The online scrapers work great, but I have a few ROM's where it has downloaded boxfront's that I would like to change. I have tried to "rescrape selected game" and choose "local artwork", "local nfo" and any combination of the two. I have even replaced the boxfront image in question (I'm on a Mac, and for me they reside in /users/admin/dropbox/rom/n64/artwork/boxfront/rom_name.jpg). I tried going into the nfo file and changed the URL for the incorrect image to the URL for the image I want. I left the local path alone as I replaced the image locally with the correct. However, it still shows the old image. I've deleted and re-added the game, even changed the scrapers to local, but no dice. Any ideas?

You have to rescrape the game and what I did was used best guess for the scrape. Try that and see what happens.

Skipp2k Wrote:So this is for malte, is it possible for you to add a Daphne/Laserdisc game platform to RCB which does the same like the Windows platform and also maybe a PC Games platform so that I don't have to use the Windows one.

malte Wrote:The problem is that XBMC is caching the artwork. You can wait some days until XBMC refreshes its cache or manually cleanup the thumbs db or cache directories in the XBMC userdata folder. I did not really get into this topic but I guess it is the same for other artwork too (movies, tv shows, ...). So maybe you can search other areas of this forum for a better solution.

I figured it was a caching issue. In that case, if I want to manually cleanup, do I just chose the "clean up database" option from the RCB menu? Thanks!

Why does Windows not ask for a emulator but Windows 3.1 and Dos does? Anyway can I change the code so that I can create my own Game platforms?

Anyway thanks for a great plugin malte, apart from Daphne all my other emulators work great.

I'm trying to get it to work with advmame. The reasoning is that mame with gl is too slow and xmame on seems to have only oss sound support.

The problem is that advmame expects only the name of the game without a zip extension or a path..

advmame asteroids ==>> good

advmame /home/foobar/asteroids.zip ==>> bad

Any ideas...

Gary
thanks

cheesycrouton Wrote:For example, I would like "The Legend of Zelda" to be sorted like, "Legend of Zelda, The" in the "L" section, not the "T" section. I have this option set in XBMC, but it does not seem to take effect in RCB. Am I missing a setting somewhere? I'm using the Aeon MQ4 skin.

Haohmaru Wrote:I have managed to setup RCB the way I wanted with gens the Sega emulator. Everything is fine except that after exiting the game xbmc won't switch back to full-screen by itself.
How can I solve this? I'm on an Ubuntu minimal 12.10 installation with Xbmc 13 alpha 5 by the way.

You can only change this manually in config.xml. But you also have to reimport your games with the new path or you could edit the path name directly in the database if you know SQL.
