ARRM runs on Windows (7, 8, 10 and 11). It uses the .NET Framework 4.8 and Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015. It has been successfully tested on .NET 4.7 and .NET 4.8. It is not compatible with Linux (via Mono or Wine as of May 2019), nor Mac OS.

Before any installation of a new version (except Beta and versions without installing), you must uninstall the previous version. If you have created new templates with a name different from the templates delivered by ARRM, they will be kept during uninstallation.

If you have modified/customized the configuration/parameter files located in '%appadata/nexouille soft/arrm/database' , consider making a backup via the 'Backup configuration files' button in the 'Tools' tab

To install the application, simply run setup.exe (as administrator depending on your configuration) and follow the instructions.

For the Beta, you must have the final version and replace the files with those provided in the zip.

For versions without installer, simply replace the files with those provided in the zip archive. It is not necessary to uninstall the previous version.

The first time you install ARRM, it is best to use the version with installer.

If you are using Windows Defender, you must allow the ARRM app in Windows Defender. Follow this link: Allow ARRM.EXE application in Windows Defender

Available from version 1.9.1.1 beta 9

Regularly files are updated. If you want to enjoy it without having to wait for a final version, you can go through the Update tab

See dedicated section : Update

You want to save your ARRM configuration to restore it on another machine or following a bad manipulation? This is possible via the Tools tab. See wiki : Backup and restore ARRM configuration

To uninstall ARRM, go through the windows application manager. To erase all traces of the application (only necessary if you no longer want to use ARRM):

• Delete the registry key: Hkey_current_user\software\Nex_Arrm
• Delete the directory: %appdata%\nexouille soft\arrm

To avoid any display problem (unreadable character, badly sized dialog box, buttons that are not displayed completely), I invite you to apply the modifications present in the section

For one reason or another, you sometimes work on different Roms and Bezels directories than the original ones. To avoid having to search ARRM for paths, you can create a command file that will set the registry keys with the correct values and launch ARRM. You can thus create a file with the original paths and a file with your specific paths. It is up to you to launch the correct command file.

Example with an ARRM_launcher_original.cmd file

Rem change paths in registry before launching ARRM.
Rem
Rem path_roms is path to roms folder (eg: \\batocera\share\roms)
Rem path_root_recalbox is path for bezels (eg: \\batocera\share)
Rem
reg add HKCU\Software\Nex_Arrm /t REG_SZ /v "recalbox_root_path" /d "\\batocera\share" /f
reg add HKCU\Software\Nex_Arrm /t REG_SZ /v "path_roms" /d "\\batocera\share\roms" /f
Rem
Rem Starting ARRM
Rem
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Nexouille Soft\Arrm\Arrm.exe"

Example with an ARRM_launcher_specific.cmd file

Rem change paths in registry before launching ARRM.
Rem
Rem path_roms is path to roms folder (eg: \\recalbox\share\roms)
Rem path_root_recalbox is path for bezels (eg: \\recalbox\share)
Rem
reg add HKCU\Software\Nex_Arrm /t REG_SZ /v "recalbox_root_path" /d "z:\roms" /f
reg add HKCU\Software\Nex_Arrm /t REG_SZ /v "path_roms" /d "z:\" /f
Rem
Rem Starting ARRM
Rem
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Nexouille Soft\Arrm\Arrm.exe"

In the same way you can modify other registry keys.

As of version 1.9.2.8 beta 2, you can also use Profiles to manage specific configurations. See: Manage scrape profiles
