Thank you for your response.
And if you can throw cmd in the future, I'm going crazy from cmd when I start the game and the first appear stupid cmd window, then the game.

Best Regards

I really like the plugin. Unfortunately, I have one anoying problem. Filtering the rom collection sometimes freezes xbmc completely. This happens quite frequently, when switching between different plattforms (especially when not all elemnts are already scanned in the main window). I am on Debian 7.1 with XBMC 12.2 and current RCB.

Is there any fix for this?

I seem to be having some trouble with multi disc games - they scan as one item and when selecting the multi-disc game a 'Please choose disc' dialog is presented but no disc numbers are shown, only a list of _Disk and no matter which disk I select the first one is always loaded.

Files are named: Final Fantasy VII_Disk1.bin etc

With RCB debugging: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=66467

I found this, but I'm not sure what the solution is? http://code.google.com/p/romcollectionbrowser/issues/detail?id=145
I've tried changing the disk prefix in RCB to _Disk* to no avail. I'm running rcb 2.0.9, xbmc 13 alpha on win7 x64.

Use eventghost to map a button on your remote/gamepad to execute a batch file to close the emulators, eg:

killapp.bat
Code:
schtasks /run /TN "unlocker xbmc log" 2>nul
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /F /IM PPSSPPWindows64.exe 2>nul
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /F /IM Fusion.exe 2>nul
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /F /IM nullDC_Win32_Release-NoTrace.exe 2>nul
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /F /IM mednafen.exe 2>nul
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /F /IM pcsxr.exe 2>nul
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /F /IM stella.exe 2>nul
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /F /IM mupen64plus-ui-console.exe 2>nul
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /F /IM 4DO.exe 2>nul
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /F /IM Dolphin.exe 2>nul
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /F /IM SSF.exe 2>nul
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /F /IM Atari800Win.exe 2>nul
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /F /IM EMU7800.Win.exe 2>nul
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /F /IM mameui64.exe 2>nul
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /F /IM mame64.exe 2>nul
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /F /IM pcsx2.exe 2>nul
Dont worry about the first line unless you get the CApplication::_create()_failed error, the you may needthis.

How are you adding your roms?

Use solo mode and have xbmc start in full screen. http://code.google.com/p/romcollectionbrowser/wiki/LaunchGames#Launch_games_in_solo_mode


Hey man, thank you so much!

Could you reccomend me which XBOX 360 controller button I could use which wouldn't interfere with any games? If I'm playing a STEAM game for example which requires that button, will it be unusable or will the game override eventghost?

Also I'm using this:
http://xbmccustomregis.sourceforge.net/remaptut.html

will using eventghost cause a conflict if i map a button to my MCE remote?

I've never mapped a button(s) on the 360 controller to quit emulators, but Ive read of people using autohotkey/etc to do so. You could take a look at how Rom-Jacket does it: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/413403/help.html I havent been able to map anything to the green x button though.
Using EG shouldnt cause any issue, especially since either xbmc or emulator will be running at one time - you could re-use a xbmc button to close your emulators.

Sorry, no. This has nothing to do with the cmd window. It is just the way the command is written to the command line.

Unfortunatley not. I already made a lot of tests and changes to this part of the program and I did not find a way to keep it from crashing. That is why you have to submit all filter changes by pressing "Enter" or "Ok". This reduced the number of crashes dramatically. Only advice I can give is to be a bit more patient before submitting new queries. Sorry.

Did you try "_Disk*." (with "." at the end)? I guess this part needs some more love, this issue pops up quite frequently...


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - teeedubb - 2013-10-07

Thanks, adding the "." at the end did the trick.


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - spoony77 - 2013-10-08

Hello there, I installed ROM collection browser and showed it a SNES ROM and it worked fine unfortunately I can't link it to my emulator (mednafen) to launch the ROM?
There seems no way to link to the correct launch file in the config wizard?
Any advice appreciated.


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2013-10-09

What system (Windows, Linux, ...) are you using? What version of XBMC and RCB are you using?

Wheny you go through the config wizard aren't you asked to browse to your emulator or don't you find it?


RE: - Isomil - 2013-10-12

Got the addon installed and the library looks great, but when I launch a game I see a command prompt show for a split second and then is closes and XBMC comes back up.

using ZSNES and Frodo


RE: - Isomil - 2013-10-12

n/m The esc emulator cmd turned to off corrected it

Zsnes probably isnt configured right in rcb. Can you launch zsnes using the parameters from rcb via a command prompt?


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - wrk13s - 2013-10-19

Hi everyone I have Frodo version 12.0 on xbuntu just want to know what game pad you all recommended. I want to get my xbmc running with this. Thanks w


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - blindmist - 2013-10-20

i have used rcb for quite a while now. i have n64 snes and nes setup. to continue the nintendo trend, i am trying to get the dolphin gc/wii emulator to work

i have found all the needed arguments to use, but for the life of me cannot get rcb to actually scrape wii games. i have never had an issue with it scraping games before.


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - wrk13s - 2013-10-21

blindmist what controller do you use ?
