Hello All

New version available

version 1.5.1.1 (09/12/2018)

• little makeover of the interface
• bug fix on erasing dos and daphne rom
• when creating a mix, if an image (box, screen, marquee) is not found, ARRM searches in the images_downloaded directory for images previous scrap on Thegamesdb, Screenscraper or another scraper. (see above)
• if "no image" or no choice of image has been made in the "image options", ARRM only retrieves the textual information of the game (thanks PilafSama)
• added 2 templates: mix_recalbox_like / mix_recalbox_like_snes_n64
• the values ??of the checkboxes in the image options are retained.
• when searching for a missing image, ARRM searches with the <rom filename> if the option 'image as rom' was checked in the 'scrap options' otherwise it looks on the <game title>
• Added option: 'Remove filters' When this box is checked, when saving the gamelist, all filters are deleted, hidden files are displayed and the entire list is selected "(Zing and PilafSama requests )

Version 1.5.1.1 uses the new TheGamesDB API. Warning TGDB now limits to 1000 requests per IP and per month.

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..

[nexusone13]

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.

@nexusone13 ok thanks!

• some bugs fixed
• In the "Choice Mix Model" page, the "View Rep" button brings directly into the directory of the selected template

@claude_bezoul Bien vu Claude, il y a une petite erreur de ; dans le fichier des extensions autorisées pour msx2. Il te faut aller sur ARRM dans l onglet Options Générales et cliquer sur le bouton "Edite Extensions" , tu recherches la ligne suivante :

msx2|.mx2,.zip;.rom;.dsk

et tu remplaces la , par un ; pour obtenir la ligne suivante :

msx2|.mx2;.zip;.rom;.dsk

Tu sauvegardes le fichier, tu relances ARRM et désormais tes roms msx2 en .zip apparaissent.
