Hi again! I started sorting arcade flyers to fill up the database and noticed that many clones have their own flyers, so looking forward to have support of different medias on the new api :D

Don't know how to handle this actually...

Clone can be in the DB in 2 type : Light Clone (In the Parent game) exemple : Rev X, country change, nb of player change, very "light" change,... Full Clone (in a different game) exemple : graphisme change, full new game,...

It's the same for Hack : Light Hack (in parent game) Exemple : Translation, speed hack, difficulty hack,... Full Hack (in a different game) exemple : new scenario, new graphisme, Full new game,...

So it depend. The clone flyer you have are on "Full Clone" or "Light Clone" ?

I'd say both :S Some are just regional flyers (i.e. same flyer in english or japanese), but others have totally different graphics. I downloaded the full official flyer packs. When I finish organizing them, I'll share it here so you can see exactly what I mean. We still need to clean up the whole arcade database though. Mame has duplicates in systems like cps I, II , III, cave etc.
