pssuspend -r "XBMC.exe"
What should be the batch file to reach the Dolphine directory and the iso directory with Advanced Launcher? You may have 2 solutions :
1- Put your .bat file into the Z:\Emulation\Wii\Dolphin\ directory and start it from this directory using Advanced Launcher.
2- Or modify your .bat launcher like this :
Code: pssuspend "XBMC.exe"
Z:\Emulation\Wii\Dolphin\Dolphin.exe /e "%1"
pssuspend -r "XBMC.exe"

I had already tried those solutions and it wasn't the solution. I found the problem...my batch file was dolphin launcher.bat, when I renamed it launcher.bat it worked
Hope it will help!
Thanks four your time Angelscry.
RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Application, Emulator and ROMs Launcher Addon for XBMC - djfourmoney - 2012-05-23
I'm really get frustrated with game launchers with XBMC.
I followed the video to setup ZSNES in XBMC via Advance Launcher, even unzipped the SMC file (Bill Walsh College Football). No problems setting up the emulator but then I add the game. (1) I get a script error and it won't add the game box for the game even though its been found via scraper. (2) the game won't launch, XBMC for a flash goes into Window mode and then back to full screen, nothing happens. With ePSX, I get a can't launch iso file error.
All emulators work outside XBMC. I thought Hyperspin might do what I want, but it won't. Doesn't support scrappers, don't want to keep the data locally.
Help!

Help! 1. If you have a script error, please post here the content of the xbmc.log and launchers.xml files (using pastebin service) just after the problem occurred. I cannot help you if I do not have these information.
2. If nothing happen (XBMC flash and back too fullscreen) when you start a launcher, that mean that you have you have something wrong with your launcher configuration. Advanced Launcher start the application as you have configured it. But because the configuration is wrong, the application close (due to error) and XBMC go immediately back to fullscreen. Here again post the content of the xbmc.log and launchers.xml files (using pastebin service). ISO file error with ePSXe could be due to a lot a reason : wrong indicated iso file, corrupted iso file, wrong ePSXe CDROM plugin, etc...
Please get in mind that if Advanced Launcher do not start correctly an application (and that you do not obtain script error) that's mean that you have not configured your application correctly (into Advanced Launcher or into the application itself). You will found some cofiguration example here : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=Main_Page

Hi, Angelscry.
I went through a complete reinstall of XBMC, thinking that may be this is what was causing the crashes, but it's happening again
Again, it launches MCE Netflix fine. Netfix works fine (other than an initial warning box about not being able to connect toserver, which disappears once the Netflix screen populates), I can play video perfectly).
The problem occurs when I press EXIT. The MCE window closes, but the minimized XBMC window just sits there with a spinning cursor and it requires me to force-quit it.
Strangely. exactly the same thing happens when I use PSKILL in the script.
Here is my log with the PSSuspend script, maybe you can tell what's happening:

Thank you for the script, but it will not help. There is no error. If you encounter the problem even using the script with PSKILL that's mean that it is a compatibility problem between MCE, Windows and XBMC. A last thing you can try is to check if the "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" option that is present into XBMC system settings is activated. If not... activate it.
RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - g.scholtens - 2012-05-24
Want to play windows games in xbmc (windows ultimate 7)
Advanched launcher is working good, and the game i want to play is now in Advanched launcher. But when i start a game.
The games are not opened in a maximized window. On the Properties from the .exe file i've set the settings to maximalize the window. But once I open the game in xbmc, he opens it in a normal window. If I exit the game, then I'm not going backwards in xbmc full screen. Xbmc I see minimized in the taskbar.
Please help

Advanched launcher is working good, and the game i want to play is now in Advanched launcher. But when i start a game.
The games are not opened in a maximized window. On the Properties from the .exe file i've set the settings to maximalize the window. But once I open the game in xbmc, he opens it in a normal window. If I exit the game, then I'm not going backwards in xbmc full screen. Xbmc I see minimized in the taskbar.
Please help To fully use Advanced Launcher under Windows operating system, you will need to activate the Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen option that is present into XBMC system settings. It you check this option does it solve your problem?

Angelscry, I was wondering, is there any chance we could see a custom rename option for multi-cd game's in the future? There are some multi-cd games where the discs aren't really named numerically but instead by content.
A couple examples from the original PSX would be Resident Evil 2 (Leon's disc and Claire's disc), Rival Schools (Evolution and Arcade discs) and Gran Turismo 2 (Arcade and Simulation discs).
It wouldn't have to be GUI based. It would probably actually be better if it wasn't as that would require more work on your end and would probably make the set up more time consuming on the user's end. Maybe something like if the romname ends in "-cdx" then it looks for a name in the preceding brackets. For example,
"Gran Turismo 2 [Arcade] -cdx" would result in a menu entry named "Arcade" instead of "Disc 1".
As a bonus, this could also be used for adding other extra content to the menus. An example would be naming a bat file "Gran Turismo 2 [Manual] -cdx.bat" and having it load the game's manual in a document viewer. It could also be used to make options for loading the game by different methods (different emulators or mounting vs passing the file as an argument). Specific examples aren't important, the point is that it would just add the possibility for greater customization.
Anyways, whether or not you like the idea, thanks again for all of your work with AL. It's the most important addition to my XBMC installation.

Thanks! Into Advanced Launcher settings, before perform a scan, you must be set "Local Images" as sources for both Thumbs and fanarts.
Version 1.8.2 - Angelscry - 2012-05-27
Version 1.8.2 : This new version of Advanced Launcher bring 2 small improvements. First, it add the support of 8.3 DOS format path format for windows XP users. Second, it improve the launcher information save during scan. Now if an error occurs during scan all the already scanned items will be already saved. No need for the user to rescan all the items again form the beginning.
Changelog :- Add 8.3 DOS format support (Windows XP).
- Improve scan saving.

I followed the video to setup ZSNES in XBMC via Advance Launcher, even unzipped the SMC file (Bill Walsh College Football). No problems setting up the emulator but then I add the game. (1) I get a script error and it won't add the game box for the game even though its been found via scraper. (2) the game won't launch, XBMC for a flash goes into Window mode and then back to full screen, nothing happens. With ePSX, I get a can't launch iso file error.
All emulators work outside XBMC. I thought Hyperspin might do what I want, but it won't. Doesn't support scrappers, don't want to keep the data locally.
Help! 1. If you have a script error, please post here the content of the xbmc.log and launchers.xml files (using pastebin service) just after the problem occurred. I cannot help you if I do not have these information.
2. If nothing happen (XBMC flash and back too fullscreen) when you start a launcher, that mean that you have you have something wrong with your launcher configuration. Advanced Launcher start the application as you have configured it. But because the configuration is wrong, the application close (due to error) and XBMC go immediately back to fullscreen. Here again post the content of the xbmc.log and launchers.xml files (using pastebin service). ISO file error with ePSXe could be due to a lot a reason : wrong indicated iso file, corrupted iso file, wrong ePSXe CDROM plugin, etc...
Please get in mind that if Advanced Launcher do not start correctly an application (and that you do not obtain script error) that's mean that you have not configured your application correctly (into Advanced Launcher or into the application itself). You will found some cofiguration example here : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=Main_Page
Okay, I tried running them again to get a log, here it is -
