Knut Anderson Wrote:Hello Malte,
is there a way to scrape Neo Geo roms? They usually have filenames that look like the actual game names, but are a couple of letters shorter. For example Samurai Showdown is called samsho. I've tried scraping manually, but often the games aren't recognized (fatfury3 is recognized as fatal fury 1), and I can't find a solution on this forum.

For Those who use the remote control or gamepad to navigate in xbmc would be simpler.
This option may appear only for games that have savestates set.

Domina Wrote:One question, rom collection, has its own interface?
Because I was talking to MarcosQui in another forum and e-mails, and we often asked him to give support to your addon in Aeon MQ3, but it seems that it works a little different advanced launcher for exemple, in part of the interface.

malte Wrote:Yes, I could add a general option to turn savesate on/off. But configuration of savestate params still has to be done the way it is today.

Quote:Yes and no. RCB uses skin xml files and skinning structure as all other skins in XBMC. The difference between Advanced Launcher and RCB is that RCB is a script and ALA is a plugin. This means ALA uses the default views that the skins provide for their (I think) Program section. Every skin is able to launch ALA out of the box without changing one line of code. The skin just have to add a little more code to display things like game description, fanart, etc (although it will work without). RCB is a script and needs to provide its own views for everything. So if a skin wants to provide support for RCB it needs to provide the complete xml file from scratch. Thats why a lot of skinners don't add support for RCB because it is much more work than adding some lines for ALA. Additionally RCB has some features included that go away from XBMC standards.

On the other hand RCB is much more flexible with this mechanism. All things like game info view, configuration dialogs etc. are not possible in a plugin.

Here is a little guide how to start skinning RCB. It is valid for version 0.8.7 (the current in repo) but a little bit outdated for 0.9.1. The main features of 0.9.x are skinning related so I will update the guide as soon as 0.9.x is finished. Btw, in next version you will be able to select the skin independent of your XBMC skin. So you could use RCBs Night or Simplicity skin even if your default skin is Aeon MQ3. Maybe one of these is better for you than my default Confluence skin.

malte Wrote:Thanks a lot. All imported fine.

malte Wrote:Thanks. But if he really wants to start skinning RCB he should have a look at the new 0.9.1 skin files. I converted the skin files to 720p so that it will be easier to adopt for him. Also I changed some things in the code that won't work anymore if he uses the old 0.8.7 structure. I hope that 0.9.x will be ready for repo in the near future..

If he waits some more days I may also update the guide to reflect those changes.

Code:

<genre></genre>

Does it works also?

Domina Wrote:Hi malte, he said he can now see how the view modes works and has a notion of work to do already, but he wants to mess with the RCB after the final release of Aeon MQ3, because have enough work already pending for completed to 30/10/2011 and wants to do good work with rcb.
There is still time!

Is there anyway to speed up the time it takes to access the mame collection? Other emulators game sellections pop up instantly but when I try to access the mame "all" category it locks up xbmc. So i can only pull mame selections off by doing a search or breaking down the groups by genre. Is there any way to fix it so I can scroll through my full mame selection.
Also my pc is runing winows7 x64 , 4gig mem ,with 2 intel 2.7ghz dual core so I think i should have enough computer to do this
