      @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.

        Thanks.

        Use Folly scipt to install that or Get the files here (for Classic) and put that in your classich rom folder. It should be ok

        For more systems, same approach.

              If you select my hyperlink, they are already there + videos
              Did you use Folly script?

              If yes, @Folly , it’s probably the same overwriting problem than the last time. I will delete and upload the files again on the driver.

                    Are there ways to speed up the emulation on a game like Let's TV Play Classic- Namco Nostalgia 2? it's in my game and watch plug and play folder and uses Mame. It's rather sloooow.

                      With a Pi 4, if you select Mame autoframeskip basename in the blue menu (when the game load), it will run at fullspeed. On my Pi, it works well.

                        Thanks for this tutorial.
                        I have done all the steps, but didn't manage to get it working.
                        I also used the script generator and did all the steps.
                        I have put the roms in the gameandwatch folder, the artwork in the suggested folder
                        ( \bios\mame\artwork )

                        But it doesn't show up between my other systems in the retropie home menu.
                        I thought maybe it's because in the etc\emulationstation\es_systems.cfg file
                        under gameandwatch, -> extension it says .mgw .MGW
                        So I've added .zip to the mix, but no joy.

                        Or do I need to add the gameandwatch also here in this file :
                        /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation\es_systems.cfg

                        Or is it simply because there's no gamelist under
                        /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists ?

                        Hopefully you can help me with is.
                        Probably a simple solution, I guess.
                        Thanks in advance.

                        Greetings,

                              No. If so, I've never seen it before.

                                    @DTEAM Sorry to trouble you. If there is such a thing, do you have a way i can find a mame that works with retropie that supports mame 0.182 or after? That's when the driver i'm looking at was perfected. It could be any mame after that...the earlier the better i guess for speed and taxing of the retropie.

                                    I only need to find a version that supports the Winning Run series of 4 arcade racers

                                    This handheld update is great ! Thank you so much! -Doug

                                      You can get MAME 0.254 in Retropie update -> experimental

                                        @DTEAM Does Winning Run and it's 3 sequels run in the lastest download for lr-Mame? If you know? That's the .254 in there? the latest update to the lr-Mame?

                                        I think i'll make a bezel /overlay for Let's Play TV Namco 2. Where should I upload that to see if you'd like to share that with folks?

                                        Is the mame team or yourself planning on supporting some of the Casio Watch games like the rare Casio Western Bar CG-300 LCD game made in 1984 ?
                                        Be well and thanks for the zillions of fun times you've let many of us have thanks to your efforts! -Doug

                                          @DTEAM The new lr-Mame i got in experimental does not run Winning Run. It bumps back to ES. Do you or anyone out there know of any mame i can download for the retropie that will run
                                          Winning Run
                                          Winning Run 91
                                          Winning Run Suzuka GP and
                                          Driver's Eyes?

                                            I never use lr-mame, I always use MAME without libretro (standalone version). Maybe lr-MAME is not up to date.

                                            according to @Folly,
                                            https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/29682/development-of-module-script-generator-for-lr-mess-lr-mame-and-mame-standalone/1363?_=1683718839428

                                            The binaries of lr-mame and lr-mess are still on 0.251 and MAME standalone last version is 0.254
