[SOFT] Arrm (Another Recalbox Roms Manager)

[FloppyFred]

La personnalisation des sous-dossiers fonctionne très bien!
Idéal pour trier les jeux par genre ou par continent avec de belles images pour chaque genre/continent !
Déjà dit, mais pour les nouveaux venus: c'est probablement le meilleur logiciel dans son genre !

The customization of subfolders works great !
Great for sorting games by type or by continent with nice images for each type/continent !
Already said but for the newcomers: it's probably the best software of its kind !

joli boulot ! et Merci !

Hi @virus-man
It's the english thread, so I answer in english. The french one is here: https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/11849/arrm-another-recalbox-roms-manager/184

Details about customization of subfolders with image and description

Example:
folder : \\recalbox\share\roms\neogeo\- Metal Slug

It will be necessary to put the image relative to the folder with the same name as the folder .png.

Example:
\\recalbox\share\roms\neogeo\- Metal Slug\- Metal Slug.png

The image is mandatory to take this operation into account

You can also put a description of the folder (optional) in a text file (.txt) with the same name as the folder:

Example :

\\recalbox\share\roms\neogeo\- Metal Slug\- Metal Slug.txt

Of course, your Metal slug roms have to go in this directory : \\recalbox\share\roms\neogeo\- Metal Slug

This information (folder) will be written at the end of the gamelist.xml file when saving the gamelist.
In the example, I put a hyphen in front of the directory name so that it appears at the top of the list, but it is not required

Petite précision avec la personnalisation des sous-dossiers: Recalbox les customise automatiquement avec des images des jeux inclus dans ces même sous-dossiers.
Nexusone13 m'a confirmé que ca fonctionne bien avec Batocera.
Et personnellement, cela a fonctionné avec retropie mais je n'ai pas testé avec les toutes dernières versions.

A little precision about the customization of the subfolders: Recalbox automatically customizes them with images of games included in these same subfolders.
Nexusone13 has confirmed that it works well with Batocera.
And personally, it worked with retropie but I have not tested with the latest versions.

Hello All

New version available

1.6.0.1 (02/10/2019)

• Creation of a 'Temporary gamelist' checkbox in the 'Gamelist options' tab which allows to create a 'gamelist_tempo.xml' file during the progression of the scrape in the directory of the scraped system. So after a crash of the application, the next launch of a scrap on this system, a prompt asks you if you want to merge this file 'gamelist_tempo.xml' in the current 'gamelist.xml'. If an error occurs, check that the 'gamelist_tempo.xml' file contains the <gamelist> tags at the beginning of the file and </gamelist> at the end of the file.
• Keyword search is done on the description as well.
• Fix format of the dates to respect the format yyyymmddT000000 (request of Maromatze on the site Jujuvincebros.fr)
• faster scrape treatment
• When there is an error downloading an image, 2 more attempts are made.
• The log file is no longer in memory (this caused slowdowns on big scrape). Now the log is written in the "system" \ scrape_log.txt file. So during a crash, the log file is always searchable
• fix the mix_gamegear_profile template
• Add an Atomiswave template
• Added some systems Logo
• Added Atari800 & Atari800XL template

Hello All

New version available

1.7.0.0 (03/24/2019)

• Overlays recovery and automatic creation of overlay configuration files for Batocera and Recalbox. When recovering system and game overlays, ARRM can detect overlay transparency areas and automatically create configuration files for Recalbox or Batocera, or rely on configurable template files.

• Radio button to select the format of overlays to recover: 16/9 (most provided), 16/10 and 4/3
• Checkbox 'Dev' in the tab 'Options' which allows to save in a dedicated directory the overlay with a yellow frame representing the automatic coordinates of the viewport found by ARRM. Useful for locating overlays posing problems.
• Creation of a file "missing_bezels%system%.txt" containing the list of overlays not found.
• Added a field to select the backup directory for overlays and their configuration files (\recalbox\share, \batocera\share or any directory of your disks)
• Added a validation button for the selection of various directories
• Fixed a bug when looking for files / names of roms containing the character '&' (ampersand) (the game was not found) (report SecamFr)
• Bug fix when clicking on "Display" without any system selected (report Virus-Man)
• Addition of a checkbox 'In .ZIP' in the 'Scrap Options' tab: When the search via MD5 on the Rom file name does not return anything, ARRM searches via MD5 file contained in the .ZIP

Hello. How can I update only the images of a game list?

Hello. How can I update only the images of a game list?

Hello,
If you do not want textual information to be updated, but only graphics, just checked in 'image option tab': No Text.

[jorgemagana]

@nexusone13 excellent! Thanks!

[Secamfr]

@nexusone13 Salut, encore un petit bug si l'on scrappe un fullset megadrive par exemple, avec l'option JAPAN Media il rajoute JAP dans le nom de l'image mais avec l'option US Media il garde le même nom que la version box tout court du coup impossible d'avoir certains jeux avec la jaquette Europe et USA.
Tu peut testé avec les roms "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Europe).zip" et "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (USA).zip".

[nexusone13]

@secamfr je modifie et je te fais passer une version pour test

[nexusone13]

@secamfr Je t'ai mis le lien dans le chat pvt

[Secamfr]

@nexusone13 Beta testé, c'est parfait ! Par contre j'ai remarqué un message d'erreur qui s'affiche parfois pourtant l'image est bien sauvé "!!!!! Ne peut pas compresser le fichier PNG. Code erreur : 2"
