Thank you, by any chance do you know a different bluetooth controller that's cheaper than this?

@agtrigormortis that is cool.

@quicksilver
Thank you!

@mitu Thanks so much! :)

Full ack!

IMO the retropie-project and ROMS/Images are two different things - even if they depend on eachother to make sense.
And therefore retropie should never implant any direct channels to any sites or databases containing copyrightet material.

It is no Problem to find enough food for the rom-folders by just searching the internet with Google or any other search-engine.
The retropie-project should stay clean, there is no reason to offer any shortcuts to rom-collections imo.

what do you think of it.

Hi all,

A new version of ARRM is available :

1.8.9.0 (04/11/2021)

The systems to be managed as directories (PC, DOS, Windows, PS3 ...) are indicated in the file systemes_as_folder.txt * In tools, addition of a combobox allowing to edit the ARRM config files.

Addition of a checkbox in the "Gamelist Options" tab which allows on Batocera when saving the gamelist to save the core / emulator per game in a text file. You just have to copy the lines of this file into your batocera.conf file

Addition of a combobox in the "Arcade" tab which allows you to select in your database the Arcade Roms whose selected core is the best. You can then apply the desired core / emulator to these Roms using the 'Reinit Core / Emulator' button . based on Roslof's . This is an alternative to the 'Update Core' button which is now located in the same 'Arcade' tab. See tutorial : http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=arcade_best_core_en

Addition of a checkbox 'Check if media exists' in the 'General options' tab: When loading the gamelist, checks if the referenced media exist locally, otherwise the media reference is deleted from the database

Modification of the button 'Media exists?' in panel 'Actions possible on selected Roms': When loading the gamelist, checks if the referenced media exist locally, otherwise the media reference is deleted from the database. If the 'Find missing images' checkbox is checked in the 'General options' tab, ARRM tries to find the media locally ")

Support des tags BOXBACK, KIDGAME, GAMETIME dans les gamelists.

Boxback can now be used in your Mix templates. cf Wiki Create your own template for ARRM

Boxback, Titleshot, and Fanart are now downloadable from TheGamesDB

Added boxback and overlay in HTML Generator

When "No image, only texts" is checked, only the media checked in the 'Force Media Download' section are recovered.

The 'Check ScreenScraper' Button now displays Scrape quotas / limitations on Screenscraper

'Recompose image' is faster

Addition of a converter from Overlay Recalbox to Overlay Batocera in the 'Tools' tab (indicate the path of the recalbox overlays folder, then the path of the temporary folder which will host the converted overlays). See tutorial : http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=convert_overlay_recalbox_to_batocera-en

The name of the Batocera bezels/overlays folders can be changed in the 'Folders' tab (formerly ARRM created a 'mybezels4-3' and 'mybezels16-9' folder)

Checking and normalization of folder names in the 'Folders' tab to avoid inadvertent deletion when using the 'Delete unused images and videos' button in the 'Images Options' tab

Moved the gamelist export checkboxes in the 'Gamelist' tab

Checkbox 'Export as Pegasus', allows to save the gamelist.xml in a metadata.txt format in the system directory. Can be used with the FrontEnd Pegasus (request of ExarKunIv from the Retropie forum). See tutorial : http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=export_gamelist_fr

Checkbox 'Export as Attract Mode', allows to save the gamelist.xml in the Romlists folder of Attractmode in an AttractMode compatible format. Remember to indicate this Romlist folder in the 'Folders' tab. (request from BadFurDay from the Retropie forum). See tutorial : http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=export_gamelist_fr

Modification of the database in order to have a visualization of genres when loading an Arcade romset without gamelist.xml. This allows you to make selections on unwanted genres and also clones in order to remove them.

Added an 'Arcade Clone' button in Arcade Tab that allows you to search and filter Clones of Roms for Arcade systems. The line (Clone Of: rom_name -> rom_title) is added in the 'temoporary_rom' field . The filter (temporary_rom like 'Clone Of:') is added to the filters of the Query combobox

When loading roms from Arcade systems without gamelist.xml, ARRM indicates if the rom is a clone in the description field and the temporary field (Clone Of : rom_name -> rom_title). Useful for removing clones before launching a scrape.

Single instance verification of the application at launch

Screenscraper custom dates are now supported

Addition of a 'Mix Box Cartridge Game & Watch' template by Mickael D.

Takes into account new systems

@mitu said in Cleaning gamelist.xml software (PC)?:

Have you tried https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11074/a-gamelist-xml-cleaner-tool ? Seems to do the job you're looking for.

Thanks for the tip. Didn´t do exatcly what i wanted...but it seems to clean up my messy gamelist.xml and that is a big plus!

Thank you guys I appreciate the feedback!

@herb_fargus said in Software dev questions.:

@jcode said in Software dev questions.:

All of my questions are dependable on what type of software i wrote?

If it's software that includes links to roms or downloaders for them we obviously don't condone it because it will do nothing but damage the project and earn you a nice ban. But there are plenty of web/theme managers scattered throughout the forum so if it's similar to those I don't see an issue with sharing it with the community

No...the software does not contain any illegal stuff. I would never do anything to hurt RetroPie and it´s community.

Thanks for your answer.

ok i will try reinstalling it.

Hey thanks, please let me know your feedback and I will try and make some improvements when I have time.

@Mikester said in ControlBlock does not work:

Thanks for your reply.

It works! I tried to uninstall everythink and followed the steps. This time I was succesful.

Thanks for your help

When you say that you "uninstalled everything" are you talking about uninstalling/reinstalling RetroPie and everything as well? Or just the ControlBlock stuff?

Mine was working fine, and then stopped and is behaving exactly as you describe. I tried removing all the ControlBlock stuff and reinstalling but the problem persists. The only thing I can think of is to do a clean install of the entire OS...I just really don't look forward to going through all of that again.

@Loren said in 2 questions.:

How do I completely remove the powerblock software (per say) from retropie. I built a SNES with one, but then flashed my image to another card for a different build and I don't need/want it on that build. Is there any way this can be done?

You can find instructions for uninstalling the PowerBlock driver at https://github.com/petrockblog/PowerBlock#uninstalling-the-service-andor-the-binary.
