You have a mini portable console style Anbernic, Miyoo etc… which uses an OS (ArkOS, MuOS, OnionOS, ROCKNIX…) capable of displaying media and/or gamelists. ? This ARRM export module will allow you to export the media/gamelists/bezels from your systems managed by ARRM to these other system types.
Export to other devices (ArkOS, MuOS, OnionOS, ROCKNIX...)
Available since version 2.0.1.9
Since version 2.0.1.9, it is possible to export your Media, Roms and Gamelist.xml to other systems scraped by ARRM
This can be useful if you use portable consoles like Anbernic, MiYoo…
A big thank you to @waeggy123 for creating this article (screenshots, tutorial, tests…) and for suggestions for improvements
Procedure
- Select the system (only one) then click Show
- When the database is filled with the Roms found,
- Select the Roms you want to export
- Click the Export to others button
Configuration of the export module
After clicking on the Export to others button located in the Selected Roms tab, the settings module appears:
screens from ARRM 2.0.2.7 beta 9
- %system% : this variable can be used in directory names. It defaults to the value of the current system folder, but you can change it to respect the nomenclature of the operating system used (OnionOS, MUOS, Arkos…)
- 'Roms' folder : indicate the folder of your Roms folder on your destination system. If you are using OnionOS, the OnionOS Rom folder names link will show you the mappings between OnionOS systems and folder names
- Copy Roms?: check this box if you want the Roms to be copied.
- 'Gamelists' folder : indicate the folder in which your destination system stores the gamelists. For example OnionOS stores gamelists in the same folder as Roms
- Gamelist Name : name of the gamelist file to create (for miyoo : miyoogamelist.xml)
- Copy Gamelists?: check this box if you want the Gamelists to be copied.
- Tag to put in the gamelist: check the tags you want to appear in the gamelist. For OnionOS: Path, Name and Image are sufficient.
- 'Description→\text\gamefilename.txt (MuOS)' : is used with MuOS to create text files of the rom name that will contain the checked information. Check the information you want to see in this .txt file
- Copy text ?: check this box if you want the txt file to be created.
- Overlays' folder : indicate the folder in which your destination system stores the overlays/bezels of the games. For example: the system embedded in the Anbernic RG35XX stores the overlays/bezels at the root of the memory card in a folder named bezels and a subfolder named by the system name.
- Copy Overlays?: check this box if you want the Overlays/Bezels to be copied.
- Images' folder : indicate the folder in which your destination system stores the games' media. For example: OnionOS stores media in the Imgs directory (respect case) located in the Roms folder.
- Media choice for image : Select the ARRM already scraped media that will be use to populate gamelist image tag.
- Image Format : Select the size of image (original : keep original ARRM format). You can edit the format by clicking on the
- Copy media?: Check this box if you want the media to be copied.
- Show additional images selection panel : allows to select other images to assign to various directories. Useful for MuOs or other systems.
- Videos' folder : indicate the folder in which your destination system stores the videos of the games.
- Copy Videos ?: check this box if you want the Videos to be copied.
Click on the Export button to start processing
Configuration example for ArkOS
to use the same folder structure when scraping roms on the device or with ARRM:
system folders can be found in partition: EASYROMS
roms will be transferred to:
/%system%
media will be transferred to:
/%system%/gamelist.xml
/%systems%/images
/%systems%/videos
if you want to have boxart as image, set it this way
if you want to have mix as image, set it this way

Configuration example for MuOS
to use the same folder structure when scraping roms on the device or with ARRM:
system folders can be found in: /ROMS/
media folders can be found in: /MUOS/info/catalogue
roms will be transferred to:
/ROMS/%system%
media will be transferred to:
/MUOS/info/catalogue/%systems%/box ←- boxart
/MUOS/info/catalogue/%systems%/preview ←-screenshot
/MUOS/info/catalogue/%systems%/text ←- description of the game, extracted from gamelist.xml in ARRM
System Folders in MuOS
It is not mandatory to use the names below, because when you use e.g. OnionOS folder names you can set the directory to a specific emulator when starting a game for the first time. To make life easier and using the names below, the most emulators are set correctly.

Configuration example for OnionOS
to use the same folder structure when scraping roms on the device or with ARRM: (scraping on the device: choose a system, select a game, press Y button and go down to Scraper, enter your screenscraper Login/Password, scraping done.)
system folders can be found in partition: /Roms
roms will be transferred to:
/Roms/%system%
media will be transferred to:

Configuration example for ROCKNIX
to use the same folder structure when scraping roms on the device or with ARRM:
- If your device has just a single SD card slot the Export to Others function to SD card is not possible since the file system of ROCKNIX is in ext4 (Linux). Export roms and media to a folder on your PC and then manual transfer via WinSCP or FileZilla could be an option. Otherwise you will find some help here: https://rocknix.org/play/add-games/
system folders can be found in partition: /storage/roms
- If your device has two SD card slots you can directly export roms and media to your second SD card. HowTo: Format a SD card in FAT32 or exFAT and insert the SD card into slot 2 of your device. Turn your device on. When ROCKNIX completes its boot process, the roms directory will automatically be created on the second SD card. Now you can turn off your device, remove your SD card from slot 2 and open it on your PC.
system folders can be found in /roms
media will be transferred to:
/roms/%system%
media will be transferred to:
/roms/%system%/gamelist.xml
/roms/%system%/images
/roms/%system%/videos
