rbrohman Wrote:From your example, would you get all three Super Mario Kart roms consolidated to a single entry in AL? That sounds very useful. But wouldn't I still have the same issue with the scraped content - in that I'd have to manually select the US images? Does having the three versions consolidated change the search criteria when AL scrapes?

Angelscry Wrote:This new version of the Advanced Launcher bring the support for MAME roms with MAWS data and images scrapers. Because MAME roms files cannot be renamed as for the other game emulators, the MAWS scrapers use the rom filename for the search instead of the rom title name.

i was update to 0.8.2 and i cant run my old launcher (root) so i was delete old files config and launchers and make new. There are same thing.

AL 0.8.2
XBMC D RC2
Repo 1.2.0



what doing

Code:

Clean Game Titles (Remove version infos)

because i have problem with translate this. Its cleaning infos who is get by scrapers?

polish translation file r114
http://www.mediafire.com/?x9wexjs1cvfec33

Rob Loach Wrote:"Get Info" does ask for which region to use though (US, JP, etc) as it searches for the straight title of the cartridge, without the region in it.

Robert de Clair Wrote:did you think about kind of favorites mark in rom database?

Robert de Clair Wrote:If you're still looking for potential scrapers, Games Database might be a good candidate:

Robert de Clair Wrote:@Rob Loach but a favourites in main XBMC isnt what i mean
i think about a kind of folder in AL with favourites games it could be just kind of shortcuts but in LA not in main menu, because fav games could be 100-200 from few thousands of titles.

Angelscry Wrote:Yes I have already think about it. But I don't think I will add this kind of functionality. The goal of the ALA is to launch applications not to manage games. If you have thousands of roms, but only play with 10-20 on them... just put those 10-20 games into the launcher. And for those you really play a lot, add them as favorite into XBMC.

rbrohman Wrote:Games differ from movies, TV, etc in that you typically spend a bunch of time on a small handful of games before moving on to new ones. I think it would be really useful to have a sort of "dashboard" or home screen within ALA that gives you quick access to a small subset of games across a number of different systems.

rbrohman Wrote:You could even expand upon this by allowing the creation of user created "collections". For example, I play games with my kids. It would be hugely useful if I could build a "collection" of good kids games, or good 2-player games. From ALA's dashboard, you could drill into these collections and launch games from multiple systems.

rbrohman Wrote:But stuff like this would definitely take ALA from being a launcher to being a rom/games manager. So if that's not where you see this heading, I understand.

Angelscry Wrote:Yes I want to keep ALA as a simple application launcher and do not want it manage roms and limit it only to games.

rausch101 Wrote:I think it is good to hold your ground on this.

There have been so many attempts at a games database/games launcher and they've all fizzled out due to the daunting requirements and endless feature requests. It's important for people to understand that this is not your full time job! Priority is definitely a fully function mostly bug-free core.

Robert de Clair Wrote:Angelscry did you check my translation to r114?
As i look all new strings are translated :/ im confused because there are still errors even with this translation.
With English translation everything seems to be ok

U have kind of debug to say me which string is reason of error?
