Hi Soujirou,
I'm not exactly sure what your trying to say but I'm guessing it didn't work from command line
Is this what your putting in?
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Project64 1.6\Project64.exe" "C:\XBMC\EMULADOR\Emuladores 2\Nintendo 64\Roms\Automobili Lamborghini (E) [!].z64"
If so does it work? If it doesn't you may want to seek advice from the project64 forum.
As a reference a quick google revealed this, not sure if its accurate or the right version but place to start.
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - whitetigerx8 - 2015-03-13
I just got into Rom Collection browser 2.1.2 and things were going smoothly, but I am having a few troubles. I am using the Confluence skin with Kodi
First, Some of the settings/options don't seem to display on my screen. For example, if I choose to select Import Games, there's a big blank space after the words Rom Collection or Scraping mode; just some up/down arrows at the end that make a noise that something is changing when I highlight them and press enter, but I can't see what. This happens on a few other spots in the menus where I can make a choice from a list, but can't the list at all. What's up with that?
Second, does ePSXe work with it? I tried setting the emulator Params to "%ROM%", but when I select a game, Kodi opens up ePSXe, but doesn't start the game.
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Zpectre87 - 2015-03-14
Online scraping takes a while here. I have lots of ROMs, so it takes an exceeedingly long time. Is it possible to quicken it? If not, I'll have to iron out my collection and only leave the ones I'd play more often...

I believe it should work. Emulator params refers to the commandline inputs of the emulator. %ROM% is an RCB placeholder that tells the emulator to load whichever ROM you select in the Kodi menu, but it may be more complicated than that if you want the emulator to directly load the CD image. Refer to ePSXe's documentation, and also try to find if you need to point to the cuesheets instead of the CD images themselves, as PSX CDs should be mixed mode, which contain both data and music, so they need cuesheets. In this case, when selecting the extension, you'll need to use *.cue instead of *.bin.
You also need the correct PSX BIOS for the games you're emulating. Google is your friend!
I had a similar problem with RetroArch and learned that I must use libretro commandline parameters in the Emulator params field in order to make it automatically load a ROM for a given core.
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - whitetigerx8 - 2015-03-14
Thanks for the ePSXe info. I got it to work now.
Now if I could figure out why I can't see the options for various settings in the menus; that would be helpful. I also noticed that the words Console, Genre, Year, Publisher, and A-Z run across the top part of the screen in black when I look through my rom collection. They always appear up there no matter what view I use to look at the collection or even if I change the skin. Those words will move down if I look at the filters options, and i noticed that they do match the options in order. Is this a glitch, too?
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - GOOCHY - 2015-03-15
I'm having problems getting audio to work with Rom Collection Browser and OpenELEC. I've tried all the settings that various forums have proposed and wondered if anybody else had this problem and was able to resolve it. I'm using a Chromebox with a standalone install of OpenELEC and Kodi 14.2.
I can launch a ROM using Rom Collection Browser, nestopia is the emulator - though I can't get sound through any of them. The ROM launches without a problem but there's no audio.
The "alsa" driver doesn't seem to work at all. When I change it to "sdl" I can at least run the speaker-test as long as RCB hasn't been launched. It almost seems like the file or the ability to use the audio channel is getting locked somehow.

Thats the same issue I mentioned a couple of day ago white tiger, I have uploaded a couple of screens to give Malte a better idea, see below:
You can see the "Console Genre Year Publisher A-Z" out of line regardless of whether the menu is showing or not.

What's up with that?Are you sure that you use RCB 2.1.2 and Confluence (as your main skin and not just in RCBs skin selection menu)? This issue is known for older RCB versions with Kodi and still could happen with other skins than Confluence. But with 2.1.2 and Confluence it should work for sure.

If you want it quick, just select thegamesdb as scraper and set the other 2 options to "None". But you will be missing some infos with this method. Archive.vg and Giantbomb are not working atm, so they will just consume time without any benefit. Best option would be to use thegamesdb and moby and set the 3rd option to "None".

But is looks like you have done this already.
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - GOOCHY - 2015-03-16
The problem ended up being a few different minor settings. OpenELEC needed to have the proper interface configured in the "retroarch.cfg". I determined that by doing "aplay -l"
------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenELEC:~ # aplay -l

------------------------------------------------------------------
I also needed to change the display driver from "alsa" to "alsathread" - when I did that audio started working on ROMs that I launched via the "retroarch.sh" command from the CLI of the OpenELEC box, but audio still didn't work when I launched games using Rom Collection Browser. I went into the Rom Collection Browser and changed the audio settings to suspend the audio before launching. Immediately that did the trick. Now audio works across all emulators launched from Rom Collection Browser whereas they did not previously.
Hopefully this is helpful to someone. I will try to write up a longer post with a detailed walk-through on how to set this up on a Chromebox. It seems like there are all kinds of walk-throughs/guides on the Internet but a lot of them are piecemeal, referring to other websites that are also half-correct or not thorough.

I quickened the process by removing archive.vg from the process. It's very slow. I've had the best luck (so far, NES, SNES...) using mobygames.com. It seemed to have images for everything I scraped from my collection.
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - ragedogg69 - 2015-03-16
Is anyone using RCB with MQ5? While games launch fine from inside RCB, they do not launch from the most played shortcut list within MQ5. Anyone else have the issue?

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. But, even with all the scrapers, RCB fails to retrieve info for certain games... It's possible the sites' database has some missing games.

Aeon Nox is a little broken with RCB. When it asks you to create a config (first time use), the dialog boxes don't have descriptions (to tell you what it's doing, like to browse the emulator, or the ROM files).
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - GOOCHY - 2015-03-17
I'm having a problem getting my local boxfront files to scrape. I run an initial online scrape to pull info, images, etc. but then afterward I want to rescrape and just add my boxfront images and it's not working. Can someone walk me through the process because obviously I'm not getting it.
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - whitetigerx8 - 2015-03-17
Idarot - I have Confluence set for both Kodi and RCB 2.1.2. I got the 2.1.2 version of RCB by downloading the add-on through Kodi. Today, I just updated from Kodi 14 to Kodi 14.2, and the problem with the words being on the screen when I'm not in a filter options just stopped, but I still can't see the menu options. BTW, this is a Windows 7 64-bit PC I' m using. Here's some photos:
Could someone at least tell me the default order of the options for the scrapers so I can get my roms updated?
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - GOOCHY - 2015-03-17
Any suggestions on how to get local files to show up as the box cover?
