plight Wrote:I do not know if this is a frodo RC3 or RCB error, but when I launch an emulator while xbmc is in full screen mode, the emulator is impossible to shut down and restarts itself, even if I kill it via task manager. I also here a constant, reptitive ticking in the background from xbmc, which i assume is it trying to start the emulator over and over again. This never stops unless I kill the xbmc process. In window mode, emulators launch and exit correctly.

NoHesitation Wrote:I have installed Mednafen for emulation, and it works fine when launched from the terminal. When I try to launch it from RCB however, my screen goes dark, my TV says there is no signal, and no amount of keypresses will bring it back, I have to hard reset the box. I have enabled logging, but I am not seeing anything that makes me wonder. I have also tried launching through a script that kills xbmc prior to launching the emulator, but I get the same results.

i uploaded roms remotely from my osx box, and it created a bunch of files that got mistaken for roms, confusing the hell out of me and the rom collection browser.

That would be fine if it then turned back to 1080p in XBMC. But it doesn't. The settings in XBMC changes to 720p.
Anyone notice this?

I did try and pin the blame on xbmc launcher for that but i have it set to prevent focus when that file is executed.

Also Mame opens fine with xbmc closed. Version .0144

Should the 20 GC roms be in separate folders named after each rom?

I have a folder for Gamecube roms. I have like 20 and they're all 7zipped.
I extracted one,...and when the scan started,..it found everything mentioned above, plus the extracted GC rom.

So I added a few more roms to the other folders,..and unzipped the other 19 GC roms.
Started up XBMC, the scan proceeded to find all the new roms,..except the 19 GC roms.

14:43:02 T:3448 NOTICE: RCB_INFO: walkDownPath romPath: --exec=ISO "e:\games\ROMS\Nintendo Gamecube\*.iso"

Come to think of it,...on first scan I didn't have the "--exec=ISO" there since I didn't know it needed it in the parameter list.
I could remove the --exec=ISO from the config file and scan again,..then if it works, add the --exec=ISO back in.

All the other platforms show a romPath of just the directory.

I'm sure this will solve the problem of getting these into the database,...but what if I add new GC games?

GortWillSaveUs Wrote:This is now resolved. Apparenty I had a real tough time with the params,..and this was my bad. I put the param in the rompath of the config.xml

I must have looked right past that 10 times. Thanks for your help though.

Sorry, I don't have Full HD here, so I never noticed this issue. I also don't know how to set XBMC back to 1080p. If this is a common issue I could try to find out if this is possible.

So, what is your current issue? If I followed your explanation correctly you managed to import all games again and now you still can't launch the games? Please show me a log file after you tried to launch the game.

You can do it as you like. But the easier way is to keep all roms in 1 folder (as you already tried). You could show me a log after you tried to import the games. Maybe I can see why the games are not imported.
