Just came across this thread, very awesome stuff! I spent a few hours working on setting up Retroarch and integrating it with XBMC. After I finally got it launching games I found that it doesn't utilize the autosave states. I've used Retroarch in the past without XBMC and this functionality worked just fine. I'm using the same config file I had set up previously (pressing a button on controller saves the state and quits the application) and everytime I try this from within XBMC it just launches games as if it were the first time being played.
I tried setting the save state extension from within RCB to *.auto, and this does bring up a list of the save states, however when selecting one of them, it brings me to the Retroarch config application. Is there something special I need to do to tell it to resume from the autosave other than in the config file?
I'm running XBMC 12.3 on Windows 7.

I need a guide to exit commands for emulators. I need to know how to exit out of epsxe and nulldc and various other emulators through the controller I'm using that has xinput. Thanks in advance.

Do you know how I'd be able to add my other two Playstation libraries (rom collections) into Rom Collection Browser using a different playstation emulator?

Thank you for the wonderful addon.
I was able to scrape most of my mame roms using the offline method.
How do I scrape Megadrive (Sega Genesis) roms for artwork and info?
The roms for the above platform are all using short file name format (fb alpha), therefore conventional scrapers don't scrape them.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Another question about scraping for artwork.
1. When RCB scrapes for artwork and info does it use the archive name (if the rom is packed) or the rom name inside the archive?
2. Will the scraping results be better of one was to rename roms in such a way as to remove extra descriptors in the file name such as (J), (U) (VS) etc...?

I hate to be a burden on a first post, but I just installed xbmc and rom collection browser
i thought i would have a go at adding my collection of roms starting with Atari 7800
im using hyperlaunch as the game launcher
so my settings for the launcher is "Atari 7800" "ROMNAME"
ive set the roms folder to where my collection of 7800 games are located
the file extension ive set to *.a78
now when i go to import games i leave everything as it already is. ie don't touch scrapers or anything else
it starts gets to about 3% and never progresses any further
i have an i5 cpu so i would thought that wouldn't be a problem, (i did notice it did a couple of games (pretty slow ie about a minute for 2 games) before going no further.
any help would be much appreciated , thanking you in advance :-)
im new to xmbc so if you need me to check any log files please let me know where they are
ok after trying different things,I've figured if I change the default skin in xbmc it starts working but very slowly (probably 30 minutes for 54 games)
