Retrieve Family and Game Figurines on Screenscraper

Since version ARRM 2.0.3.6 beta 5, it is possible to retrieve media figurines associated with game families or titles.

These figurines are the work of a collective initiated by Snapouille, which offers figurines that can be used with the Animatics-DX theme and the DX_Theme_Figurines_Add-On plugin, which he created. This theme is compatible with Batocera and Retrobat

Snapouille and her team have created a multitude of figurines to illustrate game families and certain games. At their request, these figurines have been made available on Screenscraper by MarbleMad.

You can contribute to this database.

Setting the figurine storage directory on ARRM

On the next screen, in the Settings tab, then Folders, scroll to the bottom of the list.

In the 'Figurines' Folder' text box, specify the folder in which you want to save your figurines.

By default, ARRM creates the directory %appdata%\Nexouille soft\arrm\ressources\figurines

Two subfolders will be created in this directory:

family: which will contain the figurines from the game's family
gameName: which will contain the game figurines

If you are using the Animatics-DX theme with the DX_Theme_Figurines_Add-On addon, modify the 'figurines' folder as follows:

for RETROBAT: \retrobat\emulationstation\.emulationstation\themes\zz-DX_Add-On\_inc\figurines
for BATOCERA: \userdata\themes\zz-DX_Add-On\_inc\figurines

You can specify any directory, then move the retrieved figurines to the folder you want. want
