Hi all,
A new version of ARRM is available :
1.8.9.0 (04/11/2021)
- The systems to be managed as directories (PC, DOS, Windows, PS3 …) are indicated in the file systemes_as_folder.txt * In tools, addition of a combobox allowing to edit the ARRM config files.
- Addition of a checkbox in the “Gamelist Options” tab which allows on Batocera when saving the gamelist to save the core / emulator per game in a text file. You just have to copy the lines of this file into your batocera.conf file
- Addition of a combobox in the “Arcade” tab which allows you to select in your database the Arcade Roms whose selected core is the best. You can then apply the desired core / emulator to these Roms using the ‘Reinit Core / Emulator’ button . based on Roslof’s . This is an alternative to the ‘Update Core’ button which is now located in the same ‘Arcade’ tab. See tutorial : http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=arcade_best_core_en
- Addition of a checkbox ‘Check if media exists’ in the ‘General options’ tab: When loading the gamelist, checks if the referenced media exist locally, otherwise the media reference is deleted from the database
- Modification of the button ‘Media exists?’ in panel ‘Actions possible on selected Roms’: When loading the gamelist, checks if the referenced media exist locally, otherwise the media reference is deleted from the database. If the ‘Find missing images’ checkbox is checked in the ‘General options’ tab, ARRM tries to find the media locally ")
- Support des tags BOXBACK, KIDGAME, GAMETIME dans les gamelists.
- Boxback can now be used in your Mix templates. cf Wiki Create your own template for ARRM
- Boxback, Titleshot, and Fanart are now downloadable from TheGamesDB
- Added boxback and overlay in HTML Generator
- When “No image, only texts” is checked, only the media checked in the ‘Force Media Download’ section are recovered.
- The ‘Check ScreenScraper’ Button now displays Scrape quotas / limitations on Screenscraper
- ‘Recompose image’ is faster
- Addition of a converter from Overlay Recalbox to Overlay Batocera in the ‘Tools’ tab (indicate the path of the recalbox overlays folder, then the path of the temporary folder which will host the converted overlays). See tutorial : http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=convert_overlay_recalbox_to_batocera-en
- The name of the Batocera bezels/overlays folders can be changed in the ‘Folders’ tab (formerly ARRM created a ‘mybezels4-3’ and ‘mybezels16-9’ folder)
- Checking and normalization of folder names in the ‘Folders’ tab to avoid inadvertent deletion when using the ‘Delete unused images and videos’ button in the ‘Images Options’ tab
- Moved the gamelist export checkboxes in the ‘Gamelist’ tab
- Checkbox ‘Export as Pegasus’, allows to save the gamelist.xml in a metadata.txt format in the system directory. Can be used with the FrontEnd Pegasus (request of ExarKunIv from the Retropie forum). See tutorial : http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=export_gamelist_fr
- Checkbox ‘Export as Attract Mode’, allows to save the gamelist.xml in the Romlists folder of Attractmode in an AttractMode compatible format. Remember to indicate this Romlist folder in the ‘Folders’ tab. (request from BadFurDay from the Retropie forum). See tutorial : http://jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=export_gamelist_fr
- Modification of the database in order to have a visualization of genres when loading an Arcade romset without gamelist.xml. This allows you to make selections on unwanted genres and also clones in order to remove them.
- Added an ‘Arcade Clone’ button in Arcade Tab that allows you to search and filter Clones of Roms for Arcade systems. The line (Clone Of: rom_name -> rom_title) is added in the ‘temoporary_rom’ field . The filter (temporary_rom like ‘*Clone Of:*’) is added to the filters of the Query combobox
- When loading roms from Arcade systems without gamelist.xml, ARRM indicates if the rom is a clone in the description field and the temporary field (Clone Of : rom_name -> rom_title). Useful for removing clones before launching a scrape.
