Added translation of the interface in Chinese (thank you @lyon00)

1.7.6.3 (06/10/2019)

The logs are centralized in a subdirectory (logs_arrm) of the selected system.
When 'Keep rom name' is checked, 'Add disk' & 'clean name' are disabled
Database update: rom / core arcade compatibility (BestArcade4Recalbox-19-05-09).
Add in the tools tab of a textbox to modify the compression parameters of pngequant (request of Ismaily T. M. on the JujuVinceBros facebook page)
Added in the tools tab a button 'Update Best Arcade Core' to update the database with the best core arcade based games. Uses the files 'fba_libretro.csv', 'mame2003.csv', 'mame2010.csv' from BestArcade4Recalbox-19-05-09 list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F5tBguhRxpj1AQcnDWF6AVSx4av_Gm3cDQedQB7IECk/edit?usp=sharing. These files are located in '%appdata%\nexouille soft\arrm\database'. The 'Update Core' button uses this database.

1.7.6.1

When adding disk taking into account of [Part x of x] in the file name
When adding disk taking into account references memory sizes (16k) (48k) (128k). I use it for my collection of Roms Zx Spectrum which proposed 3 sizes different memories and therefore slightly different Roms.

Ability to add a video manually to a Rom via the 'Video' button in the game card (Jay's request)
Ability to stop the various treatments applied to selected Roms.
Ability to modify the timeout value on web requests (via the 'Tools' tab). Increase the value when scrap server is overloaded.
Use the 32bits or 64bits version of pngequant (compressor PNG) depending on your environment.
When recovering Video only, '4 images' mode does not need to be activated.
Ability to recover the 'cartridge' as the default image.
When launching a scrap with overlay, the previous file "missing_overlays% SYSTEM% .txt" is saved with the current date.
Added the SNES CD template

1.7.5.4 (05/18/2019)

Fixed a bug that crashed the application when duplicate search returned too many items.
Fixed bug when searching with keywords and with filters
Changed path for systems overlay path for recalbox in 'overlays_path.txt' file : /recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/overlays changed to /recalbox/share/system/.config/retroarch/overlays

Hello do you have a solution for scummvm games ? i mean i have an issue i don't know if i am the only one..
when i navigate into the gamelist of scummvm games i don't see the pictures even the description ..just the name of the game and i need to click on the game and use the down key on my xbox pad to see the pictures and description..

nexusone13

guyomemalik if you checked batocera checkbox in the batocera/screenscraper/tgbd tab, and scrap scummvm and save gamelist. Arrm will create folder information with screenshot + game information.

guyomemalik

ok i will try thanks

BZZ

since the update 5.23RC ARRM does not see Amiga. It does detect AmigaCDTV and AmigaCD32.

edit. As soon as I create folder '1' (for example) inside of Amiga folder it detects it immediately ;-)

nexusone13

Hi BZZ 🙂

In the previous Batocera version, amiga folder was like that :
\amiga\amiga1000
\amiga\amiga1200
\amiga\amiga3000
\amiga\amiga4000
\amiga\amiga500
\amiga\amiga500p
\amiga\amiga600
\amiga\amigacd32
\amiga\amigacdtv

can you tell me the new directory structure please ?

Thx

BZZ

nexusone13 I think now it is just 'amiga' 'amigacdtv' 'amigacd32' in separate folders in the main rom folder. Thank you for reply.

nexusone13

BZZ changes made. New version available this week

Wishing to change descriptions, add favorites audacity temp mail origin or hide some roms in a simple way and scape some roms on ScreenScraper, MameDb and theGamesDb, I wrote this little utility ARRM for my personal use.

BZZ

BZZ

nexusone13 I just updated it... now it does not open at all ;-)

Tomsen just download one of the ones Andearoid suggested. You just need a PC on the network you put the IP of that PC in one of the ones you will pick and it will scrape for you.... I personally use ARRM (http://jujuvincebros.fr/telechargements2/file/10-arrm-another-recalbox-roms-manager). Check this topic nexusone13 I am sure Nexusone will help you if you have trouble ;-)
