RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2018-01-29
I used the exact Donkey Kong file that you pasted above. I just tested it from a local drive and not from an smb location. So I think this is the current issue.
Did you try this notation in RCB: \\xxx\media\GAMES\N64\%GAME%\game.xml ?
Maybe this helps already. But I can't test it atm as I am not at home.
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - gotham2014 - 2018-01-29
That did the trick, Thanks!
I remember that the reason that I did not use drive letters in kodi, as it would not show up in the RCB browser.
Happy to test for you whenever you are doing coding on the RCB.

Good to see your working back on RCB malte, not sure if you or anyone else wants to make use of https://github.com/billyc999/Game-database-info
ideal for making offline scrapers
im hoping to keep adding to the csv files shortly, anyone who wants to add to them feel free to do so

billyc666 Wrote:Good to see your working back on RCB malte, not sure if you or anyone else wants to make use of https://github.com/billyc999/Game-database-infoNice. We are reworking our scrapers atm. Will definitely have a second look when this is done.

Hi, sorry to bother you again. I was trying to add a PS2 collection, but for some reason it will not import the game. And my N64 games are not loaded anymore in retroarch. Did not do anything to retroarch either. Can you see any mistakes in the below xml?

Quote:Configuration Error: Cannot scrape Playstation 2 games with Nintendo 64 scaper. Invalid combination of scaper settings
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2018-02-03
Importing PS2 games: In the config.xml you have selected the Nintendo 64 parser for the PS2 collection. You can go to "Edit Rom Collection" dialog on "Import game data" tab and change it there. Or just change it on the fly in the Import dialog just before the scraping starts.
Launching N64 games: You have set "Make local copy" to False. I think Retroarch can not handle smb path. So you should set it to True or change the path to a drive letter.
RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - gotham2014 - 2018-02-03
Thanks!. I had overlooked the little scraper ref line of code. That did the trick.
As for the local copy. I checked and it was set to True. So I decided to set to false, save it. and set back to true again. For some reason this fixed it. it launches the N64 games again. :-)
Just wondering about the PS2 game. I dont think Retroactch can play a .iso file. as it crashed when trying to open it. I cant find the answer online either. Hoping someone knows what I need to do with a downloaded PS2 game in .iso format to make it readable in retroarch?
Thanks

Afaik Retroarch cannot run PS2 games. There is PCSX2 as emulator but I never tested it.

Hi @malte.
I have been able to open a ps2 game in PCSX2 emulator directly, and trying to find the correct settings for launching it within RCB. I found the following arguments for Emby Theater to use. Each argument will need to be placed on a single line in Emby Theater. Can I just add these in RCB or do I need to change something in the parameters?
--nogui
--fullscreen
{PATH} Secondly, for opening a PS1 game using retroarch. Can I use the same arguments as we did for N64 (replacing N64 urls with PS)?
Lastly, what do I need to use for setting up windows games (.exe) to play from RCB? Any tutorial you might have?
Thanks again

Thanks for all the work @malte It s great to find new builds. Still working on lcdsmartie project btw.
Another thing I noticed since you are working on scrapers. There is no default image when a game cant get info, right? On list view doesnt bother, but on other views, feels a little weird, games with no image, shows like invisible boxes. Would be better to replace invisible game boxes with a generic image?

If you want to use different configs for PS1 and N64 games you should create a config file for each of them in Retroarch and reference the specific file in RCBs command arguments.

Atm you could hide these games with the missing info filter: https://github.com/maloep/romcollectionbrowser/wiki/MissingInfoFilter.

@malte Thanks for the quick response.
Just wondering how to best add The X Files Game as it consists of 7 disc instead of 1 game file. The tutorial only points to 1 file. They are currently in the following folder structure:
Games > Windows > The X-Files > CD1 > XFiles1.ccd
Games > Windows > The X-Files > CD1 > XFiles1.cue
Games > Windows > The X-Files > CD1 > XFiles1.img
Games > Windows > The X-Files > CD1 > XFiles1.sub
Games > Windows > The X-Files > CD2 > XFiles2.ccd
etc
UPDATE: I guess I only have to link to the first XFiles1.img file. The others will be loaded within the game. Maybe best to put all in same folder.

Didn't you install the game and have 1 exe file that you can point to?
