- htpc guy - 2010-12-27 Angelscry Wrote:No... Advanced Launcher add-on is only a launcher not a roms of file manager. So Advanced Launcher will NEVER rename any rom files. If you need an add-on to manage your roms use Rom Collection Browser add-on. Sorry, I think there is a misunderstanding. I was trying to give daviduco some info on why his roms could be importing without thumbs or fanart after being scraped. I'm just saying that some of my roms were named incorrectly and I manually changed the file names so they could be identified and loaded correctly with fanart and thumbs. - Angelscry - 2010-12-27 Ryoga79 Wrote:What i'd like to do is create a subcategory for PC games that scrapes automatically. Since i have games installed in various places across various distros (steam, gfw live, GOG, etc), i found the easiest way to consolidate launching them was to create a single directory with batch files that point to the game executables. That way, all the "launchers" are in one place. Given that there's no "emulator" to launch the batchfiles, is there a way i can create a subcategory for PC games? Right now the way they show up in my list is as individual, single-executable launchers, so i have a list of 25 or so PC games, with "NES" in the middle of it that leads to a submenu for NES games. Is there a way i can group the PC games like the NES games are? Ryoga79 Wrote:In addition to that, is there a way i can create a "dummy" emulator for the PC games, to recognize *.BAT as "roms"? That way i can set it up to auto-scrape my batchfiles directory to catch any new PC games that i add.You just have to create a script or a BAT file that will start your other .BAT file. You will found more details here. - Angelscry - 2010-12-27 htpc guy Wrote:Sorry, I think there is a misunderstanding.

The arguments will now use the %rom%, %romfile% or %romname% variables. The goal of this change is to improve the compatibilty between the Advanced Launcher and the emulator but also the homogenize the command line syntax between the emulator based XBMC add-ons (ALA, RCB and probably Emulatopia ).
Code: --opengl=MODE --fullscreen -f 15 --no-show-speed Code: --opengl=MODE --fullscreen -f 15 --no-show-speed "%rom%" Code: -m -s -v 22 Code: -m -s -v 22 "%rom%" Empty argument will need to be changed to Code: "%rom%" In parallel a wiki page have just been created to help you to configure your emulators and the advanced launcher add-on to works both together. http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php This wike page is not complete actually but I will work on it in the next days. You can also contribute to its completion by registering to the wiki page and write your proper guide, tips, help. ChangeLog :

Can anybody point me in the right direction? :/ I... • installed zsnes via sudo install apt-get zsnes • added Advanced-Launcher-Add-On When I start the Advaned Launcher, I have to choose the "launcher type". After choosing "file launcher" I have to specify a folder. The only folders available are my two folders "Filme" and "Serien" (/media/). I guess, I should point to zsnes, but how...? I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS - XBMCLive Dharma and have not the slightest idea... - fr500 - 2010-12-28 fr500 Wrote:I think you should make it so that if can't find the default thumbnail name it starts on an specified folder when looking for thumbs, that way you won't need to browse to say D:\launchers\thumbs or whatever it will always start there, then the user will have to select the appropiate file. After the newest update It always asks for a fanart directory/ thumbnail directory even if it's not a file launcher. This behavior is unnecesary for PC games because you're not really scraping many files at a time, Having a global folder to start searching for fanart/thumbs on PC games would be better [WINDOWS] Virtual Drive Locked as Only Browsable Volume in Advanced Launcher? - newmy51 - 2010-12-28 Windows XP Media Center SP3 32-bit Toshiba Satellite A105 S4084 Intel Pentium M T2050 1.6 GHz Dual Core 3GB PC5300 DDR2-SDRAM XBMC 10.0 Dharma Screenshot kind of says it all. Virtual drives or none, why xbmc should be unable to browse elsewhere I haven't the foggiest. I had a run with xbmc back in the xecutor days, but only a brief one. This being a pretty new (and beautiful) dashboard, I'm starting from square one as far as comprehension goes. Any and all help greatly appreciated. -newmy51 |
