      j'ai téléchargé la dernière version du soft pour scrapper 3345 roms advmame, j'ai configuré avec mon compte.
      je comprend pas pourquoi au bout de 45min il vérifie le hash et quil a fait que 350 roms alors qu'avec des anciennes versions du logiciel en 45 min il avait déjà plus de la moitié.
      J'ai choisi mix 3img
      temps estimé : 4h00 pour ce scrap.
      J'ai testé en semaine le matin de bonne à 5h00 et pareil !

        @acris There must have been a problem on the server, it was redoing the SNES and it was super fast already the NES soon after, it was forgotten in time and it is already more than 4 hours and still not finished

          C'est possible que ca vienne du serveur car j'ai eu un mal fou a recevoir mon mail après inscription, et pareil pour être loggé dans UXS, j'ai mis une bonne heure avant de pouvoir y accéder.

          Une question s'il vous plait: comment "voir" le mode "mix d'image" dans Recalbox? C'est spécifique a un thème en particulier?

                  je ne comprends pas, j'ai enfin réussi à scapper mes roms advmame (parent only avec neogeo) en choissant mame, cependant les roms neogeo ont pas été scrappé (logique)
                  je recommence en choisissant ajouter les roms manquantes dans la config général puis je choisis neogeo et là
                  il trouve rien enfin si les images c'est bon mais au niveau des noms rien, et il a supprimé ce qui était déjà existant.
                  Logiquement il aurait dû laisser le gamelist.xml et ajouté uniquement ce que je lui demandai

                    @screech, @cotedeporc From what I have been able to verify, modifying the parameters of pngquant in config.xml of the Foolscreen mix does not work. It seems as if the foolscreen mix does not get to use pngquant or even it may not be using by UXS. I have modified the settings in the config.xml of each foolscreen mix, I have scraped and just like before the change, there has been no compression in the png. I have passed pngquant by the result with the same parameters that I put in the config xml and compresses the images leaving them to 20%-25% of its weight. It seems that Foolscreen or UXS are not doing all their work well.

                    @cotedeporc On the other hand, in the animated gifs you show, there are mix images that do not exist in UXS: Vectrex, PSP, NGPC etc ...

                      De ce que je vois tu as du cocher "ajout des roms manquantes"
                      ça te créer ce genre "d'entrée" vide dans le fichier XML
                      Du coup quand tu passe en "Mise à jour" il ne rescrape pas ces roms (qui existe déjà dans ton fichier XML mais vide)
                      Reessaye sans cocher cette option dans ton scrape de départ. (En toute logique, les rom NeoGeo sont des enfants des roms Mame... donc il devrait les trouver aussi :S)

                      Tiens moi au courant.

                      @Pepe
                      Where did you make your modification ?
                      You need to do it in the ZIP file.
                      (For exemple, open one MIX profil with winzip, open the config file, do your modification, save, and update the zip file)
                      If you do this directly in the MIX folder (not in the zip) every time you open UXS, it will update the Folder by unziping the ZIP file. So you loose you modification.

                      I did some try, and pngquant work well... 😉 so it must work this way 😉

                        @screech The config.xml files that I have modified, have been in the compressed file of the mix, I have decompressed them, modified the config.xml and compressed it again but foolscreen does not compress the png. I say that I do not know if it is a foolscreen or UXS issue for that reason I mentioned @cotedeporc and you.

                          If it doesn't work, I think it's a UXS problem :S

                          Can you copy past your modification ?

                          normally, the standard thing is :
                          <Compression>
                          <use>yes</use>
                          <soft>pngquant.exe</soft>
                          <parameter>--force --verbose --ordered --speed=1 --quality=30-90 --ext .png</parameter>
                          </Compression>

                          So, UXS transform that in :
                          xxxPathtoUXSxxx\Ressources\pngquant.exe --force --verbose --ordered --speed=1 --quality=30-90 --ext .png xxxfiletocompressxxx

                          If you take a look at the logx.txt in the log folder, you must see a line like :
                          [12:05:44] - > PNGQuant command: "C:\Developpement\Github\BIN\Ressources\pngquant.exe" --force --verbose --ordered --speed=1 --quality=30-90 --ext .png "C:\Developpement\Github\BIN\TEMP\MIX3\MIX\screenTEMP.png"
                          [12:05:45] - PNG Optimization (PNGQuant): C:\Developpement\Github\BIN\TEMP\MIX3\MIX\screenTEMP.png(416 KB -> 110 KB)

                          (I just did it to have an exemple ^^)

                            Hello,

                            I think, but I can't verify it yet, that I disactivate the PNG compression for the FoolScreen Mix.

                            If you put, as @screech says:
                            <Compression>
                            <use>yes</use>
                            it will work.

                              @cotedeporc, @screech I apologize for my poor eyesight. In effect compression is disabled in foolscreen Mixes. Corresponding with what I noticed that foolscreen was not compressing the png. I do not understand how I escaped that detail when I modified the compression factor in the mix. I am modifying the mix again to enable compression, when I have been able to scrape again, I will comment the result, which I hope is the correct one.

                                  @Pepe,

                                  If I'm right, I send to @screech, to add this missings Mix to UXS (via GitHub).

                                  @screech,
                                  Is it normal that the new Mixs are not available? It needs a new version?
                                  Maybe I post them in the wrong repo?

                                    Oups !! My fault...

                                    I had added the MIX, but haven't updated the list and preview...

                                    It's done 😉

                                      @cotedeporc Je me suis permis de modifier "légèrement" tes descriptions en y ajoutant un lien sur le sujet de ton Thème 😉

                                      Du coup quand on dl un des mix, dans la fenêtre de sélection, il y a un bouton "Link" en plus qui renvoi sur le fofo 😉

                                      J'ai aussi remis la "source d'inspiration Kent79" présente dans les previews mais plus dans la description... Meme si aujourd'hui ça en est loin, ça fait pas de mal de cité l'inspiration ^^ (l'image de la borne au minimum est de lui ^^)

                                      (ça m'a d'ailleurs permis de voir qu'il y a un bug sur le module de download des MIX : pas de description et l'image empty est identique à la full... faut que je corrige ça :S )

                                            As you see you can put your own parameter 😉 and even choose an other software like optipng as post action 😉

                                            @screech This comment makes me think that I could do a second pass on the images in this case with optipng. Have I understood correctly?
                                            If so, what would be the way? Repeating the compression section in config.xml?, or just adding another compressor inside the compression section?
