        Hello All

        New version available (Important update)

        • v 1.4.8.2 (05/29/2018)
        • Fixed a big bug that prevented the game from launching after adding "core" and "emulator" tags with empty content: now these tags are no longer written to the gamelist when they are empty.
          To apply the solution to your gamelist, simply reload your system in ARRM, select your roms and create the gamelist so that everything comes back in order. (no need to re scrap)
          Thanks to VirusMan for quickly detecting the problem

          Hello All

          New version available

          version 1.4.9.0 (06/04/2018)

          • Default images now integrate into templates. They apply when no picture is found. For example, choose a "snowy screen" for the Screenshot.
            The default Screenshot is applied if 'image style' matches Screen or Mix. Default Boxes and Marquee are applied only if 'image style' matches Box or Marquee.
          • The system search parameters are now manageable via external files containing for theGamesDb and Screenscraper the names of systems recalbox / batocera / emulationstation and their equivalent on the sites Screenscraper and TheGamesDb (accessible via the button next to the buttons Screenscraper and TheGamesDb)
          • add a Naomi style arcade template

              @nexusone13 Hello!
              First of all: thank you very much for the tool!
              I have some questions: I found the option to delete unused images very useful.
              But I did not find an option to delete the entries in the gamelist that no longer have a ROM, this option exists and I do not know how to use? Or is there still no such option?
              Also I have not located a Scrapp option that allows the user to decide whether to accept Scrapp found or not. For example, due to similar names, ScreenScraper sometimes finds information about a game that is not the chosen one, but since it only finds one, it does not give you the option to choose, and manually you have to go back to the game, and delete the information that was entered wrong. Or am I doing something wrong?
              I emphasize that the tool is very useful, thank you again!

                @zing hi zing and thanks for your encouragement. When you load a gamelist, if a rom file does not exist it will not be shown i the database. You have to save the database into the gamelist to save the change. About the option to accept or not a scrap , it does not exists indeed. and I'm afraid it will slow down the scrap. Maybe an option in a future release

                  @nexusone13 Thanks for the answer!
                  I agree that if the user has the option to accept Scrap or not, the process will take longer. So I SUGGEST (just a suggestion, the tool is already great without this option), that if it is possible to put this in a future version, put it as optional, and by default continue automatic. Probably only boring users like me would use this option. 😛

                  Another question: Does ARRM automatically connect to the recalbox? I saw that there are fields for login, password, button to stop EmulationStation, and button to restart Recalbox, but I did not see a button to connect to Recalbox, so I had doubts.

                  Do you mind if I post open a topic to advertise your tool in the forum portuguese section?

                    @zing Hi, when I'll back from vacation, I'll try to put the option you want.
                    Field login & password are used to launch commands to stop & restart emulationstation on recalbox.

                    No problem, you can put an advert on the portuguese section 🙂

                                  First of all, congratulations on this great job!

                                  I only have one question, I have a gamelist.xml with a lot of information of deleted games, I deleted the images too, but the information is stiil in the XML file, how can I filter de database in ARRM to check if the rom is still or not physical in the drive? I want to delete useless data.

                                  Thanks and sorry for my english..

                                    Hello @jorgemagana When you choose the system, ARRM matches rom files in the gamelist and files present in the system directory. When the process is done , the database shows only the existing roms. Then you just have to select all the elements and create the new gamelist.

                                        • New database including the <cartridge> tag
                                        • The scrap on screenscraper allows to recover the image of the cartridge when it exists. New tag in the gamelist.xml <cartridge>
                                        • the status line is replaced by a textbox whose detailed content is accessible via a text editor by clicking on 'see log'. Use this log to understand how ARRM works.
                                        • The dialog indicating that the game was not found on TheGamesDB no longer appears. see the log status
                                        • the image preview checkbox on TGDB is now positioned in the menu "Recalbox / Screenscraper / TGBD"
                                        • When loading the gamelist.xml, verifying the existence of the images locally, otherwise deleting the reference of the image in the database
                                        • It is now possible in the MIX templates to add a 2nd layer marquee (name of the layer: marquee2), used in the template "emulga like" (Query Marwyn91)
                                        • Addition of several templates using the cartridge image: "Atari 7800 cartridge", "cartridge colecovision", "n64 cartridge", "atari 2600 cartridge", "genesis cartridge", "emulga like", and others
                                        • Now 10 layers are available in your MIX
                                        • Added a "customnomix" filter button that filters images created from other scrapers and recomposed by ARRM. This tag is used so that ARRM does not attempt to remix these images
                                        • when looking for a DOS game on screenscraper, ARRM searches with both the .pc and .dos extension
                                        • some bugs fixed
                                        • In the "Choice Mix Model" page, the "View Rep" button brings directly into the directory of the selected template

                                          Merci encore pour ce soft 😉
                                          ça fait plaisir de voir qu'il s'améliore.

                                          j'ai un bug sur msx2 je vois pas la liste des jeux alors qu'il sont bien dans le gamelist.xml

                                          serait t-il possible d'avoir des nouveaux templates ? ( Amiga 600, amiga 1200, C64, virtualboy )

                                          Merci.
