[RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs

Hello everyone, I'm really happy with ROM Collection Browser, just one issue. When I run XBMC in any skin other then Confluence, RCB will no longer play back video previews of the ROMs (in any RCB skin) particularly with either Night or Neon in either Dharma or Eden. On the other hand when I'm in Confluence everything works great (in any of RCB's skins including night). Please help! Thanks (-: !!!

I have a big retro games collection and everytime I try to update importing all collections I get stuck by this warning because it repeats on and on.

Sorry, not atm. I could add this as an option in the next release. But this will take some time as I don't have a running dev environment these days. I guess it will need 1-2 more weeks to be back in business.

I have to check this. I was sure this should work. As said above, I need some time to get back on this.

This works perfectly for me in confluence and MQ3.

Hi,

I've got a little issue that was asked before but not answered. Couldn't find a resolution elsewhere, too. Hope i wasn't just to dumb search correctly ;-)

So here is what's bugging me:
I installed the addon and the service. When I try to add a rom collection I can't change the path to the emulator after selecting the one i want to use.
The only option is a path to my fanarts i set in the video section. But all the other paths i've set so far arent there either, just this one :/

Using XBMC on Win7-x64. All Files, Database and settings are stored on my nas.

Greetings

Strusi

It looks like you used solo mode (which will close XBMC before launching a game and starts RCB on next XBMC launch) and RCB had problems to set the correct flag after it was first launched. On Dharma: Check your userdata folder for a file autoexec.py and delete it. On Eden: Check RCBs userdata folder and delete the file settings.xml.

If you already made changes to one of these files that you don't want to loose, let me know and I can give more detailed explanation on how to get rid of RCBs restart mechanism.

Malte,

Many thanks for your reply a couple of weeks back, apologies for the time taken to try this out - unfortunately, on boot up, XBMC still automatically goes into RCB. I'm using Eden, so I deleted the settings.xml file in appdata/roaming/xbmc/userdata/addons_data/script.games.rom.collection.browser/ - is this the correct one?

None of my collections are set up to use solo mode. Any other suggestions?

Many thanks

Did you add the paths to your games (or complete drives) in XBMCs file manager? And do you have any optical discs or virtual drives attached?

Yes, this was the correct one. You could also try to remove RCB service addon if you don't use solo mode.

Thx for the fast help. Can't actually remember that i used the file manager before (must though, because the fanart was there O_o), but that helped, i now see the right paths.

Is there a list anywhere of compatible emulators? I installed the nintendo 64 emulator Project 64 1.6 and it does not work with this app. Says "can not load file" when the emulator starts. Emulator works fin on it's own.

Have a look on Angelscry's website. It has good ressources for setting up emulators (including project 64, but didn't tested myself)

Hello.. I'm having audio issues running this program. I can load SNES roms using ZNES and the run fine without the support of audio. I'm using a Zotac ZBOXHD-ID11-U and running XBMCbuntu v 11.0. I have audio working fine during video and music playback but no audio when running ZNES. Any suggestions or diection would be greatly appreciated.

thank you!
