My next dumb question: How do I use Games?

el_Paraguayo · 2011-05-21 12:38

What do I need to do to get the Games menu option to work?

I've got an N64 emulator on my machine but clicking on Games just gives me a blank screen with no option to configure the emulator and rom location.

Do I need a particular add-on enabled/configured first?

Thanks.

Yep, advanced launcher addon is what you need.

Butcha, forgot to thank you for this!

Works a charm.

Now I just need to find away of stopping XBMC turning off my screen when I'm running an emulator!

If you play game this process is very simple you press only click on game folder and choose the game .By defult in computer provide the simple game you also play this game.

The problem is after, say 15 mins of playing a game, the monitor switches off.

I'm not sure this is an XBMC thing rather than a Linux thing - I suspect it doesn't register the controller as "activity" which keeps the monitor awake.
