RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - st graveyard - 2013-05-06
Hey guys,
Sorry if this is not directly related to RCB, but I have since december last year an ubuntu minimal install (no GUI), just the basics to run XBMC in 64 bit linux. This is my HTPC and I want to keep this machine as clean as possible (I have a laptop for testing - this is a WIN97 based system).
Now I'm thinking of adding my game collection using RCB. I'm a NOOB when it comes to linux.
I was wondering if I would be able to install emu's without a GUI. Just install them and use them in RCB/XBMC. Can anybosy help me in this department? I mean, maybe even a link to how to install them using the linux commands? Anyone any experience in this department? I would like to start with my Genesis collection ...
Thanks a lot for reading.

Hey everyone. I am running into issues trying to get PCSXR running in OSX Mountain Lion. Has anyone had luck getting this running?
The wiki has nothing listed about OSX.
http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=PCSX-Reloaded
I have been unable to get anything to work configuration-wise. Most of the time I will get the window to open, and then immediately close. If no luck with PCSXR, is there another PSX emulator that is recommended for OSX?? PCSX doesn't include more than very early plugins, so it's not optimal.

What language is XBMC set to? Maybe there is an issue with reading the correct strings.

Hey Malte,
Thanks for the feedback. Well, I'm really looking forward to the whole Retroarch/libretro core stuff in XBMC, but I don't want to install this on my UBUNTU machine while this is still in such an early fase.
My test machine has WIN7 (typo)
Anyway, I will try and figure the command line stuff in unix out, see how far I get ...
Cheers...

I talked about retroarch as standalone application that can be launched as any other emulator with current XBMC releases. It can easily be launched via command line but I am not sure how flawless it can be installed and configured without a gui.
Ringoko Wrote:debug log, http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=16853Maybe this was a misunderstanding. I meant XBMC debug, not RCB debug. Please enable XBMC debug logging in System/Debug menu.

In the log you should find something like this:

I too run Ubuntu minimal.
To install emulators you can either press a/ ctl-alt-Fx to switch to a text based login, or b/ SSH to your machine - your XBMC box will need to have ssh installed.
Now find the emulator you want to install. Ubuntu uses the Debian package manager, so use aptitude search, then the emulator name:
e.g.
$ aptitude search snes
p snes9x-x - X binaries for snes9x - Super NES emulator
p zsnes - Emulator of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System ™
You can install packages by substituting search for install.
If you can't find the emulator you're looking for then you might find a PPA repository you can add:
e.g.
https://launchpad.net/~hunter-kaller/+archive/ppa hosts an Ubuntu packaged version of bsnes
Or, check the official webpage's download section, they sometimes have .deb packages too. Other wise, there'll likely be a source tarball (I'm not going in to that).
Once you have your emulator installed, use whereis and the emulator name to locate the binary; needed for adding collections.
Getting to the emulators UI is another challenge
I usually find once a game is launched the UI is available by an appropriate keypress.Let me know if that's helpful, or if you need any thing else - I don't mind breaking parts down, and was going for an overview first.
p.s. sorry for hi-jacking your thread, malte, on something not entirely RCB

MAME
How to add MAME roms with offline game descriptions
I have successfully scraped a ROM, but don't have local artwork. Is there a Linux alternative to the packaged used to download art?
It's also not launching games, if some one can help me by checking the log it would be appreciated
http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=17154
Additionally, I have just noticed that there are thousands of these (of different game names) is xbmc.log, and they're stopping me launching RCB. Is there a way to stop this behaviour?
May 9 01:12:06 tag_xbmc_log: 01:12:06 T:2780244800 NOTICE: RCB_INFO: searching for Key: buster

Scummvm
I would like to add my ScummVm ROM collection scraped with RCB, but have not been successful. Has any one done this?
http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=ScummVM#Linux
Steam
Lastly, I have the Steam client working, but is there a way to launch Steam games, without the Steam UI?

I now have installed GENS for genesis emulation using this command :
sudo aptitude install gens
But I'm now wondering, where is it installed? Which directory? How do I start it? If I don't know the dir, how can I use it in RCB?

My attempts so far have resulted in 0 games imported.

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Necromancyr - 2013-05-11
I'm having some issues around videos - basically just getting a black area where the video should be. The files I have are just AVI (DivX5 video, MP3 audio) - not from emumovies i don't think.
Nothing seems to play. I have the autoplay setting on and still nothing. If I hit play on a game, it plays the video full screen and when I exit it continues to play on the browse screen, but it's all screwed up (no items selected, just the video showing, shifts back to start of the list, etc.)
Any help would be appreciated - or, at the least, how to make it just show a screenshot and completely remove the non-playing video black screen.
(Unrelated - is there a way to use RCB with ScummVM? Turning up next to nothing in searches and it would be GREAT if it did work...)
