      I have made some pictures, but it's quite difficult to get a good result.
      The biggest problem is that the screen reflects images as a mirror and I have to have good light with good white background.

      I am hoping to get some better results !

      This is my best image up till now (reduced quality and size for upload) :

        Today I made a great picture and used gimp to get it even better.
        Still have to do the zoom version.

        This is how it looks like ?
        I already edited the artwork layout for this one :
        (Do you like it too ?)

          Very nice!
          You should add a small drop Shadow effect (#5). You will have a deepness effect for the screen (more realistic). Where can I get it!!!

            Don't know how to add the small drop shadow effect.
            Can you add it ?

                      Very nice!!! Do you like the drop shadow effect? I think it gives a realistic touch

                              Perfect.

                              We should test if the old file is going to be updated.
                              I think it has to be removed first.

                              That could be an issue.

                              Edit :
                              I tested it and the file wasn't updated.

                              I added the issue on github :

                                I would like you to add the artwork for videopin for mame .
                                It's described here :
                                https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/31255/atari-video-pinball-backdrop

                                Artwork :
                                https://www92.zippyshare.com/v/9Gp7lzW5/file.html

                                It comes from "mame202artworkall".
                                Perhaps there is more, in there, that can be added.

                                Though, for lr-mess there isn't a solution yet.

                                    Looked at the links but could not find a videopin backdrop overlay.

                                      For Google Drive issues, would it be easier if I put everything on GitHub?

                                        Let's wait for Matt first, perhaps he can improve his script.

                                        But indeed github could be a better way in the long run.

                                        There are some advantages like :

                                        • forking
                                        • easy collaborating
                                        • perhaps skipping files when cloning for an update

                                        But there could also be some downsides :

                                        • how much data will we have in the future and what is the data-limit of github ?
                                        • I think cloning doesn't work when we add files manual locally because it wants to sync with the repository. So testing files on the harddrive becomes more difficult.
                                        • Perhaps we also face some ownership issues

                                        We can do some tests with a few files and see how it works.

                                          Matt changed his script and added the option -m or --mtimes.
                                          link

                                          I added this in my script (not on github yet).

                                          It's downloading all again now, just as Matt explained.
                                          When I am ready we have to change 1 file and revert it back to test if this solution works.

                                          Edit:
                                          It has downloaded now.
                                          Tried to download everything again and now it said that the files exist.
                                          Looking good, so far !

                                          So now you can throw in an different file with the same name and I can test if it's working.
                                          For example, you could place your old pofo.zip back for a while.

                                          If you want to test it also, use this line (1058) with the added -m :

                                          python3 - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/$1 -m -P "$2"

                                            It seems to work well!
