Ok. I have found and solve this problem that was occured when you select ModyGames as data scraper. Mobygames do not have "IBM PC Compatible" game platform into its database, but "Windows". I have made the link between those 2 platforms. Because AllGame, MobyGames and GameFAQs did not have the same game platforms organisation, I need to use the gamesys file to make the correlation between the 3 databases, and it may still some mistake. This will be fixed in the next version. Thank you. Wink Here his the fixed gamesys file : http://pastebin.com/iN35cFV7

I used the Gamefaq scraper for everything. And the errors are all for the data.

And I forgot to say - great progress!

Thanks angels, I just downloaded the latest version Im gonna add an emulator, how do I add roms?

- rausch101 - 2010-12-05

420p Wrote:Thanks angels, I just downloaded the latest version Im gonna add an emulator, how do I add roms?

just press menu on the emulator and do a scan

^ that didn't work rausch, i had to manually add file >"mario kart.n64" and then scrape it all myself... althoguth theres still an errror


i click the game, it minimizes XBMC but then loads up Project 64 and says "ERROR cannot load game" do i need to put any launch options?

- HeWhoWas - 2010-12-05

I have downloaded a ridiculous amount of ROMS in anticipation for when scraping is automatedLaugh I'm not scraping over 4000 by hand!

Those errors have been fixed by the version 0.7.3. It have tested your launchers.xml file and all was working. Confirm that it is ok for you. Again... thank you for your precious feedback. You help me a lot to fix and improve the advanced launcher.

When you will create a new launcher for emulation, you will be asked to select the path where the roms are located. Then you will have to select the launcher menu then do an automatic scan to found and add the roms.

Hummm... Edit the launcher and check if you have :
  • selected the right directory for your roms
  • indicated the right rom files extensions
420p Wrote:i click the game, it minimizes XBMC but then loads up Project 64 and says "ERROR cannot load game" do i need to put any launch options?
I think it is more an error related to the configuration of the Project 64 emulator. You have to indicate the good arguments for the launcher, but sometime, you have also to edit the configuration file of the emulator to fix the right parameters. I think that Project 64 you have to indicate into its configuration file where are located the roms. I can't help you more because I'm using Mupen64Plus for Nintendo 64 emulation.

Hi, I am using RC1 and the latest version of your launcher. When I choose file launcher It opens the explorer to select launcher application, but only my D drive (blu ray) shows up.

Whats goin on?

- ECEC - 2010-12-05

@Death-Axe: below is the answer to your issue as well. For what it's worth, I just removed the disc that was in the drive and everything worked fine.

Angelscry Wrote:This bug appears when using windows version of XBMC Dharma and is related to XBMC not to the launcher itself. There is several ways to solve or bypass this problem :

1. give administrator rights to XBMC,
2. remove any CD or external drives from your system,
3. manually add sources into XBMC,
4. modify manually the launcher code.

I was coming here to ask this exact question, so thanks for already answering it. Smile

- ECEC - 2010-12-05

Sorry for the double post. How are y'all quickly getting to a game you want to launch? I realize this isn't a plugin question, but is there a way to jump to a particular letter or something? Getting to the M's is a pain.

- jpreville - 2010-12-05

ummmm. not sure how you would do that with keyboard. but if you have a remote with letters on it. i have a harmony remote. i just hit the letter and it goes to that section.
