[SOFT] Arcade Manager : install overlays and manage roms in a user-friendly, fast and cross-platform GUI

[cosmo0]

@mathieum hey !
Thanks but I already saw it. They don't have as many overlays as I do They do have a few more but they're not 16:9.
The big difference is that they have copied all overlays for the clones, and they have generic ones when no one exists. So it looks like they have 6000 overlays but on reality there are less than 1000, and I have more than 1200 unique ones.

Thank you very much for the good program you have done. It's good work.

@cosmo0 This Arcademanager is GREAT! Pretty cool stuff! Now, I do agree that you should look into "The Bezel Project". They have a lot of individual bezels for a lot of systems! Because of you and your Arcademanager I was able to use them manually I had no way of making it work, and the Recalbox wiki is plain wrong. It does not work. But the way you did it with a subfolder for the config + image, and use a config file to point to that work great. I now am able to manually add bezels fom "The Bezel Project". Add those bezels to your manager and make it easy for every system available

@cirion the wiki is editable by anyone, so you can help the community by correcting it ;).

@paradadf I have done it... But I suck at getting it to look right, feel free to clean up my info. Look at the bottom:

Hi! I use this software a lot and I would appreciate an update for Recalbox 6. Thanks

@cosmo0 We miss you!!

The best software to download overlays for our Recalbox.

Hopefully one day you can get an updated version.

Thanks for your work!

New version, converted to .Net and fixes a bunch of bugs: https://github.com/cosmo0/arcade-manager/releases

[cosmo0]

New version, because the previous one had a breaking bug.

https://github.com/cosmo0/arcade-manager/releases/tag/v6.2

Also adds support for roms in .7z format, and adds CSV lists for MAME 2003+ and FBNeo 1.0.0.2

[cosmo0]

New version: with a wizard ! It allows you to easily copy a selection of great games in a few clicks.

https://github.com/cosmo0/arcade-manager/releases/tag/v7.0-rc1

The app is now translated; for now only in french, let me know if you can help!

[cosmo0]

Update release because the wizard wasn't working anymore (oops)
