Hi All,

New version of ARRM available :

1.8.5.0 (04/16/2020)

• The bezels / overlays now follow the rules of prioritization by country
• If user doesn't have windows media player, application will not crash anymore, but video will not display
• Addition of the maximum speed according to the number of participation on Screenscraper in the form 'Login Screenscraper'
• Adding a button 'Force MD5 before scraping' in the tab 'Scrap Options' allows to calculate the MD5 (if not already present), before the scrap. The research of information will be done in priority via the MD5 of the Rom
• if MD5 is used, search doesn't use systemeID anymore, nor the filename. This makes it possible to recover the visuals and textual info of identical Rom but belonging to another platform.
• If the preset media order = "** manual **" is selected, the order information entered manually will be taken into account.
• If speedup is activated (Tools tab) the TheGamesDB tables are not loaded at launch. Faster launch

Hi All,

New version of ARRM available :

1.8.6.2 (05/09/2020)

• Add a button 'Use ARRM gamelist' which allows you to use the gamelist_ARRM.xml file (created when saving a gamelist) instead of the gamelist.xml which could have been modified by the frontend and thus was able to delete the custom tags used by ARRM.
• Addition of a checkbox 'ZIP gamelist.xml' in the tab 'Gamelist Options' which allows to zip the gamelist.xml
• Addition of a button 'Create M3U' to create .M3U files used for the multi-disc. See Wiki: http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=create_m3u_en
• Addition of a checkbox 'Pad to Keyboard cfg' in the tab 'Scrap Options', allowing to recover, on Screenscraper, for a Rom the configuration file .p2k.cfg. This file allows to assign keyboard keys to a gamepad. Useful for computers on Recalbox. Usable in the next version of Recalbox. For more information see: https://recalbox.gitbook.io/documentation/v/francais/user-avance/configurations/pad-to-keyboard
• Addition of a 'Pad 2 Keyb' button for systems and Roms allowing to edit the .p2k.cfg file
• Addition of the tag <genreid> (numeric id) in the gamelist.xml. It allows you to normalize the genre (only 1 genre) and can be used in a future version of Recalbox to make filters on this <genreid>. The <genreid> is recovered during the scrape. The <gender> tag remains present.
• Addition of the tag <adult> in the gamelist (set to true if one of the genres contains adult otherwise to false) which will be used in a future version of recalbox
• Fixed a bug that caused the Mix'Me module to crash after a template change (thank you Nordicpower)
• Ability to capitalize textual info when saving the gamelist.xml (button: 'XML in uppercase' under the gamelist.xml creation button) Request from Pegoncology. Please note: you can only go back to lower case by rewriting the texts.
• Export test of the gamelist.xml in hyperspin format (button: 'Export as Hyperspin XML' under the create button of the gamelist.xml)
• Correction of a sorting problem when clicking on the columns of the database
• Correction of a bug on the Dev preview overlay when a priority overlay was present
• Various bug fixes

@nexusone13 bonjour ! il semble qu'on ne puisse pas s'enregistrer sur ton Wiki, je n'ai pas reçu l'email de validation et je ne parviens pas à retenter l'inscription.

Egalement, j'ai noté un petit bug sur l'interface de démarrage (en bas)

voilà voilà, merci pour ton travail

[greatxerox]

@greatxerox et du coup, je ne vois pas de bouton de validation , je suis obligé d'appuyer sur Echap pour passer à la suite

[nexusone13]

@greatxerox salut . Il n est pas nécessaire de s enregistrer sur le wiki. Pour ton pb de non visibilité du bouton voir le wiki : http://www.jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=faq_fr#sous_windows_10_le_programme_n_affiche_pas_correctement_les_textes_ainsi_que_les_formulaires

[soaresden]

@nexusone13 , Superbe outil très efficace et robuste ! Un Must-have vraiment !

Petite suggestion d'utilisation personnelle :

• J'aimerai bien pouvoir generer grace à ARRM un fichier HTML avec toute ma bibliotheque + les descriptions et images. Afin de les mettre sur mon serveur et pouvoir filtrer/rechercher dans ma collection ! (une bibliotheque imagée/video de ce que l'on possede comme le menu sous recalbox mais en html)

• Utilisation subsidiaire également, c'est d'obtenir la taille des fichiers. L'utilisation serait de pouvoir partager ça à un ami, qu'il coche sa selection(en live, ca lui dit l'espace nécessaire a la copie, y compris avec les fichiers images/videos), et en ayant fini, que ca me donne un lien, ou un code html qui me permettrai à moi, de générer une copie de sa sélection pour sa carte SD. (un assistant de transfert en fait)

Je l'ai fait sous VBA Excel, mais c'est super long et je pense que ça gagnerai a y être intégré

[nexusone13]

Bonjour, @soaresden , tu peux utiliser le bouton 'Exporter CSV' qui te permettra de récupérer un fichier .CSV dans le répertoire du système en cours, que tu pourras manipuler à ta guise.

[soaresden]

Merci pour cette réponse rapide, mais c'est déja ce que je fais.

J'ai le fichier XML qui est ouvert sur Excel et j'ai toutes les données. J'aimerai juste récupérer un fichier index.html qui permettra de faire des filtres via navigateur !

Ce que j'ai fait, c'est :

• Lister tous les fichiers gamelist
  

• Ouvrir tous les xml en une seule feuille (qui possede toutes les colonnes) et lister les jeux. En somme c'est la bibliotheque entière.

• j'ai aussi une macro qui va lister l'intégralité des fichiers du chemin, et me donner la taille. Je raccorde celle ci comme une donnée en plus

• (pour info) Une page de stats, juste pour savoir

• ma page d'extraction :
  

A partir de la je peux sauvegarder en html via Excel. Mais ce n'est pas tellement fait pour ..

Si ca t'interesse, je peux t'envoyer mon code vba (a retranscrire en vb.net ou que sais-je ?)

[nexusone13]

@soaresden , pourquoi ne créés tu pas, en VBA, un fichier txt/html en parcourant toutes les lignes de ton excel, en récupérant les données et les mettant dans les balises html que tu souhaites ?

Désolé @soaresden , mais je n'envisage pas de générer des fichiers html comme tu le souhaites, directement via, ARRM. Je propose l export CSV afin que les utilisateurs puissent ensuite manipuler les données à leur guise
cdlt

[soaresden]

@nexusone13
C'est ce que j'ai fini par faire. Mais je dois rouvrir les XML un par un sous ARRM, ca aurait pu etre plus rapide de prendre en compte la bibliothèque complète.

Cette fonction CSV est inutile car Excel gère très bien les tableaux XML

Je rappelle le besoin : **une vue globale ** de sa bibliothèque (comme Recalbox lancé) (titre/screen et description).
Je trouves dommage de ne pas y repenser à 2 fois à cette feature (Cela marque une grosse différence avec Skrapper et autres)

Je joins mon fichier Excel (avec macros) pour ceux qui le veulent :
Il est tout préparé, il y'a juste à insérer le nom du répertoire en B1.
Le fichier va boucler sur l'intégralité des systèmes et ouvrant plus de 50 gamelist.
Cliquer sur les boutons 1 à 3 (c'est loooooong, c'est du Excel et ce n'est pas adapté)

ps: c'est de la version beta, ca fonctionne chez moi, je ne fais pas de support

• in the "Search" tab, the "Genre" combobox is replaced by a 2 combo box (combo box on the available fields, and combobox on the values ​​associated with this field). It is also possible to type the text you want in the combobox (Nordicpower suggestion)

• Taking into account of the systems 'model2', 'model3', 'mugen' under Batocera.plus.

• Addition of a 'Force' checkbox in the 'Gamelist Options' tab which allows to save the gamelist.xml without displaying the dialog box (Nordicpower suggestion)

@nexusone13 Hello

Just to inform you that several users got in touch with me to tell me they have issues with openbor scrapped images not using the right screen from Next Pixel theme (maybe others new systems may have pb as well).
