I'm having weird issues with Mame and RCB again - pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong Tongue


This is what I have in RCB:
Emulator Cmd: C:\Cage\XBMC Addons\Roms\Mame\mame.exe (that's where the mame is)
Emulator Params: "%ROM%"
Rom Path: C:\Cage\XBMC Addons\Roms\Mame\roms
File Mask: *.zip

Mame.ini:
rompath C:\Cage\XBMC Addons\Roms\Mame\Roms

I've also tried it with the -inipath "C:\Cage\XBMC Addons\Roms\Mame\roms" "%ROM%"
to no avail.

It can't find the files, now the window closes too fast for me to read - but that's the gist of what it's saying. Sad I had it working under vista, but now I just can't get it to work with XBMC. It may also be of note that when I run MAME by itself, it works fine enough.

Thanks

so after moving to a new state and getting everything set up I decided I wanted to try my luck at getting RCB dialed in.

I have my roms stored on my server smb://TOWER/Games/Consoles/SNES/Roms/allromshere.zip

when setting it up via the quick setup wizard I do not have an option to select my SMB share only "home" and "root"

do I need to manually configure my config file?

@fional:
AFAICS your configuration looks correct. Can you check the command that is written to xbmc.log when you try to launch the game? Does this work when you launch it via command line?

@Flomaster:
You should create the config with the wizard by adding a dummy rom path. After that you should edit the rom path in config.xml like this:
Code:
\\TOWER\Games\Consoles\SNES\Roms\*.zip
A lot of users reported problems with the standard smb:// path syntax.

New version available: 0.8.7

General:
  • removed option CACHESELECTION from caching options
Game Import:
  • bugfix: error with handling [] in rom names

This is just a quick bug fix release to get this version marked as the new stable version soon. The wiki is already up to date with the new features.

Is it possible to get this working with the latest nightlies? I keep getting 'dependencies not met' errors on install.

I tested with a nightly 2-3 weeks ago and it worked for me without problems on Win7. But I did not try to install it, just had the code still in the addons directory.

The xbmc.log is full of deprecated warnings, so it may happen that it stops working from one day to the other if you update XBMC frequently.

I want to get a stable version into the Dharma repo in the next days and then I will start to work on Eden compatibility. Expect it to last some more days/weeks until this is really done.

Would it be possible to have RCB to act like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXDDraeFROg with the Pearl Theme? Selection a console on RCB isn't really appealing and is confusing to new comers. I have my XBMC setup to be friendly for kids to use.

I am planning to inject kind of a dashboard some day: displaying all consoles with short description and some statistics (number of games, favorite games, last played, etc.). But the main idea with having the filter controls on the game browsing screen wil remain. For me it is important to have the option to filter my games by more than console.

And I have a lot more issues on my list with a higher prio. I guess this dashboard has to wait some more releases.

If this is the way you want to browse your roms you should take a look at Advanced Launcher. It already works this way: Zap through your consoles and then show all games belonging to this console.

Just wanted a quick indication that I'm not wasting my time here. Installed the plugin on XBMC Live running off a hard disk. Set it up with a mame rom in a directory and downloaded the repository for sdlmameforubuntu for Maverick Meerkat, seemed to install ok, no errors anyway. When I run RCL it freezes about 25% of importing the rom. I'm using the Transparency skin if that's an issue.

Can this be done on xbmlive?

Thanks

- malte - 2011-05-31

Yes, it should work with XBMCLive. Only the solo mode won't work if you don't have an additional window manager installed.

What does the log say when it stops the import?

- ferry - 2011-05-31

Sorry to be a pain, where will I find the log? thanks

- malte - 2011-05-31

No problem. Check this wiki page.

Pasted from the point I started RCB

Looks like a configuration error. You need to specify a rom file mask (like *.zip) in the Edit Rom Collection dialog.

- ferry - 2011-05-31

Thanks, done *.zip and its working now, loads the rom. Down in the bottom left of the screen there is a "launch..." text. Is there a way to select this with the remote control?
