One more thing videomix only works with templates not using perspective generated images
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. 🥳
Here is the directory tree I set up for the program:
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.
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:
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.
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):
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.

Hi @RustyMG
Did you try this method ? :
https://forum.recalbox.com/post/169526
Just add .ini in the systemes_extensions.txt file
@nexusone13
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
@nexusone13 oops, and .d64 files too for the VIC-20?
Thanks !

Hi everyone,
A new version of ARRM is available :
1.9.0.2 (11/20/2021)
Addition of a button to access the 'Launchbox media assignment' screen which allows you to assign the various Launchbox media to the TAGs available in ARRM. (To do before a scrape.) See: http://urlr.me/4MHJ5
Addition of an 'Edit Arcade Systems list' button in the 'Tools' tab which allows you to edit the list of systems to be considered as Arcade
Addition of a button to update the search database by Datfiles. See wiki for the operating mode: http://urlr.me/6vxQX
Update of the database for the search of names via Datfile: on arcade roms, there were many inconsistencies. (bug report by ZenGeek on Discord ARRM)
When loading a gamelist containing tags unknown to ARRM (cheevosHash, cheevosId ...), ARRM keeps them in a database (extra_tags), and rewrites them when creating the gamelist.xml and gamelist_ARRM. xml.
Addition of a 'Gamelist TAGs' tab which allows you to select the media TAGs that you want to appear in Gamelist.xml. If the associated media exists the TAG will be written. When creating gamelist.xml, a gamelist_ARRM.xml file containing all available tags is also created. If you want to use the 'Recompose image' function, it is important to check the 'Use Gamelist_ARRM.xml' checkbox when you load a system in order to have all the media available.
Addition of the checkbox 'Activation of 4 images mode' in the 'Image options' tab (request from Pajarorojo on ARRM discord)
When the '4 images mode' is not checked, it is possible to request the download of: screenshot, boxart, marquee, cartridge. (4 images mode automatically downloads them) (request from Pajarorojo on ARRM discord)
On a blank ARRM configuration, the media associated with WHEEL is assigned to the MARQUEE tag (request from Pajarorojo on ARRM discord)
Addition of an 'Add language' Checkbox in 'Scrape Options' tab: Finds languages ??in the file name when loading the gamelist and assigns it to the language field if it is empty. Also works with the 'Check Roms' button
Added the search for music on GamesDB when scraping on HFS-Db / Launchbox / TheGamesDB (if GamesDB music is checked in the Scrape Options tab)
Added titlescreen and favorite metadata in Pegasus exports (macche request on Discord ARRM)
Addition of a 'ScummVM folders' checkbox in the 'Gamelist Options' tab: allows, if Batocera is selected, to create <folder> tags with game information (enabled by default)
Correction: on HFS-Db sometimes screenshots present on HFS-Db were not found.
Correction: on HFS-Db sometimes the platforms were not mentioned in the search result.
Correction: When the 'Activation of 4 images mode' is not checked, some image media were not saved via the new scrape modules.
Correction: The existing folder tags are retrieved and rewritten when saving the gamelist.xml
Correction: Moved the 'Default image + video' button in the 'Images options' tab
Updated configuration files to support the following systems: Adventure Vision (advision), CD-i (cdi), CreatiVision (crvision), PV-1000 (pv1000), Game.com (gamecom), Gamate (gamate), TV Games (tvgames), Fujitsu FM-7 (fm7), Game Pocket Computer (gamepock), APF M-1000 (apfm1000), BBC Micro (bbc), Coleco ADAM (adam), Arcadia 2001 (arcadia ), Game Master (gmaster), Bally Astrocade (astrocade |), TI-99 (ti99), Tomy Tutor (tutor), Tandy Color Computer (coco), & Mega Duck (megaduck)

I'm still using ARRM v1.9.0.2 (no need for me to update because it works fine), but I have one Problem:
I'm still using a 15" CRT Montior with a resolution of 800x600.
When I start ARRM half of the GUI is missing and it seems that there is no Option to set the GUI-Resolution of ARRM to 800x600.
Even if there is no such Option, why is there NO Scrollbar on the Bottom to move the ARRM-GUI left or right ? Other Software have this but ARRM not ?
So for me, the only Possibility to save the Problem right now is to set the Resolution of my Monitor to 1200x800, than it shows me the whole ARRM-GUI but Font is now very small and hard to read.
So is there an Option to change the GUI-Resolution or at last to show a Scrollbar if you use a lower Screen-Resolution than 1200x800 ?
Hi everyone,
A new version of ARRM is available:
1.9.1.2 (03/19/2022)
Added: If the boxbacks recovered on Screenscraper are less than 4 KB they are considered as blank and not recovered. To avoid green empty boxbacks.
Added: 'Enable cache' checkbox in the 'Main options' tab, which allows textual information retrieved during a Scrape to be stored in a cache. Can be used for example following a crash during a scrape or a lack of gamelist. See Wiki: http://www.jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=howto_cache_en
Added: 'Load from Cache' button to retrieve cache information kept during previous scrapes for selected Roms and selected system.
Added: 'Cache' button to cache already scraped selected elements.
Added: 'Compress databases' button in the 'Tools' tab, which allows to compress the size of the databases used by ARRM. Automatically launches every 20 ARRM launches.
Added: A checkbox: 'ROM Country Priority' in the 'Scrape Options' tab and in the media allocation forms. Allows to take in priority the artworks of the country indicated in parentheses in the name of the ROM file (screenscraper and launchbox). Wiki: http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=media-assignation-en#order_of_priority_of_the_media_according_to_the_country
Added: an 'Ignore existing MD5' checkbox in the 'Scrape Options' tab, which allows, when scraping on Screenscraper, to ignore the MD5 that already exists in the gamelist / Roms information panel
Added: 'Arcade to Database' button in 'Update' tab: Used to update via .dat / .xml files the database used in 'Rename with Dat' or 'Arcade Clone Filter'. See Wiki: http://www.jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=rename_game_with_datfiles_en#update_arcade_database_with_new_datfiles_dat_xml
Added: Date/time variables usable in provider_custom.txt: %yyyy% (year), %dd% (day), %MM% (month), %HH% (hour 24), %mm% (minute) Wiki: http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=customize_provider_gamelist_en
Added: 'Cartridge' checkbox in the 'Filter' tab
Added: Change from 10 layers to 15 layers for templates
Added: A Philips CDI template by RustyMG
Modification: Button 'Create M3U' which makes it possible to create the M3U automatically for all or part of the selected roms. ARRM will search for files containing (dis*) (side*) (tape*) (part*) [part*]. Unique files are ignored. scrape information will be retained. Roms added in M3Us will have the attribute hidden in the gamelist.
Modification: It is possible to indicate a local file with full path in the layers of the templates: see wiki: http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=create_template-en#definition_of_layers
Modification: It is possible to add other information for the customization of sub-folders with image and description. see wiki: http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=custom_subfolder_en#new_format
Modification: To avoid overloading the HFSDB server, searches are carried out in priority on the MD5 (if existing), then the name of the file, then the name of the game. For HFSDB, it is advisable to check 'Force MD5 before scraper' in the 'Scrape Options' tab if the MD5s do not exist.
Modification: 'Rename with DAT' button: If the processed system is one of the Arcade systems declared in the %appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\Database\arcade_systems_list.txt file, the search will first be done on the file name which in Arcade is normalized and the result will be very reliable, otherwise if the previous search does not return anything, the search will be done as before via MD5 / CRC32.
Modification: Support for other .dat / .xml file formats for 'Arcade to Database' and 'Rename with Dat' procedures. Sample .dat and .xml files can be found in %appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\Database\tosec\samples and %appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\Database\dat\samples
Fixed: On launch, error messages now appear after the Splashscreen
Fixed: when creating M3U files on 1.9.1.2 Beta versions, sometimes spaces were added before the .m3u (thanks Cdaters)
Fixed: The linked values ??displayed in the combobox associated with the 'DB fields' in the 'Search' tab take into account 'Show hidden' and are updated when entering the 'Search' tab
Fixed: When deleting unused images, images referenced in <folder> tags are no longer deleted
Fixed: The <emulator> tag is written again in gamelists when creating gamelists
Fixed: Bug: Choosing Fanart in replacement modules caused a crash
Fixed: Bug: Searching with MD5 on Screenscraper must give more precise results (passing the system as an argument)
Fixed: Bug of previous Beta versions (only) which caused a slowdown when loading gamelist containing more than 1360 roms.
Fixed: Bug that could occur following the implementation of API call limitations on HFSDB.
Deletion: Button 'Delete Rom' of the panel 'Rom information': use the button 'Delete Rom' of the panel 'Possible actions on selected Roms'
