Nice CD32/Amiga1200, however I think they run too slow on mame.
Will have a look on the pi5 how it performs though.
Just share, you never know what the future might bring.For now Amiberry seems to be the best emulator.

Found some info on thewindowsclub regarding the gdrive quota :
What does ‘Download quota exceeded’ mean in Google Drive?
This problem may be alien to some people, so let us explain first exactly what this issue refers to. Generally, users are free to upload, download and share data on Google Drive, but that is subjected to a quota, a limit regarding your downloads. So, if a substantially large number of people download a file uploaded on the drive, that file will be blocked from being downloadable any further after a limit. The reason is to minimize potential abuse.The time period for which the file is locked depends upon the traffic it receives.
It is typically 24 hours but can vary.Edit :
Matt has added a --continue-on-error option so it can proceed with files that can be downloaded.
However then you don't know which file is updated and which file is not.
So I probably will not implement it.
Hopefully the limit will not be exceeded too many times.
I might have to add a warning message.
For now I don't do anything. -

Full disclosure, I was using lr-puae :). I should've realized mame would probably be slower with it. On lr-puae only one game was slow but I fixed it by underclocking the CPU -40% (I read this on a forum post, it apparently doesn't break anything).
Edit: I jinxed myself I guess, both the CD (chd) and Floppy (lha) versions of Flink run horribly no matter what I do. Frameskip and underclocking help but I still wouldn't consider it playable. That's the only game like that for me so far though, and it looks like I'm not the only one (see here). At least there's the Sega CD version.
Edit 2: I was dumb and hadn't checked the retropie documentation first, using lr-puae2021 (which is recommended for rpi) everything runs way faster and I haven't had to underclock or frameskip at all. I'm having to retest everything I did before but everything's beautiful now.

@DTEAM I want to say love the video adds to it. as i finally got it working, i noticed a small error i did in the game list, the system came out Oct. 1983 and I have put 1990 :( in it should at least read.
<releasedate>19831002T000000</releasedate>
so, it shows October of 1983 sorry about this, I just noticed it last night.with only 6 games, it should be an easy adjustment. my apologies

I'm working on the box images. It will be "marquee, box and video" for CTVBoy. I'll do the date switch. Good catch -
Some information about an inactive google account :
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/12418290?hl=enGoogle is then able to delete files.
While our drives are always active and will not suffer from this it's good to know that we need to have backups, just in case. -

Great !
I have played all the games a bit.
Although there aren't many games they are really enjoyable, I must say. -
The mame libretro core has been bumped to 0262 :
https://github.com/libretro/mameWill have a look at the binaries and or creating them next week.

Same thing for me. Some games aren't that bad, even good for the time!

@DTEAM the updated art and gamelist in g drive, by chance? looks good

@bbilford83 what emulator are you using to Launch the .CHD?
I can get mess to launch ISO files (some) but no luck on the CHD
are you using Mame?
I tried but with no luck, unless I need to do an installer from the script?
Thanks -
@DTEAM Nice Thanks!

ThanksCan you clarify which system you're asking about? If fmtmarty, I installed that from the script and I think that was it. I do remember one of them I had to add .chd and .CHD to the filetypes in the es_systems.cfg but I don't think it was that one.

I just added my own compiled lr-mess0262 on the gdrive :
lr-mess_0.262_arm7l_gcc8_rpi4.7z
I used my database to extract all the drivers to try and create a full mess.flt (filter).
I used this code to do that :cat /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame0262_systems_sorted_info |grep non-arcade|cut -d" " -f2|while read line;do /opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -listsource $line|sed s'/.* //g';done >> mess.ftl.txt cat mess.ftl.txt |sort|uniq > mess.fltAnd added the mess.flt to the source code instead of the original.
So the compiled lr-mess will, hopefully, have all non-arcade drivers.
I also patched the fujitsu/fmtowns.cpp for fmtmarty so the popmessage will not appear.
As a test I also tried and ran videoart with succes.
Remember videoart did not work in 260 and 261 as it was not added/part of the mess.flt.So can you test the binary and let me know what you think of it ?

Yes, this worked! For both videoart and cameltry on fmtmarty. Impressive!
But this means if I update to .263 eventually, both will stop working right, no?

@bbilford83 I believe that was it, if I didn't add CHD it think it wouldn't show those file types
fmtmarty was the one I'm referring to.
ill check to be sure, I did install it from a script

Theoretically, yes.
I have to look at what drivers aren't implemented in the original mess.flt to know.
But basically it's not that hard to patch so I will try to do that for the future binaries.
The fmtmarty edit can also be applied to mame standalone, -

Hi Folly, are you able to run a CD systems like CDI, NeoCD or VIS without the "basename" option with MAME standalone 0.261. I always have a bus error
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1319: 3449 Bus errorI'm using a Pi4.
Hi @mitu , the line 1319 referred to dev/tty . Is it an issue like the one described in that post ?. This issue, on my side, is only for .chd files with MAME and Lr-Mess. Is it easy to fix? Same issue with MAME 0.262
