Good effort, lots of nice new images!

Sega Pico = PICO.gsc

If anyone is interested in the Watara Supervision, there is a playable WIP core and name would be Supervision.gsc

Good man!

Just spotted this I have added to the sheet, new Czech computer in bound to Main:
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3534
https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/OndraSP ... r/releases

One very low hanging fruit is just to rename the 2 player Gameboy core to "Gameboy2Pultrawide.xbm" and "Gameboy2Pultrawide.gsc" and re-upload for that core.

It is likely we are going to have an Epoch Cassette Vision core in the not too distant future if anyone is looking for other consoles to do.

Why renaming these? Is there something missing or wrong? I've just tested all 5 Game Boy cores and they're display is ok.

Ah, I am just going by the sheet - if the Gameboy2Pultrawide.rbf core is displaying the images then just needs marked on the sheet.

Presumably MEMTEST.gsc could be used for jtsdram48.gsc and jtsdram96.gsc?

Maybe, why not...I'm waiting for weeks for an great inspiration by my own, but nothing. Coding and experimenting all day makes Larry a dull boy

Good work chaps, you guys have been on fire today!

I found a couple more unofficial/W.I.P cores, Super Jacob virtual computer and a Russian computer DVK MC1201 and added them to the sheet. If anyone knows of any others out there that aren't on the sheet please let me know!

PC88 and PC98 would be nice ones to do if anyone is bored. :-)

Good effort, you are smashing them out!

I have done some updates to the sheet, adding some conditional formatting, so you no longer need to copy and paste cells to get the colours - just type the text and you will get the colour. I also added it to the status and core type columns, which may be a bit overboard with the colours, let me know if it's too much.

There is also a new column for "Any Image" which has a formula that auto fills "Yes" if there is a mono or greyscale image. There is a counter at the bottom so can clearly see how many cores have no image at all. I have left Text out, so these aren't included as an image as these are getting phased out.

Very welcomed and useful. Thanks for your effort.
The only thing that is missing for now is an AI which auto downloads or paints pictures, sort them in our repo and updates the sheet :lol:

Well mate, if I can figure out how to add conditional formatting to a google sheet in an afternoon, surely you can get all that knocked up by the weekend. ;-)

You guys have really broken the back of the images, just look at the counters - and keep in mine a decent number of the "No" are ones that aren't released yet. Amazing effort.

We got a new official core yesterday, Arcadia 2001 if anyone is looking for another console core.

Please don't. I'm afraid that we may enter the Matrix then and become useless for our machines :ugeek:

Glad you liek it. That's one of the great advantages of Covid-19 (at least for me): More time for family (including cats), education and science.

Bugfix:
The Arduino Program got a minor bugfix which you only need to apply if you use the Text Command Feature.
Fix: The hidden writing feature with font 0 works now correctly.

Nice one!

JT released a Beta for Cotton yesterday which has a note on the sheet about having an image but possibly needing a rename of the file, which would be worth someone having a look at.

I made a small update to the sheet, there is a collum. To the far right called "Text Counter" I am using to note if an arcade core has a Text file but not other image, to feed into the counter at the bottom, as I couldn't find a more elegant way to do this with the formula. The counter is now accurate at 19 Text only cores rather than 54 that it was before.

Nice pictures for Cotton found and committed (Mystery Google: one day you'll find nothing, the other day dozens of proper search results).
In the sheet you wrote that "Cotton.xbm Picture already available, needs to be renamed?". Do you have this picture at hand or where is it?

The internal naming of the core (and therefore the picture) follows MAME's naming convention. You can have a look at it's appropriate MRA file, which are freely available despite of core's status. Within the MRA is a tag named <setname> and that's the important thing you need for the correct name.

I actually didn't write any of those comments about possible wrong names, I assumed it was yourself or Venice. It may be worth having a run through the ones that were commented in the image column and see if any seem off to you or are easily fixable.

Good effort on the Cores images! Literally only 3 playable cores left with a proper name that won't change, and they are all unofficial and a bit obscure:
DVK MC1201 (Russian computer)
Nand2Tetris (virtual computer)
Super Jacob (virtual computer)

You can assume that. Alas, a neverending task... :)
BTW: I've added a handful new GSCs: MC1201, dorodon, dotrikun, lagunar and Jukk@M's very nice one. Sheet also edited.

Oh well, on the plus side there are a lot of good games in there to make images for - Metal Slugs will be fun. I went and added them all to the bottom of the sheet, these will presumably be added as MRAs very soon. Blackwine also added Super Xevious as well, but Patreon only for now.

With JT adding another 50+ alternates for the Sega 16 going to be a lot more arcade MRAs soon!

Thanks for adding those other images!
