Move Roms to another folder while keeping scrapes info and images

ARRM allows Roms to be moved to a subfolder on the same system or to another system's root folder while retaining scraps information and associated images. (merge data with the destination system's gamelist.xml, and update the source system's gamelist.xml)

Here's how:

  • If the destination folder is not at the root of a system (for example a sub-folder) the destination gamelist.xml will not be updated; image files will be moved.
  • If the destination folder is a subfolder of the source folder, the gamelist.xml will be updated.


The file name and directory name must be less than 260 characters, otherwise an error occurs when moving.

However, you can remove this limitation from windows by modifying the registry.
