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..

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!

Hello All

New version available

v 1.5.3.0 (10/07/2018)
(see the changelog, more complete, inside the application)

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

@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.
