I'm hoping I can get some help with setting up RCB to load savestates of games on my emulators. The two emulators I am mainly concerned with are my NES (FCEUX) and SNES (SNES9X or ZSNES) emulators. I've got everything set up in RCB and can load the games without any problem. I just can't figure out how to get the saved states to load. Specifically, what I need to know is the savestate params for setup in RCB. Can anyone provide these for me or at least point me in the right direction to find them? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Xpadder just remaps your controller buttons to keyboard buttons. For example I use an xbox 360 wirless controller to play all my emulators. While using Xpadder, it just sits in the background, it will switch an Xpadder profile for me when it senses an emulator opens up. So for example im in Xbmc, and click on a SNES game, it will launch my snes emulator and Xpadder will swtich to my SNES profile. Then I have only 1 button my Xbox controller mapped, and that is to hold the back button for 3 seconds to exit the emulator, at 3 seconds it hits Alt+F4. So in your situation, I could map my L shoulder, and R shoulder buttons to be save states, or load states. Just map whatever hotkey the emulator uses for save and load states. When I exit the emulator, Xbmc loads back up, and my Xpadder switches to my Xbmc profile, so I no longer have to worry about those buttons I assigned to SNES. I do this for every emulator I have, and can make infinite numbers of profiles designed for each emulator.

Sounds very interesting, and much more efficient than what I am trying to do! I am going to look into Xpadder and try and integrate that into my setup. Got a link to a good Xpadder tutorial? Also, on another note, I was going to grab me one of those wireless Xbox controllers for the PC online. Would I have any problems usin g this to play the games on the emulators? Thanks!

So I tested this add-on by loading up the entire NES ROM collection (based on the No-intro set), and while it looks like it grabbed most of the games correctly, I'm still missing a few games. It seems like if the game in question has the same title, but is made by multiple companies, it will pick the first ROM and not load the rest. For example, Tetris was made by a number of companies (Elorg, Tengen, Bulletproof, etc), but the only one that gets loaded into the ROM listing is Tetris by Bulletproof (because in alphabetical order, Bulletproof comes first).
Has anybody had similar issues? If so, what's the work around? I have complete ROM sets and I would like to be able to browse through them with xbmc and this add-on, if possible

Very strange issue. I have been using RCB for quite awhile now but a few days ago my library shows up completely blank on startup with the ALL filter. the only way to fix this is to press C and clean the database which takes a fairly long time on my slow computer before RCB is usable. I am currently using the aeon skin and when I press the up button the menu does not come down so the only option is to Re- clean the database every time I open RCB which becomes quite frustrating after awhile. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions.
Thanks!

@toki5:
I don't fully understand what you are trying to achieve. Can you try to explain it more detailed?
@benlen10:
Never seen this. Can you show me a log file after this happened and after you did the clean db?
What happens if you press other buttons (up, down, left, right)? Sometimes the focus stucks on some hidden control and you need to go to another direction to get out of it.
