        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.

                      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.
                            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"

                                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 ?

                                    You can now update berzerk

                                        Too bad, the file isn't updated.

                                        It could depend on the time difference.
                                        Perhaps it's a good idea to leave the file on google drive, so I can test tomorrow again.

                                        Good idea ?

                                          Google wrote "file with no data"
                                          I did another dummy.

                                            Ok I will try again.

                                            I looked in the log and the file isn't updated.
