Openelec and RCB/Advanced Launcher Problem - mezo - 2014-09-22

Hey,
i successfully got retroarch to work and it runs rly well. now i started to setup rcb and advanced launcher, but on both my screen "freeze" on rom launch. if im starting the rom with the applaunch.sh from rcb, the game starts perfect. as soon as i start any rom out of advanced launcher or rcb my screen freezen (even if xbmc got killed). i searched the whole day for a solution, but i cant find a working solution Sad

RE: Openelec and RCB/Advanced Launcher Problem - stuCONNERS - 2014-09-24

tried to follow the guide, im stuck at trying to load the rom i put the following command "retroarch.sh pocketsnes /storage/.xbmc/roms/snes/Super Mario World.smc"

and i get the following:

Usage: retroarch.sh core /path/to/romfile
Example: retroarch.sh snes9x /storage/mario.sfc

Available cores:
libretro-fceumm.so
libretro-gambatte.so

i just tried it here and the command works fine.

RE: Openelec and RCB/Advanced Launcher Problem - stuCONNERS - 2014-09-24

found out that i cant have gaps in names for some reason.

I`ve managed to load the rom, and kill it, and checked that all files are there, I`ve managed to move the rom into retroarch/roms

When I install RCB from the repository, the files that need replacing arent there to replace. Or do i need to put them there manually?

I`ve found it here

/storage/.xbmc/addons/script.games.rom.collection.browser/resources/scriptfiles

Is this the right location?

RE: Openelec and RCB/Advanced Launcher Problem - mezo - 2014-09-24

the two files u need to put/replace are in "/storage/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.games.rom.collection.browser/scriptfiles/" if applaunch.sh not exist, just put the one i posted in there.

RE: Openelec and RCB/Advanced Launcher Problem - stuCONNERS - 2014-09-26

I cant get any roms to boot from advanced launcher. Can you put up a working example of how to setup advanced launcher. None of my roms will boot from there, but load ok from command line.

please make sure u use latest version of the addon, because this is an example for latest version!
in this example i use "<rompath>/storage/emulators/rom/nes/</rompath>", because i linked "/storage/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/emulator.tools.retroarch/rom/" to "/storage/emulators/rom/"

also check "journalctl -f" if u launch the rom from the advanced launcher and give me the output if it doesnt work now.

RE: Openelec and RCB/Advanced Launcher Problem - stuCONNERS - 2014-09-27

Got it working, how do you exit from the rom back to xbmc?
