@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 :)
