Update your configuration files with new systems

Available since ARRM 2.0.1.6

In order to scrape your systems correctly, it is imperative that ARRM can make the association between your system names and the platforms (systems) offered on the scrape engines and know the file extensions recognized by these systems.

See the wiki: Check if your systems are declared in the scrape engine parameter files

Frontends regularly offer new systems, it is then imperative to update these different configuration files which are as follows:

%appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\database\systemes_extensions.txt
%appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\database\systemes_screenscraper.txt
%appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\database\systemes_hfsdb.txt
%appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\database\systemes_launchbox.txt
%appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\database\systemes_mobygames.txt
%appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\database\systemes_igdb.txt
%appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\database\systemes_gametdb.txt
%appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\database\systemes_tgdb.txt
%appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\database\systemes_gamesdatabase.txt
%appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\database\systemes_bezels_project.txt
%appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\database\systemes_bezels_projectSA.txt
%appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\database\attractmode_association.txt
%appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\database\systems_sorting.txt

ARRM offers a tool that allows you to add new systems to your configuration files without overwriting your own settings.

This tool is available in the Tools tab via the Update system names button.

If ARRM detects that a file present in %appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\database\original_config_files is newer than your current file, the update procedure will be carried out when launching the application.

ARRM will compare your systems with those declared in the files present in the %appdata%\Nexouille Soft\arrm\database\original_config_files folder and update your files.

Newly added systems will appear at the end of your configuration file in this form.

Example with the file systemes_screenscraper.txt
