I guess your emuCmd has to be something like this:

Code:

/usr/games/mednafen -fs 1 "%ROM%"

You can also pass a lot of more arguments to mednafen selecting screen resolution, sounddriver and more. Depends on your system what parameters to use.




Uhh, this won't look nice. RCB is not designed for a non-image scenario.

Additionally, your current version (0.5.4 I guess) does not really support this minimal configuration. I did not test it myself but I think you may get errors when you try to import games without a valid mediaPath in your config.xml.

If you want to try it you can go with the newest version 0.6.1 that is available at my projects site: http://romcollectionbrowser.googlecode.com/files/script.games.rom.collection.browser-0.6.1c.zip. I did not fully test it until now but all basic functions are tested and work with Camelot and Dharma. It is not available in the Repo so you have to download it manually and install it via zip file (in Dharma).

With this new version you can do a minimal configuration (will not look better than in 0.5.x but is easier to configure):

Code:

<config>        
    <Consoles>              
        <Console>
            <name>NES</name>                      
        </Console>              
    </Consoles>    
    <RomCollections>
        <RomCollection>                
            <name>NES</name>
            <consoleName>NES</consoleName>
            <emulatorCmd>/usr/games/mednafen -fs 1 "%ROM%"</emulatorCmd>                  
            <romPath>/home/user/roms/*.zip</romPath>
        </RomCollection>                
    </RomCollections>
</config>

Documentation for the new version is almost complete now. I tried to split up the configuration process. So if you have this minimal configuration up and running you can just follow the instructions to add images or game description (you still have to get them on your own).

You find the docs here: http://code.google.com/p/romcollectionbrowser/wiki/Preview#Import_games_and_media

I installed the latest DSPlayer build from here:

[DSPlayer] Lastest release: build 31520 (! 2010/06/30 !)

What else can I do?

flomaster Wrote:it opens and says databse is empty do you want to import settings now. I say yes and then get this script error

Tomkun Wrote:Should this also work with iso's of PS2 games? I have a couple on my PC that I play with PCSX2, but when I try to scan them into the database, I am getting a 'MemoryError'.

malte Wrote:Not sure what you mean.

If you are able to launch the emulator via RCB it should be the responsibility of the emu to find its ini files. RCB does not need them. But I guess I misunderstand your problem.

malte Wrote:Yes, XBMC. You can get the newest here:
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/

Looks like there is a problem with updating your database to the new version. What was your previous version and what version are you trying now?

You can go to your userdata folder "userdata/addon_data/script.games.rom.collection.browser" and delete the file MyGames.db. Then it will create a new one.

If you know the steps how you got there, please tell me. Usually RCB should alter the database structure when updating to a new version. So maybe you ran into a bug.

malte Wrote:Yes, XBMC. You can get the newest here:

Quote:So installing the newest build there won't mess up DSPlayer?

malte Wrote:Ok, sorry. Did not follow your link. Yes, I think it will.

2nd option (still using the DSPlayer build on your side):
Download the platform_libraries zip file and copy the content of the win32 folder here: "C:\Program Files\XBMC\addons\script.module.pysqlite\lib\pysqlite2". This is the path where I found the libs on my installation, not sure if it is the same on yours.

Flomaster Wrote:the new one I downloaded from your link. it was a zip file I unzipped it and placed the folder in my addons directory, I got the error.

Maconi Wrote:I did that and get the same error. I don't think XBMC knows it's there though (if I go into scripts/add-ons I don't see it there).

malte Wrote:Did you just unzip it or used XBMCs install routine (install from zip file)? Maybe this was the error. Not sure what happens if you try to install manually over an existing version.

You should delete the complete folder "script.games.rom.collection.browser" in your addon directory and install it again (via XBMCs addon installer).
