      @nexusone13 Good morning and thanks for the great work on this program. I installed it on my Windows 10 and the program worked fine for a few days, but then whenever I tried to use it, it would stop working showing an error message related to NET.FrameWork.

      I have installed the latest version of this feature that the program needs to work, but I still can't use ARRM anymore. Would you help me? Because I really liked your program and the arts it generates for me. πŸ˜‰Erro no programa ARRM scrappers.png Erro ARRM sobre depuraΓ§Γ£o JIT.png Erro ARRM mais detalhes.png

        @leowalk77 hi. Which button did you click when this error occurred? Which system did you scrapped? Did you installed or removed programs or net framework between the moment arrm worked and now!? Can you click on 'send debug info to developer' In the' contact' tab please. Thanks

          I'll make a video about the problem and post it on my channel there on youtube and then leave the link here for you to evaluate, ok!? Thanks for your attention and I hope that as soon as you show how this problem happens, you can help me, because I really enjoyed the arts that your great program develops for us. πŸ˜‰βœŒοΈ

            Good Morning!!! Yesterday, I decided to delete the ARRM folder that was on the C drive in x86 program files and then I reinstalled the program and went to use it to see if the problem had been solved and to my surprise the ARRM managed to create a complete playlist Mega Drive with 791 ERROR-free games. πŸ™

            I'm still doing the tests to see if this problem has really been fixed and I'll let you know. I leave just below the screenshot of the location where I deleted the program folder and the link to the video which I recorded thinking it would give a problem, but it didn't happen. πŸ˜…

            SoluΓ§Γ£o do problema.png

            I decided to share the video just so you can get an idea of how I use your program here on my computer. Thanks in advance for your attention and again for the great program. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

            How do I use ARRM here in Brazil

              Hi @leowalk77 glad to read that you managed to get it work. I think you should change the bezels folder to something different that program files x86. It may cause error (access rights) if you check the overlay checkbox in image options tab.

                  Good night!!! So that must be what was causing the problem, since I really only indicated the path to the ROMs folder, as I don't use Bezels, I left it aside, but I'll do as you indicated. 😎✌

                  Again, thank you very much for your attention. And about the Mix Videos I had noticed it!!! At first the program scared me because of the number of options it has, but with the help of a friend, I managed to learn the basics. The rest I'll see on your Youtube channel in addition to the Wiki page. πŸ˜‰

                    Good Morning!!! Yes, I noticed this and whenever I go to create my scrapers I pay attention to these details. 😎

                    Today I decided to do the ARRM test on my Notebook with Windows 11, which before was giving the same problem and I just indicated a new path for the Bezels folder that ARRM started to work perfectly. πŸ₯³

                    Here is the directory tree I set up for the program:

                    soluΓ§Γ£o arrm.png

                    The only problem I had when running ARRM on my Samsung Flash F30 is that it doesn't adjust to the screen size of this notebook and because of that I didn't have access to some features that are at the bottom. πŸ˜ͺ

                    The solution was to use the great feature of this new Windows that allows you to hide the taskbar. See below how the program looked after applying these changes:

                    tela do arrm faltando recursos.png

                    This is the total screen space of my notebook and as you can see even though I hide the taskbar some ARRM details are still missing, but the most important features for my use are accessible now. πŸ˜‰

                    It would be good for you to come up with a way to make this program tuned for different types of screens to facilitate the final use. 😏

                    Thanks again so much for creating this amazing program for us end users. 😎

                      @nexusone13 Hi all,
                      Done a few new templates, and a few alternatives:

                      Elektronika BK (better colour):
                      sample_bk_alt.png

                      sample_st.png

                      sample_snes_cartridge_pad.png

                      sample_st.png

                      TIC-80.png

                      sample_watara_supervision.png

                      Videopac + / Videopac 7400:
                      sample.png

                      With the scraper, there is a problem with scraping EasyRPG games.
                      It only allows a zip file, which is okay on a PC, however the Pi version of Easy RPG must have the folders unzipped, and in each folder, looks for the file "RPG_RT.ldb" to load the game.
                      This file is the same for each game.
                      I had to scrape as normal, unzip each game, then manually edit the xml file replacing the zip with "[game folder]/RPG_RT.ldb", but they all now work.

                          Oops, forgot to include the alt Sega Saturn template.
                          Decided to make a nice one as Recalbox 7.3 will include the Sega Saturn.
                          CD case reduced in size and CD enlarged so they match better, and the grey console used to make it more visible.

                            @nexusone13 Hi, was trying to resolve a VIC-20 problem and just noticed ARRM doesn't recognise .tap files, but, the VICE emulator can run them (go into Machine Settings -> Tape Port Devices and enable "Datasette Device".)

                            Can this suffix be added to the recognised file types so I can scrape these .tap games?

                            Many thanks πŸ‘

                                          Hi Everyone,

                                          A new version of ARRM is available:

                                          1.9.0.0 (09/25/2021)

                                          • Addition of a scrape module on LaunchBox database : Recovery of Boxart 2D / 3D media, Logo, Fanart, Screenshot, Titleshot, BoxBack, Cartridge, Marquee. See Wiki: http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=scraper-launchbox-fr (requested by Bob Morane on the ARRM Discord)
                                          • Addition of systemes_launchbox.txt file for association between your systems and Launchbox systems. Consider adapting it to your system directory names.
                                          • Addition of the video preview on HFS-Db
                                          • Addition of regions in the HFS-DB module (request from Nordipower)
                                          • Addition of a 'Ignore platform on LaunchBox / TGDB / HFS' checkbox in the 'Recalbox / Batocera / Screenscraper' tab. Allows not to filter on the platform when searching for a game (Request from TVslan on Discord ARRM)
                                          • Addition of a button dedicated to exports without needing to create the gamelist (request from Banbs on ARRM discord)
                                          • Improved search on HFS-Db for games containing in their title ':'
                                          • In unit mode, on TGBD, LaunchBox, GOG, Steam, HFS-Db scrape engines, it is possible to modify the textual elements before validation and to choose the textual elements to recover
                                          • In 'Auto Validation' mode activated, it is now possible to ignore games when the search returns more than one game, via the 'Ignore when # games> 1' checkbox (in order to avoid manually validating each game)
                                          • Taking into account of the decimal separator used for the correct display of the rating (it is normally no longer necessary to modify the decimal separator in the windows control panel)
                                          • Removed empty lines in the description when saving the gamelist (request from Trinidad Sweet on Discord ARRM)
                                          • Fixed a bug: Videos and manuals were not fetched from HFS-Db
                                          • Fixed a bug: on HFS-Db some games were not displayed even though they were found
                                          • Fixed a bug / crash when 'Strict Search' was checked and the system was not present in systemes_screenscraper.txt (thanks Trinidad Sweet)
                                          • Fixed a bug on HFS / Steam / GOG / TheGamesDB module when auto-selecting when only one game is returned (images were not fetched)
                                          • Fixed a bug which replaced the name of the game with the name of the cleaned game (detected by Nordicpower)
