Into Advanced Launcher, create 2 favourites : 1 for your Games category and 2 for your Emulator category. Then add these favourites as menu or submenu entries into your skin settings.

Sorry for bothering you all the time angels, but your addon is very good, very helpful and has great potential ... I like much his work in XBMC.

I'm emulating the Dreamcast with nullDC 1.0.4 rev 150, and realized that most roms cdi crashes on launch or shortly gaming. Some already get error and do not even open, giving error plugin image, as the case of iso Dead or Alive 2.

As it is difficult to find isos without problems and most are ripped with loaders (echelon). Would be correct to use the GD-Roms in gdi format

The problem is that the GD-ROMs, in GDI format has a different structure. the gdi have in all the files format standard bin. Gdi all have the same names in all files

Ex: Bomberman Online.gdi

track1.bin
track3.bin
track2.raw

What makes it impossible to keep them in the same directory.

What I wonder is if advanced launcher would be able to read subdirectories

ex:

iso folder
       |
Bomberman Online sub folder
       |
Bomberman Online.gdi
track1.bin
track3.bin
track2.raw

i can do it, or you implement it??

Thanks for your attention!

Normally, Advanced Launcher support recursive scan option. Just verify that the option into Advanced Launcher > Addon-Settings > Data & Infos > Scan Settings > Recursive Scan is checked. Then create a launcher pointing your Dreamcast root directory (iso folder) then indicate gdi as file extension. It should work.

It's Windows 7 x64,
Display language: English
Codepage for non-unicode programs: German (Germany)
XBMC set to English, Default codepage

Some more info on import behaviour:

Scanning items (automatically):
ßäöü in folder names => Items within that folder are not parsed
ßäöü in file names only => umlauts are erased (Der große Graben => Der groe Graben)

Adding items manually:
Titles are preserved correctly, because XBMC pops up the naming dialogue.
However, files that were entered with their correct umlauts cannot be opened.

The movie component of XBMC doesn't have this problem, i.e. the movie "Die tödliche Maria" in a folder with the same name can be opened without problems.

So how would I configure Retroarch to work, with the same principle as zsnes? How would the .bat file look like? Sorry for the lack of knowledge, I don't know much at all about scripting..

I've moved on from zsnes and trying to get RetroArch to work and looked at the content on the link you sent.
The problem is, I have to define which core it should be using for each game, and I have no idea how to tell Advance Launcher
to use for example a SNES core to run a .smc game.

when running RetroArch and on exit, resume XBMC? I know I've asked this before but with zsnes, but I'm asking again because I have no idea how to script it for either zsnes or RetroArch, I just read through the forum for the zsnes bit.

I really want to use Sirius XM on my xbmc builds, but cannot seem to find any reasonable methods for integration. This was just an idea that popped into my head.
