Thanks for pointing me to the right direction. I have tried to change it in different ways but I am still getting the same error. If I try to browse this path in Windows XP it works fine (\\192.168.1.66\c64\C64N\*.zip). I have checked the permissions as well. Any other clues?

Did you check for case sensitivity? On Linux c64 is different to C64.
- beefystripper - 2012-01-20
I've tried that as well now but without success. I will do some more testing later on today.

Sorry about the question... Did not know it was not allowed..
As far as the roms launching... yes but the down side is that I have to go into each file name and delete the "SNES" and #... I have a program that automatically will remove the # but not sure how to batch process all names removing the SNES in the file name.
Any thoughts?
Also, how do you get it to launch in full screen? Or will it not do that because they are snes roms?
Thanks for your help!

I have a program that automatically will remove the # but not sure how to batch process all names removing the SNES in the file name.I can imagine that there may be a problem with the #, but no way there should be issues with SNES in file names. Maybe you forgot to use "" in your emu params? It must be "%ROM%" (with surrounding "").
cleaner450 Wrote:Also, how do you get it to launch in full screen? Or will it not do that because they are snes roms?It depends on your emulator. Usually you can pass arguments to the emu for launching in fullscreen mode.

thanks didn't get down that far on that page 1st time i viewed it
is there a way to add the jx720skin to RCB
to help gain some mem and how do i reduce the Artwork size
- debennett2 - 2012-01-22
ok, I'm a n00b to the Rom Collection browser and, sorta, XBMC.....I am finally making XBMC my priority after being everywhere else for years. It is now obvious tat XBMC is the way to go.....
1) So I am trying to setup FCEUX for my NES roms using this plugin. I now have a list of roms and all their info and all looksvery nice (also did hte same for dolphin and wii games thus far). It appears to launch a window if I pick one of the games, but then that window immediately closes (not going to background...just going away). Any idea why this is happening? Using Confluence Eden Beta 1. Any way to troubleshoot?
2) Getting out of the screen (Rom Collection) uses a different comand than expected. Instead of using what equates to the backspace key on the keyboard, t uses the esc key equivalent. How can i change that?
Thanks so much for tolerating my n00b questions!

Reducing artwork size could be done with a lot of programs. E.g. IrfanView has some good batch features afaik. But I never did this myself.

You could try to invoke this command yourself and see if this works.

But other users complained about this as well so I will fix this in the next release.

Manually import - japes - 2012-01-23
I am having issues with a game not importing. It gets scraped and the .nfo file and all thumbnails get downloaded but it doesn't show up on the game list.
Just in case it is important...
Super Mario Bro. 2 (the one with 4 playable characters Mario, Luigi, Toad, and the Princess) is not on the game list but the other Super Mario Bro. 2 (the "lost levels" version) shows up but not the other...they are in the same folder with slightly different file names.
They both get scraped correctly but only the one shows up.
Thanks
Only error in the scraper txt files is...scrapeResult_missingArtwork.txt
Code:
"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Super Mario Bros. 2 (filename: Super Mario Bros. 2) (cartridge)"however all artwork appears to be there

Not sure what happened. If you give me the exact file names and the scrapers you used, I could try to reproduce this and see if it is a bug.
- debennett2 - 2012-01-23
That did the trick. Thanks!
1) How is everyone cleverly figuring out how to exit the actual emulator? I thought about somehow using a remote button to close the active foreground program...but not even sure how to work that as alt-f4 doesn't seem to work. Anyone have anything clever?
2) anyone have some great wireless retro setups? I'd love to see some of the ways people make this work intuitively and in a fun way in their living rooms!
Thanks again!
