Now select windows from the Rom collection and change the Rom path to you newly created file (windows games) Make sure the Rom file mask is (*.exe) without the () once thats all done hit the save config button press C key one more time click import games. change the Rom collection to windows and click import games That worked for me i hope that helps RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - iceman600 - 2013-03-27 (2013-03-27, 07:13)seanbaker Wrote: seems to work for me.... heres what i did still not working for me.... now even my jnes emulator is doing the same... its not launching =( ill try to reinstall the RCB RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2013-03-27 huzz456 Wrote:I just use this to run origin and steam games. The new version closes xbmc down cleanly in solo mode which is great but doesn't restart xbmc once the game is closed. Anyway to fix the?. Many thanks!What does it do exactly? Do you get the CApplication error? If so, you could try to use the latest RCB version from the website and enable "Use VB script" option to launch your games in solo mode. Otherwise you should go more into detail about your issue. huzz456 Wrote:Also, when I enter the rom collection browser it seems to go to an empty list view for a second before displaying the view I've chosen which at the mo is info wall. It's a small problem but slightly annoying to the look and feel of xbmc. Any ideas?Hmm, I don't think so. XBMC changed the behaviour of loading lists since Eden. I could try to set the viewtype before loading the list but I have in mind that I already tried this and it did not work. Dondi Wrote:I got a ReDump ROM set that is .7z with a single .iso inside.

The Gamecube stuff is coming in at around 900MB - 1.3GB per ROM Should I just manually unzip each ROM (each .7z has a single .iso)?

Otherwise you should go more into detail about your issue. No i dont get the capplication error. The order of events is - xbmc closes, a command window opens and goes through some script then closes and the game launches. The only problem is that when i close the game xbmc doesnt start again. Its the same with both steam and origin games. Here's my log which i tried having vb script both on then off in. Where xbmc restarts is me doing it manually. http://pastebin.com/GpBVRMsr Many thanks for looking into it for me, i can see your a busy man!

Launch Games
Most important change in this release is the switch to xbmcvfs for most file operations. This should help with some basic issues like smb support and has some other benefits. There have been a lot of changes in the code related to game import. I tested as much as possible but be aware of little hickups that I might have overseen. I also provide a repo for RCB updates now. If you want to be up to date with RCB releases without monitoring this thread you can just grab and install the repo from here: link. I am new to this repo stuff but I hope everything works as expected. Note: with this release you still have to grab and install RCB Service 1.0.0 manually. Previous version: 2.0.3 RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - idoubleuin - 2013-03-28 Edit: NEVERMIND! updating to 2.0.5 and using the VBscripts fixed my issue. Thanks! I was wondering if someone could help me with an issue I'm having. I set up Rom Collection Browser with some native windows games from the Humble Bundle. I can launch the game fine and the games work completely. However, I need to use solo mode in order for there to be sound in the game (video doesn't play smoothly with Directsound and the computer never sleeps with Directsound enabled). When I exit from a game that uses solo mode I get a dialog box that says "ERROR: Unable to create application. Exiting." My only choice is to hit okay which kills XBMC. For reference, I'm on Windows 7 x64 SP1 and I'm running XBMC 12.1. I've also tried to fix this issue by updating to RCB 2.0.3 but it generates the same error. It seems that the autolaunch batch script can't start xbmc for some reason. Hopefully someone can help me. If you need more information, let me know what I can do to help! |
