Help with Rom Collection Browser on Mac (XBMC Frodo 12.1)

Hey guys,

sorry if this has been posted before, but i cannot seem to find a clear tutorial to help me out.
For some reason, i cannot seem to get RCB to work properly on my my Mac Mini running XBMC Frodo 12.1.
Emulators are not starting up at all, or will start up the first time, but when i try to launch a second time it just doesn't to anything.
I probably haven't got the right setting or something.

I was wondering if anyone with a similar setup can help me setting everything up?

Which emulator to use (PS3 gamepad support is a must)
How to set it up properly

I want to make use of the following emulators:

NES
SNES
Megadrive

Any help would be highly appreciated, as i am struggling for some time now and i really want to give those old games a try again!

Great, not a single response in a week!

A more friendly bump would have increased your chances to get a response. I guess there are not much people around that use RCB on a mac, so chances are high that these few just missed your post.

I don't have a mac myself so I can't be of help atm. I have read some configurations of mac users in the RCB thread but I can't say if they still work.

You're right, didn't mean to be rude or something, was just a little disappointed because i really want to get thing working.
I think that most people run RCB on a windows machine indeed.
Hope that i can find a good tutorial after all.
Thans for your reply though!

I just remembered a workaround that a user posted in the german XBMC forum. Unfortunately it requires to edit config.xml manually but maybe it helps.

Go to "/users/yourname/library/Application Support/XBMC/userdata/addon_data/script.games.rom.collection.browser" and open the file "config.xml".

In case of SNES (and emulator Snes9x) edit the emu cmd an params lines like this:

<emulatorCmd>open</emulatorCmd>
<emulatorParams>-a /Applications/Snes9x.app "%ROM%"</emulatorParams>

Great, will give that a try this weekend!
Thanks!
