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.

@nexusone13 excellent! Thanks!

@nexusone13 Salut, encore un petit bug si l'on scrappe un fullset megadrive par exemple, avec l'option JAPAN Media il rajoute JAP dans le nom de l'image mais avec l'option US Media il garde le même nom que la version box tout court du coup impossible d'avoir certains jeux avec la jaquette Europe et USA.
Tu peut testé avec les roms "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Europe).zip" et "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (USA).zip".

[nexusone13]

@secamfr je modifie et je te fais passer une version pour test

[nexusone13]

@secamfr Je t'ai mis le lien dans le chat pvt

[Secamfr]

@nexusone13 Beta testé, c'est parfait ! Par contre j'ai remarqué un message d'erreur qui s'affiche parfois pourtant l'image est bien sauvé "!!!!! Ne peut pas compresser le fichier PNG. Code erreur : 2"

Hi All

New version available for ARRM

1.7.2.0 (04/14/2019)

• bug fixed: on the Recalbox, the button 'stop the emulation station' and 'restart the recalbox' did not work properly.
• add the suffix _USA for qd a media USA is found and the checkbox media_USA is checked (Secamfr request)
• Added a tab "Tools"
• Added button "Sort es_systems.cfg" in the tab "Tools" which displays a module allowing to sort the file es_systems.cfg on 6 possible criteria. (cf WIKI)
    A backup of the old file is created for security.
    The systems are referenced in a pre-configured systems_sorting.txt file that you can edit to add your systems present in your es_systems.cfg but missing from this file.
• Added a "Backup configuration files" button in the "Tools" tab which makes it possible to make a backup of the files present in "%appdata%\roaming\nexouille soft\arrm\database" which you could have modified / personalized.
    Use before uninstalling the application if you have modified some of these files.
• Taking into account the systems present in Recalbox 6
• Bug fix: In order for the auto template for a system to work, the Auto association template had to be checked; corrected. Both operate independently
• Added a 'Missing Overlays' button to highlight games whose name appears in the 'missing_overlays% SYSTEM% .txt' file created during a previous overlay search.
• Updated emulators/cores for Recalbox and Batocera used with the 'Reset Core/Emu' button.

Salut,

A défaut d'avoir à ce jour une version Arrm compatible avec Linux, j'ai testé la version sur Windows voici mon retour :

Une interface graphique sur un seul onglet avec toutes les fonctions c'est un très bon choix.

Des infos bulles pour nous guider sur les choix c'est très bien. (prise en main assez simple après quelques minutes)

Un accès simple et intuitif au share/rom distant de Recalbox.

J'ai d'abord testé sur un dossier avec peu de roms pour essayer différents réglages (nombreux, variés et très satisfaisants).

Le résultat des recherches ne m'a pas retournés d'erreurs sur l'affichage des images mix ou sur le nom des roms.

L’édition automatisé des gamelist dans le répertoire correspondant est géniale. On nous laisse le choix de remplacer le gamelist existant ou pas pour finaliser le résultat.

Les raccourcis à l’écran pour visualiser les dossiers des roms c'est parfait.

A ce jour c'est l'application de scrap externe qui me convient le mieux et la plus aboutie.

Bravo et merci @nexusone13 (Franck) ainsi que les premiers utilisateurs et testeurs qui permettent de faire progresser le développement de cette application.

Je suis très reconnaissant de votre investissement.

[nexusone13]

@p0cth un grand merci pour ce retour. Sincèrement

Hello, I have a doubt about which options I have to check (or uncheck) in order to have only the Arcade Profile picture, without the flyer (circled in yellow). Thanks!

[nexusone13]

@jorgemagana Hi,
In your example, The boxart (wor) is the one displayed on your screenshot.
On 'screenscraper' there is another boxart available boxart (SS) : (SS) media are specifically created by 'screenscraper', but are not 'official' if I understood correctly.
I'm working on a new release with a ' Force SS media' checkbox (another one ) to force ARRM to grab (SS) media. I'll send you a beta version on pvt chat.
For now you can check the 'Box 3D' to display a boxart which look nicer

[jorgemagana]

@nexusone13 Thanks for your answer, I found a solution doing this:

1. Select "Show mix model"

2. Select "Edit XML file"

3. Delete "boxart" in Data- Element-Layer4

I got the "arcade profile" image!

[nexusone13]

@jorgemagana Well done
I thought you still wanted the boxart. I misunderstood
I advise you to create your own mix, by copying the directory of this mix under another name and editing as you did the data of the xml, and especially by changing the name of the mix in this tag <name>Arcade Profile</name>. Because during an uninstall of the application to install a new version, the original mixes are replaced, but not the mixes created by the user.
