google Drive, To replace a file, we must delete it and upload it and not just overwrite it. Probably it's something like that. It's not the first time you have problems with the date time

Folly

@DTEAM

Yes I remember.
Though it seems you fixed it for the other files, makes me wonder ...

I looked at the date and time of the file and noticed when I copy the file to somewhere else something changes in the date and time,
You might want to try and copy the file to another location and then add that file to the gdrive, for instance.

I will try tomorrow evening again, perhaps that will also make a difference, I remember that we have had some issues with that also before.
