MAME 0.271 is released

265-in-1 Handheld Game (SPG2xx based) [David Haywood, TeamEurope] (All in 1)

I updated everything to 0271.
Again this was quite some work.
To give you an idea here I added a readme on how I do that (just scroll down):
https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/tree/main/00-databases-00/sorted_info_creation/0XXX
I also added this so others can join in if they want.

Hope everything works like expected.
Only the mame0271 aarch64 binary has been added to the gdrive
X86_64 binaries are still missing
lr-mess/lr-mame binaries are also still missing.
Will see if I have the time this week to add more binaries.

edit:
X86/X86_64 binaries have been added.

@Folly I'm considering adding FM Towns to my Pi 5 build. What would be the best steps to follow to get that set up?

I would start with installing the fmtowns from my script.
My script will add 6M of ram to the runcommand.
More ram will mean that games will run that need that extra ram.

Then get the bios roms and the chd's and place them in the correct folders.

If you want to test some others then you can also try :
Driver fmtowns (FM-Towns (Model 1 / 2)):
Driver fmtownsftv (FM-Towns II FreshTV):
Driver fmtownshr (FM-Towns II HR):
Driver fmtownsmx (FM-Towns II MX):
Driver fmtownssj (FM-Towns II SJ):
Driver fmtownsux (FM-Towns II UX):
Driver fmtownsv03 (FM-Towns (unknown, V03 L01 00 91/07/09)):
Driver fmtmarty (FM-Towns Marty):
Driver fmtmarty2 (FM-Towns Marty 2):
Driver carmarty (FM-Towns Car Marty):

For the fmtmarty's 4M will be added.
I believe carmarty has issues and no ram will be added by my script.

Up and running! Thank you!

I did notice that .chd and .cue/.bin seem to work okay but a .zip just hung on the FM Towns Marty screen.
