Hello everyone, I wrote this little utility to make it easier to manage gamelist.xml, scrape media, manage overlays and various other features for Recalbox,...

It's an internal hard drive with batocera x86 installed. I've just been copying over ROMs over to share directory. The above links are pics thanks.

ushilives I think you have to configure your share disk In batocera settings. Go to "System Settings" and select the right disk (the one with the share directory) in 'Storage Device', then restart.

nadenislamarre Does Batocera use the sorting used in the gamelist to display game in the interface. I've implemented a sorting method for outputed gamelist in my little soft ARRM, and I wonder if Batocera takes in account this sorting or use it's own sorting method ? Thanks 🙂

When i go into System Settings i have 2 options for storage device (Internal & AnyExternal). I have tried both of these and they won't load up my new roms, also i went into Games Settings and selected Update Games Lists each time but that doesn't even make a difference. The roms i used are .zip files and i even extracted one of them.

Flashed Batocera on an SD Card and used internal hard drive for roms and it worked! Not sure what happened when i tried everything on one hard drive and no luck. I am going to create 2 partitions on the same hard drive, one for batocera and one for roms and see if it works.

nexusone13 I am very grateful for your work!!! Thank you!!! Everything works, there are a couple of comments on the translation into Russian
publisher - издатель
rating - оценка
number of players can be reduced - кол-во игроков
select none - отменить выбор
display - показать
hidden list - скрыть список
favorite - избранное
favorites list - список избранного
mix'me - моя сборка
browse directory - просмотр папки
scrap options - настройки(опции) поиска данных
and about 30-40% more can be corrected

Added a button "Update of the Core" in the panel 'Actions possible on selected Roms' which allows to automatically select the core best suited for arcade games (Mame, Neogeo, Fba, Fba_libretro etc. .. .) via a database (BestArcade4Recalbox-18-03-30, 1777 games listed) (request from Fourch)

The setting is done via a text file editable by the button 'Edit Arcade Core' in the tab 'General Options' Read the comments in the file before doing manipulations
ARRM searches in a database based on 'BestArcade4Recalbox-18-03-30'. It searches the game with status 3, then status 2 and finally status 1 and sets the appropriate emulator and core.
status 1: partially functioning game
