[SOFT] Arrm (Another Recalbox Roms Manager)

[jorgemagana]

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!

@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.
