Hi mcborzu, I wish to implement launching Hyperspin / Mame /PC Games or other Emulators directly from Night Home screen . I know its not as simple as adding custom home submenu . there has been similar work done complete with rotating fanart for this specific genre ( Games ) but thats only for Aeon .. see here --->http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=55776 , And Here ---->http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=83165

Could this be done ? and How ?

1. This is not MY MOD, i just ported it from Alaska Revisited to Aeon65 & Aeon MQ2. I don't know who made it for Night. Angelscry made all the work for Alaska Revisited. See thread:http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=82469

2. You have to go through posts from this thread post Nr. 799

I know it's a bit confusing ... Eek

You can launch games from Home, I just added Super Mario Bros 2 as a fav and then added that to Home.

Probably need to use Launcher addon though as just linking to a .exe,.rom...I doubt would work
