Hi All. I've been using boxee for a while but recently made the switch to XBMC. So far liking it better. I need some help smoothing out my install though. I'm running the Transparency! theme because I love how it shows the fanart. I want just one games menu with all my PC games and roms in it. I've got a menu for games at the top most level. But to launch say Zsnes, I have to click games, then launcher, then Zsnes, then i'm presented with a list of roms. I'd rather just click on games then zsnes, then get the list. How can I move the zsnes launcher up in the menu tree?
Thanks in advance,
MrDowntempo

Ahh thanks. That was totally different than how I first tried it. Its working now! Now I just need boxart and fanart for all of these roms. Is there a program similar to media companion that can retrieve them for me? Also I have roms in multiple directories (sorted by either alphabet or region) It doesn't seem like the launcher plugin can search recursively through one rom directory into its subdirectories, or am I doing something wrong? Otherwise do I just need to move all the roms for any given emulator into one big directory?

You could also try another approach-
I have it so my Games just goes right into HyperSpin, where all my emulators and roms are set up.
Just an idea.

I added Hyperspin to the launcher, but aptalca's method of adding launchers to the game menu seems to only work for launchers that access a directory. Since hyperspin manages the directory tree directly, it is just a simple application launcher and doesn't seem to be selectable from the add source menu. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks again.
