@nexusone13 thx :)

ZzackK

Mix images have name like: Pole Position (USA) (Proto)-mix.png
Is possible set name without "-mix"
Image like rom file dont help in this case.

EmuDeck using Emulation Station Desktop Edition and folders for images and gamelist are in another places.

ZzackK

Game lists xml in Emudeck dont support links. Images must have the same name like roms.

nexusone13

@ZzackK ARRM uses these suffixes for internal processing. However, you can remove them by hand by following this tutorial: http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=howto_remove_suffix_en

ZzackK

@nexusone13 thx works but is not comfortable :)
