Hi,

And what configuration to run a game please?

What emulator do I need for Namco 2x6?

And what configuration to run a game please?

While Namco 2x6 is supported as a system by Arcadeflow, I've never emulated that, I think there's some ps2 emulator that can support the system but I'm not 100% sure. You can try asking in the emulator section or on the Attract Mode discord server...

Thank you for your reply.
I asked the question in the emulator section.
Can't wait for the next version of ArcadeFlow.
I love this theme.

Yes. It’s stuck. dokumentni sistemi Scraping metadata for a particular rom works. https://www.rcl-group.com/erp-sistem/

Hmm not good, can you share your pref_layoutoptions file from Arcadeflow directory? You can send it to my email  tu paolo.zago@gmail.com or come to AF discord server where it's easier do follow the debug discussion... I'll do more tests tonight by the way.

Good luck with your tests!

I'm not sure if it's 100% related to your issue, but there's been some other scraping stuck feedback so you can check in branch 173_wip where a workaround is in place to avoid it. Let me know if it gets better...

Hi,

Will look into it ASAP, is the issue only when you are in a "collection" layout, or even in normal layouts?

EDIT: Ok, it seems it's a bug that dates back to 16.0 :O I'll check the code.

Hi,

I've put together a fix, I completely messed the multifilter Tags management in 16.0 and even generic multifilter had issues, but if you can try the branch "174_wip" and let me know if it fixes the issue.

[alucard]

Hi zpaolo11x,
I did a test with the new version

Code: [Select]

display Master System#CONSOLE
layout               Arcadeflow_174_wip
romlist              Master System
in_cycle             yes
in_menu              yes
global_filter
rule                 Name not_contains \[BIOS\]|\(Beta|\(Unl\)|\(Program\)
filter               All
filter               Tag-A-Filter
filter               Tag-B-Filter

Filters are declared empty because tags created with AF GUI are not visible from AM.
That's okay, because regular AM tags can give problems in cross system collection 

Switching filter from GUI, AF activates the correct persistent Multi Filter

pref_mf_Master System#CONSOLE_Tag-A-Filter.txt
or
pref_mf_Master System#CONSOLE_Tag-B-Filter.txt

The unwanted game launch in Multi Filter is also gone!

Many thanks zpaolo11x for your priceless work

Wondering where is the exactly actual scraping folder to store all files of game / romlist media when I executed scraping by "[utility menu] --> [layout options] --> [scrape & metadata] --> [scrape selected game] "?
I can't look for any files in default AM scrape folders like AM\scraper\pcsx2\snap\ but it interestingly actually shown up in the Arcadeflow main screen after scraping. 
Thank you

After crosschecking the cfg file of each emulator, i found out the scraping files of media all in $HOME/emulator... which means C:\Users\xxxx\ in Windows perspective. I thought I got it wrong for the folder of AM. Solved!
