nexusone13 Hi All, New version of ARRM available : 1.8.5.0 (04/16/2020) The bezels / overlays now follow the rules of prioritization by country If user doesn't have windows media player, application will not crash anymore, but video will not display Addition of the maximum speed according to the number of participation on Screenscraper in the form 'Login Screenscraper' Adding a button 'Force MD5 before scraping' in the tab 'Scrap Options' allows to calculate the MD5 (if not already present), before the scrap.

If speedup is activated (Tools tab) the TheGamesDB tables are not loaded at launch.

BZZ Jay put in your IP, select ststem, press scrape.... no black magic if you are happy with what is already pre-set.
Jay Well after 2 hours of messing about, ive got it connecting and scraping. Although id like the same default setup for all machines. but it seems to defualt to its own setting for each system. And chooses title image instead of screenshot. Cant get that bit working. And why does it not save the gamelist until you close the app?
Jay Ok well all working good now, just had to sit down for a few hours and play. Just have one issue, when creating the mixes, it is always selecting the TITLE screenshot and not an INGAME screenshot. Only i dont have the TITLE option ticked? https://www.dropbox.com/s/qrwauflamucciu3/IMG_20200420_080054.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/r1t3yfg7b4cbx8b/IMG_20200420_080044.jpg?dl=0
nexusone13 Jay you have to go to the 'Main Options' Tab then click on 'Assignment of media Screenscraper + Media Order' then check if you have this settings : SCREENSHOT: ss BOXART: box-3D CARTRIDGE: support-2D WHEEL: wheel MARQUEE: WHEEL THUMBNAIL: BOXART VIDEO: video-normalized If you have currently Screentitle instead of Screenshot, you must have put SCREENSHOT: sstitle So change it to SCREENSHOT : SS, then re-scrap. Wiki : http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=media-assignation-en#media_assignment
Jay Great, found it thanks, didnt realise you could click on that :). It says i have hit a daily scrape limit (430), so will have to try again tomorrow. Theres about 1500 roms in this folder because they are a mix of EU US JAP, but cant separate them.
nexusone13 Jay did you create an account on Screenscraper ? As a non member there is a limit of 10000 requests per Day. As a member it will be raise to 20000. When you have an account, you have to enter credentials in arrm : http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=screenscraper_identification_en
Jay Ah yes just did that, still learning :). I did wonder why it was so slow lol I have created an account but i cant work out how to tip, it keeps going back to french.
Jay Just did it, but it does not seem to link to my account, and the page keeps default back to french so cant read anything, what a total nightmare.
nexusone13 Jay you have to join them on the discord so they can link your tip to your screenscraper account
