Just remember to leave out the -m part of the arguments:

-m -s -v 22 %rom%

or you wont have access to the GUI in ZSNES.

Hmm, not sure about this one. Doesnt do it for me. Do you use the same controller as a remote normally or are you using a seperate remote to control XBMC? What kind of remote/controller are you using? And have you made any changes to your XML files or LIRC settings previously?

Thanks for the update Angelscry. Brilliant work with Advanced Laucher, by the way!

I am using a Logitech F710. I did not make any changes to the LIRC setting. I ended up reverting back to a previous state and I don't seem to have the same issues now.

Thank you for the tutorial. I personally wont use it but must say, looks very easy and im sure has helped loads of people.
Keep it up mate
Left you some rep.

That last step makes me very happy that I don't use LIRC! If you have a remote that emulates key presses (Tivo Slide like me, or use FLIRC with any IR remote) then that whole complicated mess to exit simply becomes "map a remote key to the ESC button", and you're done
Thanks for the tutorial. I have a bunch of retroports from retrousb.com that have been begging me to set up some emulators!

I signed up to this site just to thankyou for your tutorial i am a linux noob and i found this tutorial very easy to understand and i am using the zsnes emulator on XMBCbuntu now
thankyou

ohh and any chance you want to do a megadrive, NES, sega master system and playstation 1 & 2 tutorial as well? lol just kidding but i would use them

Running "Eden" here, on an Acer Revo 6310.

I too have to no sound issue, sadly your guide did not help for me. When i change the .asoundrc my xbmc video playback crashes on start (known issue on these forums)

So i'm kinda stuck

If anyone has some recommendations or wants to point me in the right direction, i'd be very happy!

i wonder if you have heard of the hyperspin project .? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KCcfMstxSI you may be interested to get this running

Hyperspin is only for Windows.

Hey guys, semi-n00b to linux and definitely to xbmc.

I got zsnes running in my desktop just fine but when I start the advanced launcher through xbmc the title screen of my game will come up and then it goes dark but I still hear audio. It will take inputs from my controller because I can hear the confirmation sounds but just no video whatsoever.

I've tried changing the filters and everything but to no avail. The only thing I can do at that point is ssh in from another box and kill the xbmc-standalone process.

My video drivers (ati/amd) are up to date and like I said, it works just fine from the desktop, so I've been wracking my brain about what might be interfering. Thanks in advance!

So I think I figured out a little the black screen issue I'm having. What happens is that when I hit the A button (I'm using an xbox wireless controller with a dongle attached to server) the screen blacks out.

Is it possible it's taking this input as an xbmc command and swapping video sources or some such? If I use a keyboard I can hit \ to go out of fullscreen and then esc to back out and that puts me back in the program menu but that doesn't really fix the underlying issue. Any ideas/directions? Thanks guys.
