Thanks! RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - geopgin - 2015-02-25 Okay, so on my 9th collection I stumbled on upon a couple of what I believe are issues. First when you import (online/default) a collection (psx) that have multiple disc (bin/cue) . All games are imported but the the "disk indicator" needs to be changed to identify properly the games with multiple discs. when I change it to /(disc/s/d/) and then re-import its does'nt identify the games. I have re-imported(dif setting),rescraped, cleaned db, restarted nothing seems to picked what wasn't already picked up on the original scan. This isn't a huge deal cause there are several workarounds first you can create collections with single game, then modify the "disk indicator" and reimport or i think modifying the config.py to the appropriate regex for the disk indicator (haven't tested this though). Next I ended zipping all the roms...which works but when i use disk indicator with regex "\(disc\s\d\)*\.cue" (no qoutes). It picks up all the files in the zip and prompts with a menu showing all the bins and cues. I tried moving all the roms out of the folder then cleaning the DB and restarting, collection still there. I still haven't figured a workaround for this...maybe my regex is just shitty, i don't know. Finally the piece that I can't get past right now. Is I can't delete the collection. Both "Rom Collection" and "Removal Options" are blank 11:38:18 T:7292 NOTICE: RCB_INFO: init ContextMenu 11:38:18 T:7292 NOTICE: RCB_INFO: onInit ContextMenu 11:38:18 T:7292 ERROR: EXCEPTION: 'platforms' is an invalid Id 11:38:18 T:7292 NOTICE: RCB_WARNING: Error while reading platforms from addon.

Do you mean a new collection (new platform) or additional roms to an existing collection? Either way you need to go through the context menu (c on keyboard or right click) from withing rcb If existing collection place the roms in the existing directory, then through the rcb context menu click import. If new collection, through the rcb context menu click add new rom collection and go through the wizard Hope that helps RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Reb313 - 2015-02-25 (2015-02-25, 19:06)geopgin Wrote:Awesome, thanks!(2015-02-25, 18:53)Reb313 Wrote: Sorry, maybe I'm just overlooking this horribly, but how do I add more roms/emulators after already having some?

RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2015-02-26 nalias Wrote:Thats right, when there is various versions of things, then they are a folder insideDoes it work for you when you have your files on top level of the zip? How did you get these zips? Are you creating them manually or is there a tool that does it this way? Ofc, I could change the code and walk into the zip file. But this would also require to modify the rom selection dialog because you will need to represent the folder structure of the zip in the dialog. I guess this is too much work atm. geopgin Wrote:I'm preparing my content for a FireTV so I'm trying to get my content together and as clean as possible. I'm currently using win7, and plan on using a usb hd for all my content. Would it be a better idea to config rcb as below for the best results?This could work. But you have to make sure that the path to your roms (and artwork) is exactly the same on FireTV and on your Win PC. You could also just copy/paste your config.xml. You just need to replace the emulatorCmd and -params. Everything else should work. geopgin Wrote:First when you import (online/default) a collection (psx) that have multiple disc (bin/cue) .

I did not want to overload the basic setup with special stuff like disc indicators and things like this. Maybe I could add an option to switch to full settings dialog before importing games. Btw you don't need to import a single game to create your configuration. Just add your config and select "Cancel" in Import dialog. This will add your config and you can make changes before importing. geopgin Wrote:Next I ended zipping all the roms...which works but when i use disk indicator with regex "\(disc\s\d\)*\.cue" (no qoutes).

I still haven't figured a workaround for this...maybe my regex is just shitty, i don't know.Maybe you misunderstand this feature. If you have .bin and .cue files for one game you will only need one of them imported into RCBs database (e.g. file mask = *.bin). This one will be used to launch the game. The other one just needs to be placed next to the first one and is only required by the emulator (afaik). The disc indicator is used for games that have more than one playable disc (disc_1.bin, disc_2.bin). geopgin Wrote:Finally the piece that I can't get past right now. Is I can't delete the collection.

As a workaround you could use a gotham build to fix it or you have to change it manually in "script-RCB-removeRC.xml". Change all occurances of "<posx>570</posx>" to "<posx>220</posx>".

The disc indicator is used for games that have more than one playable disc (disc_1.bin, disc_2.bin). little more detail around my setup and experience. My games, whether they have 1 or more discs are zipped up. see example. Code: game1.zip if i put the file mask to *.cue, it doesn't pick up the games so i have to put the file mask to to *.zip. I guess what the disk indicator feature doesn't do is parse whats in the zip and just the zip itself? I'll probably just unzip all, it leaves the dir a bit ugly but space is cheap.
