Arcade Manager v7.1

This is a rom management tool, specifically designed for use with Retropie & Recalbox, but it works with anything.

• User-friendly, easy to use interface
• Wizard with pre-built lists of games
• Download and install an overlays pack (Retropie or Recalbox)
• Manage rom files: copy or cleanup a selection of roms
• Manage games lists: download pre-built files, merge and split files, convert DAT or INI files, and more
• Included help

What's new in this version

• FIX: fixes a bug in the wizard

It helps you to manage and filter your arcade rom collection (MAME/FBNeo) by removing unwanted, bad, and unplayable games.

It's also useful if you feel a bit lost among the several thousand games that full MAME romsets provides, and only want the very best.

What's new in this version

• NEW: a wizard to let you copy great games in a few clicks
• NEW: translation! Only in french for now (let me know if you can help)
• FIX #50 : csv with quotes in header didn't work
• FIX #54 : under certain condition the "browse" buttons behavior could lead to strange things

New feature

Better BIOS files handling:

• Does not delete BIOS files during cleanup (fixes issue #5 )
• Copies BIOS files during file copy, even if they're not listed in your CSV file

Bugs fixed

• Stops telling there's a new version erroneously (issue #46 )
• Fixes a 404 error that could happen during overlay download under very specific conditions (issue #48)

Migration

This is a full rewrite in .Net. It should change nothing for you (except probably a few bugs during the rewrite), but it'll be much easier for me to work on.

What's Changed

• Fixes issue #24 - Adds support for 7z rom files
• Fixes issue #29 - DAT conversion fails when there is a DTD
• Adds MAME2003+ and FBNeo 1002 lists

Full Changelog: https://github.com/cosmo0/arcade-manager/compare/v6.1...v6.2

After more than a year, I finally took the time to finalize this version.

This is mainly a technical upgrade: the code has been migrated from NodeJS to .Net. It shouldn't change much for you (maybe a few conversion bugs), but it'll be much easier for me to work on in the future.

It also fixes a bunch of bugs.
