[SOFT] Arrm (Another Recalbox Roms Manager)

[FloppyFred]

Sinon j'adore ce programme, l'option Mix-Me est magique quand il manque un media sur screenscraper!

Si j'avais une suggestion: je sais qu'il y a moyen de scraper des sous-dossiers (je ne parle pas des roms dans ce sous-dossier mais du sous-dossier en lui même) je l'avais fait pour retropie il y a plus d'un an, manuellement.

En gros, par exemple dans la gamelist cela donnait:
pour une rom: <path>./sousdossier/nomdelarom.zip</path>
pour un sousdossier: <path>./sousdossier/</path>
si ma mémoire est bonne.
Et ainsi mettre des images pour les sous-dossiers en eux-même (action, aventure, rpg, etc... ou USA, Europe, Japon, Homebrew, Hack, etc...) Apres ce n'est peut être pas facile vu que les programmes de scrap fonctionnent en reconnaissant des extensions.

Aussi y a t'il un moyen de n'avoir que les images mix dans "downloaded_images" pour recalbox? J'ai trouvé une parade en créant un petit fichier batch avec:

del *boxart_arrm.png
del *cartridge_arrm.png
del *screenshot_arrm.png
del *wheel_arrm.png
del *.mp4

pour ne garder que les fichiers *mix_arrm.png pour ensuite recharger le système dans arrm afin qu'il détecte que des fichiers ont disparus et qu'il clean automatiquement la gamelist (sans oublier de la sauvegarder)

Sinon bonne continuation et un gros gg pour ce super programme qui pour moi est le plus complet: scraper, éditer, mixer soit même ses propres images ! bref un must-have !

ps: je ne comprend pas pourquoi le post de ce programme n'est pas épinglé... si jamais un modo passe par ici... ce programme le mérite largement

@floppyfred pour n'avoir que l'image Mix, avant de scraper, il te faut désactiver le mode 4 images : onglet 'Options générales' , bouton 'Extra Tag' et désactiver le mode 4 images. Tu n'auras plus qu'une seule image.:)

[nexusone13]

@floppyfred pour ton histoire de sous dossier c jouable. Mettre une image du nom du dossier à la racine. Et lors de écriture du gamelist.xml générer XML du folder. Je m en occupe pour la version +2. Merci pour ta suggestion

[nexusone13]

@floppyfred J'ai pu mettre en place ton système de sous dossier avec icone
en fait ca marche ainsi :

\recalbox\share\roms\nes\Mario <- dossier dans lequel tu mets tes roms
pour que l'image apparaissent il faut que tu déposes une image du même nom que le dossier

\recalbox\share\roms\nes\Mario\Mario.png

Il est peut être plus judicieux de mettre les dossiers avec un '-' devant histoire qu'ils apparaissent en tête de liste.
Du coup ca donnerait ceci :
\recalbox\share\roms\nes- Mario
\recalbox\share\roms\nes\Mario- Mario.png

Lors de l'écriture du gamelist, il détecte les répertoires valides (ceux ayant une image du même nom) et crée en fin de fichier gamelist les dossiers <folder> adéquates.

Je suis en train de scraper 1000 roms Mame, et si ca ne plante pas, je te ferai passer en private l éxecutable de la dernière version.

[FloppyFred]

@nexusone13 Je pensais que désactiver le mode 4 images, désactivait le mix en lui même ! merci pour la précision ! finalement, je n'avais pas assez cherché !

Pour les sous dossiers, excellent ! hâte de tester ca !

Un grand merci pour tes réponses !

1.5.9.3 (01/24/2019)

• fixed bugs that made the application crash during scrape
• Bezels directories are created only if the bezel checkbox is checked
• new checkbox 'Manual' in 'images options' tab to download manual of the selected game. If you want only the Manual, check Manual and Check 'No image, only texts' and launch a scrap.

     folder \\recalbox\share\roms\neogeo- Metal Slug
     It will be necessary to put the image relative to the file with the same name as the file .png. Example: \\recalbox\share\roms\neogeo- Metal Slug- Metal Slug.png
     The image is necessary to take into account this combination
     You can also put a description of the folder (optional) in a text file (.txt) with the same name as the folder: \\recalbox\share\roms\neogeo- Metal Slug- Metal Slug.txt

La personnalisation des sous-dossiers fonctionne très bien!
Idéal pour trier les jeux par genre ou par continent avec de belles images pour chaque genre/continent !
Déjà dit, mais pour les nouveaux venus: c'est probablement le meilleur logiciel dans son genre !

The customization of subfolders works great !
Great for sorting games by type or by continent with nice images for each type/continent !
Already said but for the newcomers: it's probably the best software of its kind !

joli boulot ! et Merci !

Hi @virus-man
It's the english thread, so I answer in english. The french one is here: https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/11849/arrm-another-recalbox-roms-manager/184

Details about customization of subfolders with image and description

Example:
folder : \\recalbox\share\roms\neogeo\- Metal Slug

It will be necessary to put the image relative to the folder with the same name as the folder .png.

Example:
\\recalbox\share\roms\neogeo\- Metal Slug\- Metal Slug.png

The image is mandatory to take this operation into account

You can also put a description of the folder (optional) in a text file (.txt) with the same name as the folder:

Example :

\\recalbox\share\roms\neogeo\- Metal Slug\- Metal Slug.txt

Of course, your Metal slug roms have to go in this directory : \\recalbox\share\roms\neogeo\- Metal Slug

This information (folder) will be written at the end of the gamelist.xml file when saving the gamelist.
In the example, I put a hyphen in front of the directory name so that it appears at the top of the list, but it is not required

Petite précision avec la personnalisation des sous-dossiers: Recalbox les customise automatiquement avec des images des jeux inclus dans ces même sous-dossiers.
Nexusone13 m'a confirmé que ca fonctionne bien avec Batocera.
Et personnellement, cela a fonctionné avec retropie mais je n'ai pas testé avec les toutes dernières versions.

A little precision about the customization of the subfolders: Recalbox automatically customizes them with images of games included in these same subfolders.
Nexusone13 has confirmed that it works well with Batocera.
And personally, it worked with retropie but I have not tested with the latest versions.

New version available

1.6.0.1 (02/10/2019)

• Creation of a 'Temporary gamelist' checkbox in the 'Gamelist options' tab which allows to create a 'gamelist_tempo.xml' file during the progression of the scrape in the directory of the scraped system. So after a crash of the application, the next launch of a scrap on this system, a prompt asks you if you want to merge this file 'gamelist_tempo.xml' in the current 'gamelist.xml'. If an error occurs, check that the 'gamelist_tempo.xml' file contains the <gamelist> tags at the beginning of the file and </gamelist> at the end of the file.
• Keyword search is done on the description as well.
• Fix format of the dates to respect the format yyyymmddT000000 (request of Maromatze on the site Jujuvincebros.fr)
• faster scrape treatment
• When there is an error downloading an image, 2 more attempts are made.
• The log file is no longer in memory (this caused slowdowns on big scrape). Now the log is written in the "system" \ scrape_log.txt file. So during a crash, the log file is always searchable
• fix the mix_gamegear_profile template
• Add an Atomiswave template
• Added some systems Logo
• Added Atari800 & Atari800XL template

Hello. How can I update only the images of a game list?

@jorgemagana said in Arrm (Another Recalbox Roms Manager):

Hello. How can I update only the images of a game list?

Hello,
If you do not want textual information to be updated, but only graphics, just checked in 'image option tab': No Text.

[jorgemagana]

@nexusone13 excellent! Thanks!
