Hi all,
I've done another 2 themes.
Although it may not be obvious to everyone, buried in the Commodore 64 folder on Recalbox, are folders for 2 additional Commodore computers:

The Commodore Vic20 (released 1980)

The Commodore Plus 4 (released 1984) which internally was identical to the Commodore C16 and C116 except with the Plus4 having more memory, meaning 99.9% of games worked on all 3 variants.

So, in the same link as before, I have put the 2 themes.
Again, if anyone finds any bugs, let me know.

Hi all,
Another theme.
Although there are literally thousands of games for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k, there are a few hundred that only run on the enhanced ZX Spectrum 128k (and the later +2 and +3 models post sale of Sinclair Research to Amstrad).

So, as I have 245 128k only games, I've made a theme for the ZX Spectrum 128k.

Simplest way to scrape is to do your Speccy games as normal except the 128k ones, then highlight your 128k ones, change theme to the 128k one I've made, and scrape those, giving you a cool folder showing instantly which games are 128k enhanced.

Again, theme is in the link above.

Hi all,
After creating the ZX Spectrum 128k theme, my friends said they wanted one where it was more obvious that this was for the 128k enhanced games, so........here is an alternative ZX Spectrum 128k theme that has in "Sinclair red" the words "128K ENHANCED" along the bottom!

Again, files in same link as before.

@nexusone13
Hi all,
I've done another 2 themes!
One for the Nintendo 64 DD disk drive add on games (there were only about 10 to 15 games ever made I believe), and, a good theme for the Capcom Play System 1, 2 and 3 games (just put the 80 ish working ROMS in the FBNEO folder).

Again, files in same link as before.

Thanks again @RustyMG
I'll add this two mixes in the download section tomorrow.

@nexusone13
Hi all,
I've done another themes!
This one is for the small amount of games in the "Ports" folder that come pre-installed. I've added Flashback and Outrun to my own setup, and Outrun is stunning. Widescreen, 60fps and lots of additional settings to tweak.

Again, file in same link as before.

@nexusone13 Hi all, just noticed some bad artifacts on the "mix_Super_Cassette_Vision" transparency, so I've re done the png image files in the folder on the drive.

ANYONE WHO HAS USED THEM OR ARE ABOUT TO, PLEASE RE DOWNLOAD THE NEW FILES, OR IF EASIER, JUST TAKE THE FOLDER'S CONTENTS.

Thanks,
RustyMG

@nexusone13
Hi all,
As I now have about 80 Uzebox games, I thought I'd do a theme for them.

As usual, files are in the usual place, ie https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1q_pVaGeFQb5GFfLUiNNACrinJwWbruU1?usp=sharing

Oh, @nexusone13 - Im having a problem. Any time I use the "Delete unused photos and videos" option, every time, it deletes every file in the folder. Tried it 5 or 6 times now and every time, folder is emptied - any ideas?

Hi @RustyMG which version do you have. Send me a screenshot of the arrm folder tab.

[nexusone13]

@RustyMG scrape any game and click on 'send debug info to developer' in the 'contact' tab. Pass on the arrm discord (see signature). I will be more reactive.

[RustyMG]

@nexusone13 Hi, it deletes all the images and videos in v 1.8.7.7 and the latest, v1.8.7.8.

Folders are :

@nexusone13
Hi all,
Another theme!
This time for the Openbor games.
This was the biggest pain in the a$$ yet, as I took a screengrab from a game then cut out 4 fighters then cut them out from the background, which took a long time.......

Anyway, files are in the usual place, ie https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1q_pVaGeFQb5GFfLUiNNACrinJwWbruU1?usp=sharing

I may do one for the Daphne stuff if I can find what I'm looking for.

@nexusone13 Hi all,
Another theme!
This time for the Daphne laserdisc games.

As usual, files in the usual place.

@nexusone13 Hi all,
Another theme before bedtime!
This time for the Lua framework Lutro games.

As usual, files in the usual place.
if anyone can think of a system they'd like done just let me know

[RustyMG]

@nexusone13 Hi nexusone.
Please see attached screengrab. The scrape folder name matches the image folder name perfectly - both are "./downloaded_images", yet even in the latest release from the other day, I went to delete the hundreds of unused images, and it again deleted everything in the folder. I am puzzled !

[nexusone13]

@RustyMG folders must be downloaded_images. Not . /downloaded_images

See. http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=settings-en#folders

[RustyMG]

@nexusone13 Hi,
I changed all the folder paths as suggested as shown below....

When I tried this time, it went through the files, and deleted 217 unused images as expected - great!
But, it then continued and deleted every other file in the folder again.

I have included a part of the log file below so you can see what it did.
I notice unusual file structures mentioned when it went back to the start...

\downloaded_images\Xor (Astral)[h Fairlight]-mix.png
-- Deleting image : C:_C_Dumping ground\ROMS\c64\downloaded_images\Xyron (1995)(-)[h]-mix.png
-- Deleting image : C:_C_Dumping ground\ROMS\c64\downloaded_images\Yabba Dabba Doo-screenshot.png
-- Deleting image : C:_C_Dumping ground\ROMS\c64\downloaded_images\Zaxon (Hungary) (Unl) (disk)-mix.png

---

Deleting unused image files finished. (Deleted : 217 image file(s) )

---

Processing media folder : ./downloaded_images

-- Deleting image : C:_C_Dumping ground\ROMS\c64./downloaded_images\007 Car Chase (USA) (disk)-mix.png
-- Deleting image : C:_C_Dumping ground\ROMS\c64./downloaded_images\007 Car Chase (USA) (disk)-video.mp4
-- Deleting image : C:_C_Dumping ground\ROMS\c64./downloaded_images\10th Frame (Access.d-TSC)-mix.png
-- Deleting image : C:_C_Dumping ground\ROMS\c64./

Note : the unusual file location for the files is the temporary storage area I put my folders when scraping on the PC

What I dont understand is, it went through the list of 6000 images, and only deleted 217 of them. It ignored 5800 of them. So when it got to the end, why instead of stopping, did it start again, and delete every file that was left ?

[nexusone13]

Hi @RustyMG,
If multi systems are selected, "Delete unused images....." will delete images for each systems selected.

As I told you seventh days ago, try to delete the same way you did, and click on 'send debug info to developer' in the 'contact' tab.
Come to the ARRM Discord ( https://discord.gg/p7QsBTS ). I will be more reactive and it will be easier to exchange log files and informations.
