I'm currently using Aeon MQ8 but have had to remove them theme xmls to get RCB to work, can anyone make any recommendations ??

I had this issue with Aeon MQ7 too. I asked the skin autors several times to fix it but it never happened. However even if they would fix it I think it would always be broken when RCB gets a new update. So only chance is to create those themes in RCB itself I guess.

RoyusMC made a panel view for me and it looks really nice. Only the font of the games title is a bit small in my opinion. However this seems hard to get fixed.

But I assume it won't work with Kodi Matrix because of Python 3. Didnt test it though.

What do you mean with customisable menus? What menus would you like to customize?

There have not been any changes to the skinning engine that break compatibility of RCB. So I think this view should still work.

I am planning to integrate this view with one of the next releases. Besides all the bug fixes this is one of the issues with a higher priority. So I hope it does not take too long.

Yes, you are right. The view works with Kodi Matrix, too. Smile

Hello, when I try to launch games on 2.2.4 (without a playcount), I get this error.  Is this a bug?

What do you mean with "without a playcount"?

Meaning -- from a fresh install.  The error I pasted looks like it's trying to increase the loadcount of the ROM, but there's a conversion error.


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Kupo91 - 2020-04-14

I just added a new game to my collection and experienced the same. All other roms work as usual. Just the new one doesnt work.

Ok, I could reproduce it here. It happens when you imported games via nfo scraper.

Fixed in Leia and master branch now.

Tried mobygame, thegamedb, but nothing.
I added Game & Watch to the list of supported platforms. Updated in master (Matrix) and Leia branch.

A big thank you also for all your explanation.

By cons small worries when I want to add roms a section, it does not add them to me. It scrapes well the first time but impossible to add afterwards.
Do you have something to say please?

Thanks in advance
