Here is the file :

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

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

[Folly]

@dteam

Yes I do ! , it gives just that touch ;-)

Shall we replace it on google drive ?

[DTEAM]

@folly
Yes, I'll do it

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 :

@dteam

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.

@folly
I found this for Backdrop

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/22306/update-docs-for-lr-mame2003-plus-artwork-backdrops-bezels/8?_=1631895075858

See: two last post

@dteam

Thanks,

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.

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!

@dteam

Can you put in a file for me so I can test it too ?

Can you put first a dummy "videopin.zip" onto the google drive ?
And after I acknowledge, the real one ?

[DTEAM]

@folly
I put an arcade "artwork"
look for berzerk.zip

[Folly]

@dteam

Got it.
You can now update berzerk
