Solo mode on Mac OS X - waal - 2013-07-26

Hi,

I have set my Amiga CD32 collection with RCB 2.06, Frodo 12.2 and FS-UAE on my mac and it works great, thanks for the cool addon.

The only problem I have is that the solo mode isn't working. The game doesn't launch at all when I enable <useEmuSolo> to "True". Otherwise, the launch sequence is good but I'd like to close XBMC while the emu is running.

I've exported a log here and my config.xml is here.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I'm a bit lost after 650 pages.; there are too many bits and pieces scattered everywhere.

Can anyone give me a summary with a few links of what's up lately when using this with rPi? Are these downloadable extensions yet? 50 pages ago hinted about it.

Can this be used with openelec xbmc? If not, what do you recommend for raspberry pi?

Anyone have a quick and dirty guide, or can post one, of how to get this working on openelec xbmc? If impossible on openelec, what do you suggest? Anyone have precompiled goodies?

Thanks mates!

Hey guys,

i have a question about RCB in combination with Mednafen on my Mac Mini
Finally i was able to setup Mednafen to work correctly with RCB, but with one small problem (i hope).
Whenever i quit a game using the ESC key, the game quits, but XBMC keeps minimized, and won't start a new game untill i manually quit Mednafen from the dock (Right click, quit Mednafen).
After it quits XBMC goes back to full screen and i can start another game from my collection.

Is there a way to have Mednafen quit after quitting a game?

I found out when enabling the option "Use Popen to launch emulator" i can actually start another game while XBMC stays in full screen, but this way every time it starts a new Mednafen app, so i have to quit all of the manually afterwards.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

just installed RCB v2.07 on win32 build of Retroplayer 7 but it now appears as a 'game plugin' rather than a 'program plugin'

Does anyone know how to add this to the main menu? game plugin is not an option under 'item type' in the skin customiser

Im using this to write a bat file to load saturn emulator, im using yabause because ssf and satourne dont seem to work correctly for me. I can get the program to load, i just cannot get the game to auto load. any help would be appreciated. On a side note, I opened deamon lite while loading the program, it isnt showing that its loading an image when the program is loaded. It mounts, because the auto load message comes up when the program is loaded, it just isnt showing that it is loaded in the deamon lite application. i dont understand

Here is the batch file I use for ssf, bit different to yours.

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - toki5 - 2013-07-28

ok, Ive tried your version as well. Same thing basically. Im on windows 7 64 bit also. emulator is in c drive, emulators and ROMS, yabause 0.9.12. deamon lite is same location as everyone else that ive seen. When i press fror the program to start, it mounts the image, autoplay text comes up, then it basically rolls through command line, then shuts off, doesnt do anything. pleae help? Undecided


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - teeedubb - 2013-07-28

Is ssf pointing to the correct disc drive? From memory there's an option for that.


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - toki5 - 2013-07-29

i tried ssf, i keep getting some weird direct3d flip error after one use. im not sure why i get it, so i have been trying other programs

Frodo 12.2

Using RomCollectiionBrowser 2.0.7 or latest testing one (not sure of the version numbers) I get the following error after importing ROMs and selecting a game/rom to play. I also can not find the solo setup and it is launching in Windowed mode. I did also install the program needed for Eden to work properly thinking maybe I needed that also.

ERROR: EXCEPTION: Unimplemented method: executehttpapi::executehttpapi(...)

The http api was removed in Frodo I believe. But this is my first go at it, do I need to setup a snes type of emulator or multiple ones?

Tyring to get this working for my grandson, who is driving me nuts.

for my emulators and roms it is set as C: emulators and ROMS\SSF folder, then i have saturn roms as saturn rom collection. how should i have it set? i can get the program to load, I cannot get it to auto load the games though. deamon lite is just like everyone elses. on an update note, i check deamon lite and it shows as game mounted, yet shows as drive empty in ssf. I also changed CD to G: for deamon tools. It mounts, it loads program. It comes up as drive empty in proggram, yet i just get a command line roll through, program wont launch unless i do something along these lines.

Is SSF being pointed to the virtual drive? You can set it in the SSF options.


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - toki5 - 2013-07-29

i fixed it, it took a second. thank you for your help. i had to point everything correctly, then, i did not have it pointed to virtual drive. didnt notice it had changed. i had been getting a direct3d error, which i am still getting. i have to remove the ini file, then reset evrything, so if anyone knows what that could be. that would be of some help also. otherwise thanks for your help on getting this loaded correctly


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - teeedubb - 2013-07-29

Maybe download the direct x on the ssf-tribute page and install that.

And also, I don't use the ping timeout in my bat file and ssf loads fine..
