@cosmo0 said in Arcade Manager: install overlays and manage roms in a user-friendly, fast and cross-platform GUI:

@jdruding Ok, I'll try to check if I can reproduce and fix the issue, but since I'm in the process of converting the app to another framework, I don't know when I'll have time.

In the meantime, you can try using my other tool: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/29966/mame-retroarch-overlay-bezel-conversion-tool

Example (edit the bold paths to point to the actual paths):

bezel-tools check --overlays-config path/to/overlays --roms-config path/to/roms --autofix --input-overlay-path /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/overlay/ --template-overlay templates/overlay.cfg --template-rom templates/game.cfg -d path/to/debug/ --target-resolution "1280x720"

Let me know if it helps (or if you need help using it).

@cosmo0 I was just wondering if you ever had a minute to look at this issue?

cosmo0

@jdruding No, sorry :( I'll try to find some time to fix a few things in the coming weeks.

jdruding

@cosmo0 Just checking back on this. Any chance you've been able to fix it? Sorry to be a pest, I really like your solution, I'm just trying to decide if I should maybe try something else.

@jdruding Hey ! I'm really sorry, but now with a second kid I use my precious little free time playing; and work has ramped up so I don't have much time there anymore. But I'll make sure to check it when I ever get back to it.

New version, converted to .Net and fixes a bunch of bugs: https://github.com/cosmo0/arcade-manager/releases

@jdruding I'd be lying if I said I haven't forgotten you. I'll try to check your issue before next year ; I have created an issue in Github: https://github.com/cosmo0/arcade-manager/issues/27

New version, because the previous one had a breaking bug.

https://github.com/cosmo0/arcade-manager/releases/tag/v6.2

Also adds support for roms in .7z format, and adds CSV lists for MAME 2003+ and FBNeo 1.0.0.2

@jdruding I've been unable to reproduce your problem since the switch to .Net. Maybe I inadvertently fixed it?

New version: with a wizard ! It allows you to easily copy a selection of great games in a few clicks.

The app is now translated; for now only in french, let me know if you can help!

cosmo0

Update release because the wizard wasn't working anymore (oops)

https://github.com/cosmo0/arcade-manager/releases/tag/v7.1

@cosmo0 I just booted up the ol' Retropie after a few months off and did a frest update of all packages. My 3yo toddler was going to meet Pac-Man for first time, and the overlays in FBA for Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man now go over the game. I tried Galaga as well, and that looked good. Did something get goofed up recently in an FBA or Retropie update?

I installed new version of Arcade Manager, and it isn't dl'ing any new overlays for me.

Lemme know what you think. Thanks and happy holidays!
