Hi everyone,
A new version of ARRM is available:
Here are the changelog since version 2.0.2.4
2.0.3.1 (21 march 2025)
Modification: In version 1080 the window size is now slightly smaller
Added: In the duplicate search module, if the 'Select duplicate' checkbox is checked, ARRM will first sort the database on the desired criteria and automatically select (will highlight) the duplicates (except the first in the list). It is up to the user to do what he wants with this selection (delete Rom or other).
Fixed : On Launchbox, when you selected only one country/region in the media priority, ARRM returned a media from another country/region if it found nothing. Now it only returns the media from the requested country/region. Be careful, in the Launchbox database, if a media has no country/region defined, ARRM will be able to select it.
Added: In the MixMe module it is now possible to add WheelRound, Videos and Manual.
Added: taking into account a template 'marquee fanart round (Custom Marquee)' generating custom marquees. View wiki :
