[jorgemagana]

Hello, today the screenscraper site is working again, but I can not access with ARRM 1.8.7.3. When I click con "Check Screen Scraper" a message says that server is not responding.

Hi All,

New version of ARRM available :

1.8.7.4 (10/27/2020)

• Fix connection problems on Screenscraper
• Addition of a 'Video+Overlay' button allowing to create Video + Overlay (like the birthday videos of Screenscraper) based on the ARRM templates. They have the suffix -mixvideo. See WIKI : http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=video_overlay_fr
• Improved media management in the MixMe module (the selected media are no longer copied into the destination directory with their original name)
• Fixed bug in mass replacement
• Stop loading if corrupt gamelist.xml
• Addition of GenreID in the 'ROM Informations' Panel
• Addition of a combobox displaying the label of the genreID. It is possible to choose the genreID via the combobox or by writing it in the dedicated textbox. By clicking on the eye you can view the genreid? label association file
• Addition of a contextual menu on the database (right click on the database to make it appear)
• The 'Check ARRM updates' button now indicates the presence of a Beta / Patch
• Fixed the 'systemes_tgdb.txt' file which generated an error when scraping with 'TheGamesDb.net'
• Fixed a bug when moving game from one system to another
• During a complete installation the file "template_association.txt" is copied as "template_association.ARRM". When executing ARRM, if no existing "template_association.txt" file is present, the "template_association.ARRM" file is copied into "template_association.txt". This is in order not to overwrite your personalization of the file.
• Addition of an "All maps" checkbox in the 'images options' tab which allows you to retrieve all the available maps. Only the first will be assigned to the <map> tag of the gamelist
• The button 'Delete unused images and videos' can be applied on multisystems (several systems checked)
• Fixed a bug when changing the interface language (switching from French or English to other languages causes a blockage)
• Added corrected templates_association for new Recablox 7.0 systems
• Correction of the media path when they do not start with ./ in gamelist.xml (case of media scraped via the internet scraper Recalbox 7.0, which prevented ARRM from displaying the media scraped via Recalbox) (Thank you Flomartin)
• Addition of a "Replacements" tab which allows you to filter and then apply modifications / replacements on the database. See wiki : http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=interface-en#replacements (Suggestion Nordicpower)

If you already have version 1.8.7.2 or 1.8.7.3 you can download only the executable alone + some configuration files here: http://jujuvincebros.fr/telechargements2/category/12-arrm-executable-only

Hi all,

A new version of ARRM is available :

1.8.7.5 (11/11/2020)

• Addition in the Bezels / Overlays section (Images Options tab) of a custom button that allows you to resize the Overlays + their configuration file to the desired screen size

• Taking into account of the new path for system overlays on Recalbox> 7.0

• The 'Missing overlays' button now automatically selects the Roms that do not have an overlay (the search is done in the overlays directory).

• Addition of a “Copy Pad2Key” button which allows to send, for the selected systems, a generic .p2k.cfg file ( found in %appdata%\nexouille soft\arrm\ressources ) (thank you soaresden)

• The pad2key files for Batocera are recoverable (rom_file.keys format) during scrape. You must have checked the 'Pad 2 Key cfg' checkbox in the 'Scrape Options' tab

• Update of the various configuration files for the new Batocera-29 systems

• Addition of a “TopStaff ? Favorites” checkbox in the “Scrap Options” tab which puts in favorites the games selected by the Screenscraper team.

• Addition of an 'HTML systems' button in the 'Tools' tab which generates an HTML file, very basic, for the selected systems, allowing to view the content of each system (roms, images, manual, video, textual information ). On large systems, processing can take a long time. View example : https://streamable.com/jy6ceq

• Addition of a template (classic and video+overlay) mix_screenscraper_birthday

• Bug correction: when using MixMe, if the source image was in the media directory, the suffix (-fanart, -boxart etc …) was not added.

• Fixed a bug with the button 'Delete unused images and videos' which removed images suffixed '-map' (thanks soaresden)

• Fixed the behavior of the 'Get Video' button on the 'Images options' tab

• Fixed a bug: when moving a rom via the 'move to a folder' button the .p2k.cfg file was not moved (thank you soaresden)

• Support for <kid>, <adult>, <id> (Screenscraper Game Id) tags

• Addition in the 'Information Rom' Panel of the GameID, Kid and Adult fields

• Addition of a 'Use GameID' checkbox which allows, when the GameID is entered, to search in priority with the GameID on Screenscraper. (it is possible to force the scrap of a particular game by entering its gameid and checking 'Use GameID'

• Reorganization of tags in the gamelist (more readable)

• Removal of the unnecessary 'Box 3D' checkbox: the choice of the boxart format is made in the "Assignment of media screenscraper" menu

• Correction of a bug in the replacement module: modification of a value of a field

• Bug correction: when Mix and Recover Video were checked, the video was retrieved twice

• Fixed bug when moving rom between directories

Bonjour @nexusone13.

Je voudrai savoir s'il est possible de mettre à jour mes gamelist de chaque emulateur avec les nouvelles valeurs de scrap pour les menus virtuels (par genre, multiplayer...) et avec ou pas les Pad-2-Keyboardt.

Mes derniers full scrap sont de mai 2020... et ayant perdu mes données de mon ordi, je voudrai eviter de devoir tout rescraper les gamelist avec ce que j'ai déjà déjà dedans (image, video) sur ma clef de mon pi.

Merci pour ton aide précieuse à ce sujet.

[nexusone13]

Salut @goroots
Peux-tu venir sur le Discord textuel : https://discord.gg/p7QsBTS ce sera plus facile et rapide pour échanger.

Apple II - same as above

Apple 2G - same as above

Arcade alternative - the "crt" look with marquee / game name bottom right, and no box art, as its an arcade game

Arcade alternative 2 - ditto - the "crt" look with marquee / game name bottom right, a generic arcade machine bottom left, and no box art, as its an arcade game

Arcade Atomiswave alternative - same as above, only with a pic of an Atomiswave arcade machine bottom left

My code was a mess, so Ive tried to tidy it up - if anyone has any issues, let me know so I can fix them

[nexusone13]

@RustyMG Thx
Will be in the next release, and already in the ARRM Templates download section

[RustyMG]

@nexusone13
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.

[RustyMG]

@nexusone13

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.

[RustyMG]

@nexusone13
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,
Another theme.
This time its for the ScummVM adventure games

Again, theme is in the link above.

[RustyMG]

@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.
