Dondi Wrote:My PSX ROM set is a ReDump set which are .7z files with .cue & .bin files inside (sometimes multiple .bin files). When I go to launch one, I get a second RCB dialog box (just like my 3DO set) asking me to select one of the files in the .7z archive. I think Im supposed to select the .cue. When I do, nothing much happens after that. A DOS dialog box it displayed. There seems to be a long time before focus comes back to RCB and whichever file I choose in the secondary RCB dialog box, gets extracted into the RCB tmp folder. Shouldn't all the files be sent to the tmp folder and the .cue be passed to RetroArch?

I did not yet test this scenario. I will do and report back.

Dondi Wrote:Am I doing something wrong like not following/understanding what you wrote here:

In RetroPlayer you can have several gameclients (cores) for the same platform (e.g. for SNES you have bsnes, snes9x, snes9x-next, ...). If you download all of them, RetroPlayer will ask you which gameclient to use every time you launch a game. With the "<gameclient>"-setting in config.xml you can force RetroPlayer always to use the specified gameclient. One day you may notice that game A does not run well with your default gameclient but all others do. So you can highlight this one game in RCB, select "Edit Game Command" and choose the preferred gameclient. From now on this one game will be launched with another gameclient than all others.

When I try to launch a genesis rom in rom collection browser, it launches to a black screen (fullscreen) with only sound (no video). In messing around once or twice, I was able to then use alt-enter to switch Gens back to windowed mode, where the video started working again. I then went into the configuration and found that gens did not remember any of my configuration settings (resolution, key bindings, etc). I think for some reason RCB is launching it with the default settings, and the fullscreen default settings did not work for me.

In the rom collection browser addon, I've tried changing the popen and "launch in solo mode" settings to all the combinations possible, but no luck. I am using the default launch parameters "%ROM%"

Is there something I need to do so that Gens remembers its configuration settings when R.C.B. launches it with a rom? If I manually drag and drop a ROM onto the gens.exe file, it *does* remember my settings and so it works fine - launches full screen with my correct key bindings etc.


(I understand how to set everything up in R.C.B. in general and already have n64 (project 64) and snes (zsnes) working correctly launching from rom collection browser in XBMC.)

Thanks, that link was very helpful. I ended up switching to kega fusion instead of gens. The launch paramaters / arguments listed at that link are very helpful. For kega I also had to turn off popen and use solo mode I believe.

Retroarch sounds interesting, but it sounds like it may have been more work to set up than I wanted. I could be wrong since I haven't ever tried to get it working, but I just wanted to finish getting Genesis roms working since I already had the other systems working well. As far as I understand, you have to use retroarch along with other emulators? Or do you just install retroarch and it comes with the ability to load all roms?

Code:

Code:

If I quit RCB and then go back into it I can successfully launch ROMs again. I'm using XBMC Frodo on Windows 7 (x64). Thoughts?

Ryoga79 Wrote:Hi all, i'm using the script so far to great success, there's just two minor questions i have that i wasn't able to find when poking around the thread and the plugin itself, ones that you guys can probably answer very quickly:

1) Is it possible to "mark game as finished" like in advanced launcher? (Using nox 4.0 skin)

2) Is it possible to sort by alpha and ignore the "The" at the beginning of a title?

You can use RetroArch-Phoenix.exe to configure each core and save the config. With the -c you can specify which config to pass to the core on a per-platform/console basis. So, if you have a particular "special" configuration for your video and/or audio settings for a particular platform/core (i.e., GameBoy Color), you would set up a GameBoyColor.cfg file using retroarch-phoenix.exe with your special settings and pass -c "Path\to\my\Retroarch\ConfigFolder\GameBoyColor.cfg" with the rest of the traditional commandline params (-f -D -L libretro-git-gambatte-x86_64.dll "%ROM%").
