Quote:He wrote something that worked in one place. Maybe someone else will work on an applaunch.sh for os-x.

Quote:Did not know about that. If anyone comes along with a MAC/Linux compatible bash script I will be happy to include it.

this is a my version of applaunch.sh bash script compatible to MacOS X, but on Linux I can't test it.

Code:

# SOMETIMES xbmc starts too fast, and on some hardware if there is still a millisecond of sound being used, XBMC starts witout sound and some emulators say there is a problem with the sound hardware. If so, remove comment:

# Done? Restart XBMC

malte Wrote:Not really. Maybe I have to add some more debug logging around this to find out what happens. I remember that I had a similar problem one time but I did not manage to reproduce it. So you still have this issue on every start?

malte Wrote:Can you show me your complete config.xml? Did you see that fileTypeForMainViewGameInfo2 and fileTypeForGameInfoView2 are referenced on two different pages?

malte Wrote:Actually no scraping but I compiled a set of game descs with a working parser config: http://romcollectionbrowser.googlecode.com/files/gamedesc.zip (descriptions coming from RX project). The files are quite large so RCB will need some time to parse them. Check the wiki how to find your games inside the desc files: http://code.google.com/p/romcollectionbrowser/wiki/Preview#Add_game_description

TutAmongUs Wrote:I have a question. It mentions copying your ROMs. That is bad when several tens of GB of ROMs are involved. Can it not index your existing archive in place? Also, without digging through hundreds of posts, is there a start-up script for SDLMame?

Thanks, and I spotted it and installed it immediately before I ever saw this thread. :-)
