Remember to modify it to be consistent with the new .bin/.iso file name.

Rename with DAT from version 1.8.9.4 beta 4: Allows, based on their CRC32/MD5, to search for the correct name in the Datfiles . Useful for scraping correctly when the ROM file names are not correct. You can apply the 'Clean Name', 'Add Disk' and 'Add Country' checkboxes on the processed ROMs . A CSV file is generated (rename_with_dat.txt) at the end of the operation which indicates from which Datfiles they come. See Wiki: Rename game titles with the help of Datfiles and Rename Arcade game titles

Rename with CSV file (button): Allows you to change the name of a game using a csv file located in %appdata%\Nexouille soft\arrm\database\custom_games_names.csv or %appdata%\Nexouille soft\arrm\database\custom_games_names_%system%.csv

These wheels are created in the ' theme-builder ' directory See wiki: Simple Wheel Generator

Retrieve music: If no music file exists, allows you to extract the audio track in .mp3 from the video file, which will be stored in the music folder defined in the 'Folder' tab. If ' GamesDB Music' is checked and no music file exists, ARRM tries to retrieve the music from the GamesDatabase site . A <music> tag will be created in the gamelist (usable with my game JVB_Quizz : http://jujuvincebros.fr/telechargements2/category/13-games )

Add flags to Mix (button): Allows you to add flags to the image without having to rescrape. The selected template must be the one originally used on the existing image and must have the <region1> and <region2> tags that indicate the position of the flag. Note: the <region> true</region> tag is not necessary . See wiki Add country flags to your Mix image

Video+Overlay (button): Added a ' Video+Overlay ' button to create Video+Overlays (like Screenscraper 's birthday videos ) based on ARRM templates . They have the suffix - mixvideo .

Video+Overlay ' feature requires the media to be present in the database ( boxart , cartouche, wheel , video ) because it will recompose a mix (without screenshot ) with the media already present, which it will superimpose on the video by applying a template . Therefore, the '4 images' mode of ARRM must have been activated. Warning: incompatible with templates offering perspective screenshots . You can define a directory dedicated to these videos . It is also possible to put them in the video tag . Specific compression parameters for these video+overlays are available in the 'Tools' tab.

A template_association_video.txt file allows you to associate templates with systems when creating ' video+overlay '. By default the new template 'mix_video1' is associated with all systems. A file ' template_association_video.NEXT_PIXEL ' is included containing the associations for the templates in the NEXT_PIXEL theme. Rename it to 'template_association_video.txt' if you wish to use it. A folder reserved for templates videos has been created, it is located in the directory: '%appdata%\Nexouille soft\ arrm\ressources\templates_video \'
You can retrieve the usual templates located in '%appdata%\Nexouille soft\arrm\ressources\templates\', copy them into this directory (' %appdata%\Nexouille soft\arrm\ressources\templates_video\') and modify them to suit your needs.
When using the ' Video+Overlay ' button ARRM checks for the existence of the template_association_video.txt file and applies the template video file associated with the current system ( auto_template enabled). If the template_association_video.txt file does not exist, ARRM will apply the usual templates ( template_association.txt)\ \
