- User 112893 - 2012-01-16
Thanks!
- Domina - 2012-01-16
Malte, have a question:
How can I add link to (search) for RCB directly from the Home Menu skin?
I ask this because I want to add a link to go straight to search for RCB in my skin to stay in the pattern of other library, see an example of this with music:
PHP Code:
<item id="50005">
<label>pesquisar</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(Musiclibrary)</onclick>
<onclick>SendClick(8)</onclick>
<icon>Home\music_search_focus.png</icon>
<thumb>Home\image_search_nofocus.png</thumb>
<visible allowhiddenfocus="true">Container(9000).HasFocus(3)</visible>
</item>
This also applies tvshows, concerts, movies and videos.
edit:
I was trying:
[HTML]<item id="50031">
<label>pesquisar</label>
<onclick>RunScript(script.games.rom.collection.browser)</onclick>
<onclick>SendClick(1100)</onclick>
<icon>Home\games_search_focus.png</icon>
<thumb>Home\games_search_nofocus.png</thumb>
<visible allowhiddenfocus="true">Container(9000).HasFocus(14)</visible>
</item>[/HTML]
but without success
Thanks!

You could try it with the version that I provide on RCBs homepage: link. This already includes the required libraries.
Should be no problem to import 7z-files. Can you show me your log file? Maybe I can see what happens during import.
Note that launching .7z games may not work on Eden-pre. There is still a problem with uncompatible 7z-libraries that I have to fix.
I have sent you a message

Has anyone gotten this to work on XBMC Live? When I try to add a rom collection, it won't let me find an emulator to use. The only folder I can browse is one network share. It won't let me brose for the emulator file anywhere else. help?

Hello, maybe a strange question, but has anyone manage to import commondore 64 roms using the Rom Collections Browser. I have tried without succes, it would be a neat thing to wathc classic C64 demos on the ATV2.
Thanks!
- Darkcloud - 2012-01-17
Did you use the right mask for the roms and do the roms have the actual names of the games? If this isn't the case it won't work. If you set RCB to scrap files even if no atwork or anything is found it will show the games with the filename and without artwork.

I am having an issue... new to XBMC...
Here is my problem... it seems for some reason it will not recognize my roms..?
Right now they are in a .zip as 3 Ninjas Kick Back # SNES
I can unzip them and they will be 3 Ninjas Kick Back # SNES.SMC
This is how I DL'd them... do I have to go in and change every file name?
I have like over 70 roms
whats wrong here? Do I need to change the path so that RCB can pick them up. After I run it keeps says failed after 10 attempts..
Not sure how to fix this.. Thanks for the help

Ok, I figured how to browse for the emulator file. I had to add a source in the file manager to my home directory, and then I could browse everything else.
Now, I'm having trouble actually importing roms. I'm trying to MAME files, but once it starts imported I get an error saying something about "not being able to import the 10 previous roms, do you want to continue". Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
- cleaner450 - 2012-01-18
Having issues as well... I think my files need to be renamed but I am a noob to XBMC so?
just wait for help from the experts...:-))

Domina Wrote:How can I add link to (search) for RCB directly from the Home Menu skin?Not sure what you want it to do. Should it just start RCB with a search mask? Or do you just want to get back search results without starting RCB? I am not sure if something like this is possible from a script. I will check when I have time again.
edit:
I was trying:
but without successCode:<onclick>RunScript(script.games.rom.collection.browser)</onclick>
<onclick>SendClick(1100)</onclick>
What happens when you try your onClick-events?
beefystripper Wrote:Hello, maybe a strange question, but has anyone manage to import commondore 64 roms using the Rom Collections Browser. I have tried without succes, it would be a neat thing to wathc classic C64 demos on the ATV2.It should work to import them and watch the videos. Not sure if you can run emulators on ATV2 and how to address them from RCB. If you have trouble with the game import please show me the xbmc.log after you tried to import the games.
cleaner450 Wrote:Here is my problem... it seems for some reason it will not recognize my roms..?So, the zip as no ending (like 3 Ninjas Kick Back # SNES.zip)? Not sure if this works but you could try to use *.* or just * as file mask.
Right now they are in a .zip as 3 Ninjas Kick Back # SNES
I can unzip them and they will be 3 Ninjas Kick Back # SNES.SMC

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?MAME import from online sources does not work atm as MAWS site is down since some weeks. Only chance to import MAME roms is to use offline game descriptions from here. Artwork for MAME roms can be found on emumovies.com. Usage with RCB is explained here (just getting artwork does not need paid subscription).

What I want is that it opens rcb and open the search.
Just as, music, movies, concerts, videos and tvshows.
This makes it possible to put a shortcut on the main menu without having to enter in rcb and search the search option inside rcb.
When I try the onclick event, open rcb, but without search.
- cleaner450 - 2012-01-19
Here is how the file looks exactly..
3 Ninjas Kick Back # SNES.SMC
why is RBC not opening these roms? Is it becuase there is a # SNES in the title?

Here you go. I am now trying to import the C64 games as well as demos (*.d64 files). The screen will stuck with message "Import Games..."
