Darkcloud Wrote:I have problems running PS1 Games with EPSXE through RCB. The games start without a problem with the -loadiso "%rom" -nogui commands but epsxe doesn't find any memorycard or savestates so I can not save or load a game. I tried launching it through cmd with the same parameters (replacing the %rom with a iso name) and the emulator detects the memory cards and savestates. I tried using a .bat file with -loadiso %1 -nogui but the problem still occurs. What does RCB different than launching the emulator through cmd?

altoiddealer Wrote:I'm trying to import some ROM hacks by setting "local .NFO" in the Import Games window. It appears to read the new .NFO files (I see the new names as it scrolls through) but it doesn't import anything.

Super Mario Rebirth (Hack) for instance... I duplicated Super Mario Bros.nes, and Super Mario Bros.nfo, and renamed them Super Mario Bros Rebirth (Hack).nes and Super Mario Bros Rebirth (Hack).nfo I editted the new .NFO changing the title and plot. I also placed "Super Mario Bros Rebirth (Hack).ips" next to those files.

In RCB, I select Import Games... then NES Collection. Interactive (Tried all three). Scraper 1: Local .nfo, None, None (Also tried Local .nfo, local .nfo, local .nfo) I can see "Super Mario Bros Rebirth (Hack) flash on the screan as it scans the files, but it doesn't import it.

Anyone know why this isn't working? Thanks in advance!

malte Wrote:Usually it should work like you describe it. Did you also duplicate the artwork files? I could imagine that it does not find any files and stops the import because of that.

Could you please check the log file after you tried to import the games and upload the file?

Darkcloud Wrote:About the problem with theromhacks: You have to set RCB to add games without complete descriptions and artwork or you have to copy the artwork and rename it accordingly.

Batou Wrote:Am I right in thinking that the import game routine/parser thing does not like square brackets "[]" in folder/filenames? With square brackets in the folder name, the import just gets stuck and XBMC stops responding. With square bracket in filenames, the files get parsed but nothing gets imported and the library remains empty.

Batou Wrote:Also, I have seen that another addon (advanced launcher something) has a scraper for gamefaqs. Gamefaqs database is incredibly good with romanized Japanese game names and has quite high quality boxart (and no watermarks: looking at you mobygames) so I was wondering about the chances of getting a gamefaqs scraper for RCB?

Darkcloud Wrote:Thank you two. The relative paths where the problem. It is possible to set fixed paths to the memcards but not to the savestates. I set the batch file to a .lnk file of the emulator. This solves the problem.

F. Krueger Wrote:So can we put arguments in to RCB yet? or is it still the cfg.

If we still have to put them in to the cfg. Which cfg is it and where?

And if it is possible to enter them to RCB is that the "Game command" box?

Darkcloud Wrote:1. Make a Disc selector for multi CD/DVD games. I think most emulators don't have the option to load multiple disks and than use a change option to change between them. I think a option for each collection to use the old mulit load system or the disc selector would be the best idea.

The multi disc one would be the really important addition because without it it is pretty complicated to play multi disc games. The second one would be just nice to have.

Darkcloud Wrote:2. An Option to check games you have played through like it is available for watched movies and episodes in XBMC. The best would be 2 check marks one for finishing the game and one for 100% completion.

Darkcloud Wrote:EDIT: Oh and an option to hide the scanning process would be nice. I want to update the collections on startup but i don't want to see the small update window every time.
