RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - nakaroto24 - 2013-12-30

Hello people

I'm running RCB on windows. I have MAME running pretty good. But one thing is killing me. I used the offline scraping method and the descriptions look pretty good.
The problem is that the "boxfront" art is also my "fanart". The nfo files point to two different folders "boxfront" and "fanart". The "fanart" is being ignored. Only MAME is doing this.

Any help is appreciated.

Happy new year everybody! I am sorry that I can't help out atm but I am on a trip for some days. I hope I will be back in business soon.

Hi,

I tried to add my Windows games as shown in this link: https://code.google.com/p/romcollectionbrowser/wiki/HowToAddStandaloneGames

The first result was that when I opened the RCB it showed nothing but the menu field and the background. I couldn't use any filters also.
The C button still worked so I deleted the Windows Collection and after restarting the addon everything was Ok again.
I tried to add the Windows Games again and the result was that everything was gone. I couldn't start the addon anymore. After reinstalling and rebuilding my games database I tried to add the Windows games again and I can use filters but I cannot see any of my games. When I tell it to scrape the details it does nothing. What am I doing wrong?

I have seen the question asked, yet unanswered before and got the same problem.

How to get this working over nfs?
XBMC acceses nfs shares.
Romcollectionbrowser can browse to the share and see the folders.

I see the games in the folder getting scraped. 2 out of 3 fail (check xbmc.log) and the 3th (middle in the scraping order does not seem to fail but it does just aswel.)
The share and subfolders up and including the ART folder have rw permission .

Also somehow I get error that point all over the share, not only the rom folders but also outside those!

I'm using the latest version 2.0.11
also using the script.
I have added the shares as locations in xbmc.
I did notice that when having the nfs share, in the rom source field the source is scrolling seperated with a | . This is not happening anywhere else. (local source nor smb, even tho smb doesn't work neither.
As you can see at the log after i changed source from nfs to smb that i still get nfs entry's.
The log is also bloated with more entry's that don't make sense anymore. There seems to be some data sticking in a file that gets queried when I try to import just about anything.

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - paddyred9 - 2014-01-03

Hey guys,

When I was trying this out I just ran through the configuration wizard with incorrect settings thinking I could come back and fix it.
There seems to be no way to launch this configuration wizard again after the first time. It says in the add on info that there should be an option to re-launch this in the context menu but there's no options for that that I can see.

Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Komerad - 2014-01-03

In the browser press "c" or whatever opens context menu and chose : edit rom collection. Chose your faulty rom collection and correct it.

In the add-on options, turn off 'Do not import games without artwork'

Import games using 'local nfo' as first scraper, and 'none' for the 2nd and 3rd

This should get all the descriptions properly... Then do another import, using 'local nfo' then 'local artwork'

Also, turns out my NES collection is not very clean Tongue My Snes one is better though.

This worked (for now) thanks for pointing out.

And as I continue to torture myself this is my next problem :
When trying to load a rom it just pops back. Games don't start.

So nfs is a problem!

If it wasnt for the misery this is just a bad slapstick. I searched 2 days to get sound out of the games. I played for days now and suddenly the sound was gone again, no known reason.
Did not update or anything. Did a fresh install same way and now they don't even play. Getting this to work seems to be more of a lottery, one with moodswings.

EDIT : Sound working. Changed alsa with sdl in the retroarch.cfg. Good that it works this way today. It did not last week.

bug? - paltry - 2014-01-05

I have been able to import rom collections (in order: zsnes, windows, mame) with all my roms working.

One issue I noticed is that the zsnes savestates params will be automatically copied to any new collections. That is, these savestates params will also appear in the windows and mane collections.

Another issue is that after I imported the zsnes through online scrapers, I cannot edit (and create) the offline scraper for the purpose of updating those roms without online artworks. The "Edit Offline Scraper -> Add scraper" simply doesn't work.

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Komerad - 2014-01-06

I wrote a script to setup retroarch/libretro with rcb on xbmcbuntu.

What it does :
- Checks if you have retroarch installed if not it installs.
- Checks if you have the rbc addons if not it gets them (you still need to install)
- Ask you wich rom collections to use and create a config file.

What it does not do :
- It does NOT add roms to your collection.
- It's not flexible in defining rom sources. You enter a main rom folder and the substructure will be created automaticly. (you can always change this afterwards in the rcb gui)

What is the advantage over "the regular way"?
- It automaticly installs retroarch.
- It gets this nice rbc addons in place ready for install (might make installation automaticly too lateron)
- It just asks you what "emulators you want to use" and configures rbc for you (current choises : nes, snes, sms, genesis, ps1, will add more lateron)
- It automates a lot, makes things even more easy and last but not least : extremely fast Wink

For review :
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/qdsba7223sm8aam/retrohelper.sh

Suggestions welcome!

Todo :
- Auto install the scripts if possible (if that would not prevent the addons from updating through xbmc)
- Add more emulators
- Add option to install and setup game controllers (I already wrote a seperate script script for that but not sure if i keep it seperated or include in this one.)
- Add some "sound" fixes incase there is no sound over hdmi in retroarch
- Add some flexibility to defining sources.

EDIT : Found and fixed the error.

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - bungie240 - 2014-01-07

Hi folks, I'm new to RCB and having a couple of problem...I cannot seem to find solo mode in the settings, i'm running the latest stable vesion of RCB!

I'm not using roms but my PC games collection, I've managed to import the games with covers and that worked fine. The other problem is that when a game starts I get a cmd window the game opens up full screen but then xbmc pops up on the screen. Would like to just click on the game and play in full screen, when i exit the game i would like the system to default back into xbmc....any help appreciated.


Thanks

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - C-Fu - 2014-01-07

I think I found a bug. Not sure if it's just on my pc though.

I've been trying so hard to scrape my SNES roms and figuring out for the past hour or so as to why on Earth the scraped rom infos are sometimes ok and sometimes the whole roms' infos went missing, save for one or two roms.

But then sometimes it works, and all roms are fully scraped, all offline.

Then I realised, if I click on ROM COLLECTION BROWSER on XBMC with my mouse, the bug happens. But if I use keyboard to navigate and press Enter, all roms are fully scraped.

I'm using XBMC 12.3, RCB 2.0.10 on i7 + Radeon 6870 with a dual monitor setup, if it helps.

I've encountered some issues with the latest RCB (2.0.10), which I thought I would share. I was just trying to add some Mame Roms that are stored on my Network share. Well it turns out there are some things that need to be done to your system before this will work in RCB.

1. I first tried to run Mame64 (on a Windows 7 64bit system), but the graphics were messed up. Turns out I needed to download and install Microsoft DirectX software on my system first. After this Mame64 worked great.

2. In RCB, I went through setting up the Config file, and at the end, it gave me the standard, Your Config.xml sucks, try again. After about 2 days of trying to figure out what the problem is (Mame64 would launch and a small DOS box would show for a brief second, then I'm back in RCB). Turns out, RCB is sending a DOS code, that references the network share as SMB, which doesn't work from DOS. After reading forever on this issue, there are some Registry settings you can change in XP (never found the Win7 ones), that would fix this issue in DOS. But I found a solution that you need to add the Network Share to your system (Map a Network drive). Then add the Mame64.exe in the first part of the Config through the new Network Drive letter (in my case, I added the drive as the letter ZSmile, then when prompted for the ROMS location (and the Artwork files), I used the SMB drive information. Now, why you might ask did I not use the Z: drive for all of it, well, I did try, and got the Your Config.xml sucks error again. So but having the Mame64.exe setup via the Z: drive (Z:\Games\Mame), and the ROMS and Artwork setup via SMB share (\\Servername\Games\Mame). This fixed the first Mame issue in RCB.

3. The final issue was having Mame not launch the ROMS, and again return me back to RCB. To Fix this, I needed to edit the Config.xml with the (-inipath smb://Servername/Games/Mame %ROMS%). Now the ROMS would load into Mame using RCB.

4. Final problem, No sound from Mame64, when launched using RCB (works fine if launched using Mame64.exe outside of XBMC). Needed to turn on the RCB setting to kill XBMC, launch Mame64, then when you exit the game, XBMC is launched again, and it takes you back into the Games section of RCB. DONE, we now have a working Mame setup using RCB.

5. Only issue I have left is, trying to get my XBOX360 controller, to Exit Mame, so I can return back to XBMC. I have tried using the UI_Cancel feature in Mame (which should work), but I can't assign they keys permanently in Mame (I can set it up per game, but when I exit the game, the settings aren't saved in Mame). Still looking for a solution for this, but everything I've tried doesn't work. So any help on this would be wonderful (hint hint).

Hope this helps someone, and doesn't get lost in the nearly 400 page thread.

I'm using FCEUX emulator for NES. When a game launches it launches in full 16:9 size so the image is stretched. How can I launch a game so it launches in a full window BUT with the game only playing in 4:3

Nobody ? So everybody is playing these games stretched in 16:9 format?

I doubt everyone uses FCUEX, plus its not really a RCB problem. Read the FCUEX instructions to see if its possible to not stretch the image while in full screen or use a different emulator, I recommend mednafen.
