Version 1.3.2 - Angelscry - 2011-05-01
Version 1.3.2 : Another small update for the Advanced Launcher add-on. This one is fixing a small bug on GameFAQs and MobyGames scrapers that made them returning wrong results. This is now fixed. I have also taken advantage of this fix to make some code cleaning.
ChangeLog:
- Fix thumb/fanart bug for GameFAQs and MobyGames scrapers
- Code cleaning

just wanted to say excellent job on 1.3.2 worked perfectly also i was reading your autoit script for exit on esc im not much of a code person but i attempted for like an hour what i want is to use this script with a few different emulators ill show you what i got and if you can tell me where im wrong or re-write it that would be awesome and thanks again for the help earlier
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
If $CmdLine[0] == 1 Then
Run ( '"D:\Emulators\NES\VirtuaNES.exe"' & $CmdLine[1] & '"', "D:\Emulators\NES\" )
While 1
Sleep(100)
WEnd
EndIf
Func Terminate()
ProcessClose ( "VirtuaNES.exe" )
Exit 0
EndFunc

It is possible that there is a problem related to the command line.

thank you for taking a look at it what happens is after i compile it to exe it and put it in the folder when i try to open the exe it does nothing but if i open the original exe it works fine here is the pastebin to my launcher http://pastebin.com/y8WNWpKy

Hey angelscry, I'm having problems with fusion genesis emu. I've used args as -auto -fullscreen "(rom)" it works fine but when exiting the emu closes but xbmc comes back to a half window. I've checked to use window rather fullscreen which usually fixes the problem am I missing something.cheers bruv!

To works it's absolutely need an argument (If $CmdLine[0] == 1). Is you want to test you launcher you need for example use a test.bat file like this :
Code:
VirtuaNES-launcher.exe "E:\nes\roms\Contra.zip"Here is the WIKI page : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=VirtuaNES#Windows
Here is the launcher to quit with ESC key : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=253#p253
But... your code and your launcher configuration were correct...

I'm running XBMC in a dual screen set up. I'm using this wmctrl hack, but it seems to mess with programs I run with Advanced Launcher.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can sort this out?
- silvers46 - 2011-05-02
ok ran into another dilemma snes9x it uses esc to open the toolbar so when i try to program a launcher like virtuanes it does nothing it will not close the program i have a few other emulators that are this way but i figured if i got 1 figured out that it should work the same for the rest and the viruanes code worked perfect for fusion thanks

weird difference was my winclose snes9x wasnt capitalized but i guess that's enough to make a difference thanks so much for all your help i should be leaving you alone now for awhile just built a mame cabinet and was driving me crazy to have the keyboard out every time i wanted to quit a game thanks again you saved me hours of headache

So capitalization is important.
It was a pleasure to help you. You give me opportunities to complete the WIKI pages. Your questions and their solutions will be surely useful for other users.

Thank You..
