Hi, sagaopc

just check this checkbox (PC/DOS files mode) ;

or remove the "windows" entry from the list of managed systems in folder mode by editing the file "systemes_as_folder.txt" by clicking on of this items :

If you choose this second option you can leave unchecked the 'PC/DOS files mode' checkbox.

[ZzackK]

@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 :)

[ZzackK]

Is possible set rom file name like in gamelist?

[Madcore]

Hi. I tried this program to scrape my collection, and I found it really powerful and suits all my needs.

The only thing I miss is being capable of use a system or platform variable on the folder paths for media download. I have my media separate from roms in another folder, to have everything nice and clean on pc where I have all my collection. I know this is not very orthodox to do when it come to use in Retropie or Recalbox, but in PC I like to had it that way, and being capable of using a variable on the folder path is faster than rebuild the xml with macros to have a new path.

Is there a way to do that?

Hi everyone,

A new version of ARRM is available:

2.0.1.0 (11/05/2023)

• Added: Textbox 'Ignore these files' in the 'Parameters' tab, 'Configuration files' Tab : Whe n loading a system, the indicated files are ignored. Can be used to ignore Bios files. You can use wildcards (* ?)
• Added: 'family' and 'mode' tag
• Added checkbox 'Ignore title search for these systems: 3DS, DS, GameCube, PS3, SWITCH, Wii, WiiU'. (this helps avoid bad naming)
• Added: Intercepting errors on invalid images
• Added: export module to retroarch. Allows you to export Media, Playlists and Overlays to Retroarch directories. See wiki: https://shorturl.at/BDIT5
• Added: Renaming of Artworks based on the game name / ROM file name. See wiki: https://shorturl.at/rSVY7
• Added: Checkbox 'Keep one genre' in the Gamelist tab: If checked, when saving the gamelist.xml, only the first genre of the game is kept. Warning: Other genres will be lost when you reload the gamelist.xml in ARRM
• Added: When exporting to 'Hyperslist' only the first genre of the game is kept.
• Added: When creating M3Us, alternative ROMs can be ignored via the 'Ignore Alternative Roms in M3U' checkbox in the 'Scrape Options' tab. The alternative tags sought are defined in 'Alternative Roms Tags' of the 'Configuration Files' tab
• Modification: Some special characters (c)(tm)(r) (~)² (cube)... are removed during the search to increase the chances of results.
• Modification: database engine detection method
• Modification: When searching for duplicates, the filter is retained. We can then make other filter queries on the selection of duplicates.
• Fixed : when using 'deleted unused artworks/videos' feature, 'extra1' images are taken into account
• Fixed : In 'missing media' mode, during a scrape with Screenscraper Multithread, the roundwheel was downloaded even if already present
• Fixed: Possible crash on other scrape engines, if 'seconds before ignore' was too large. It is now limited to 98 max
• Fixed : If an xml contained prohibited characters, a crash could occur after the alert message
• Fixed : Some images could be size 0 after unsuccessful compression: restoration of the original uncompressed image
• Fixed : The wheelround was not retrieved from HFSDB when the 'Missing Media' checkbox was checked
• Fixed: Deactivation of the search validation button by Title/Description/File when the textbox is empty (removes the resulting crash)
• Fixed: Various bugs
