I just can't figure out how to get the saved states to load. Specifically, what I need to know is the savestate params for setup in RCB. Can anyone provide these for me or at least point me in the right direction to find them? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Just curious, do you use a controller to play your games? How do you exit the emualator? If you use something like Xpadder you could make one of your controller buttons a hotkey to load a savestate, and in xpadder maybe put a certain amount of time to hold the button till it does the function to load the state, so you don't accidentally hit the button. You could also make another button the save state.

Got a link to a good Xpadder tutorial? Also, on another note, I was going to grab me one of those wireless Xbox controllers for the PC online. Would I have any problems usin g this to play the games on the emulators? Thanks!

It seems like if the game in question has the same title, but is made by multiple companies, it will pick the first ROM and not load the rest. For example, Tetris was made by a number of companies (Elorg, Tengen, Bulletproof, etc), but the only one that gets loaded into the ROM listing is Tetris by Bulletproof (because in alphabetical order, Bulletproof comes first).

Has anybody had similar issues? If so, what's the work around? I have complete ROM sets and I would like to be able to browse through them with xbmc and this add-on, if possible

Only workaround that I know of is to add all the different versions of the games into one zip or 7z file and let RCB scrape this. RCB will then ask you which game to load when you want to launch it. But ofc it will only scrape information for the first game in the list.
