Arcade Manager v7.1

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

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.

Features

  • Multi-platform, works on Windows, MacOS and Linux
  • 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
