• Flags (checkbox): You can choose the language of the interface by checking the flag of the country concerned
• Systems folder (textbox): Indicate here the access path to the roms directory (network or local).

This can be a network directory (if you access your frontend by network):

• For Batocera: \\batocera\share\roms
• For Recalbox: \\recalbox\share\roms
• For Retropie: \\retropie\roms

or a local disk (if you access the memory card/disk of your frontend connected to your PC):

• E:\recalbox\share\roms (if you access the memory card/disk of your recalbox connected to your PC

• Bezels folder (textbox): Indicate here the access path to the root directory which will contain the overlays / Bezels. :
  • For Batocera: \\batocera\share
  • For Recalbox: \\recalbox\share
  • For Retropie: \\retropie

For Batocera, Recalbox and Retropie you can also indicate another temporary directory which will receive the generated overlays, but in this case you will have to copy/paste this content on your Box.

• With Recalbox the generated directories will be 'overlays' and 'system' to be copied in '\\recalbox\share'
• With Batocera the generated directory will be 'decorations' to be copied in '\\batocera\share'
• With Retropie the generated directory will be 'configs' to be copied in '/opt/retropie' on your Retropie

Remember to click on the 'V' buttons to validate the directories. The icons open the directory in your file explorer.

• Use ARRM gamelist (checkbox): when a gamelist.xml is created by ARRM, ARRM creates a gamelist_ARRM.xml copy. When choosing a system, if the use ARRM gamelist checkbox is checked, ARRM will use this gamelist_ARRM.xml file and not the gamelist.xml file which may have been modified by the frontend. This makes it possible not to lose ARRM custom tags that may have been deleted by the Frontend. This is useful for someone going back to gamelists to perform e.g. “image recomposition” or other manipulations that ARRM offers. Otherwise, it shouldn't be a problem.

Frontend choice

• Recalbox (checkbox): Check if you use Recalbox. Used for some specifics of this system

• Retropie (checkbox): Check if you use Retropie. Used for certain specificities of this system (stop/start script, management of the es_systems.cfg file, management of overlays, etc.)

• Batocera (checkbox): Check if you use Batocera. Used for certain specificities of this system (management of certain systems, core list, stop/start script, management of overlays, etc.)

• Activate the cache (checkbox): Allows the textual information retrieved during a Scrape to be stored in a cache. Can be used for example following a crash during a scrape or an absence of gamelist.

• Activation of 4 images mode (checkbox): By checking this box you get the 4 images (screenshot, boxart, cartridge and wheel). During a scrape, these 4 images are recovered separately, so you can use the 'recompose image' button to recreate, at your leisure, your mixes or other formats without having to re-scrape. The image retained in the gamelist.xml will be the one chosen in the 'Images Options' configuration tab. The counterpart being the slightly larger space occupied by the images and a slightly longer scrape time.

In this tab, you can configure the paths for each of the media (image, screenshot, boxart, wheel, cartridge, titleshot, map, fanart, manual, video)

it can be of the form:

• downloaded_images
• media/pictures
• media/screenshot
• media/cartridge
• manuals
• media/manual
• media/videos
• etc…

Since version 1923 Beta 5 it is possible to configure the suffixes that you want to put at the end of recovered media files. Example :
