Edit: same thing happens in Windows so this isn't platform specific.

The same here (windows), but,in a second try, some games get error again, some not.....strange....

Somebody..., help!?

me TOO. QUITE FRUSTRATING


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Slipass - 2015-08-05

I had the same issue.
I must delete all my config and reconfig it. Thats solved my problem.


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Soujirou Seta - 2015-08-06

Anyone can run "ñulldc" properly? I only get main screen emulator from kodi, not game properly...., any help are welcome.

(This tread have many and many pages..., and now...are gone...abandonedHuh?)

The same tip I'd give for any emulator, basically: check if nullDC requires a command line argument to run a game on launch and add it to the emulator arguments in RCB.

RCB hasn't been updated in a year Confused I don't think this will get fixed any time soon.

I know it is old post but still relevant.

Work in progress but it is usable...

Half a year to be fair Smile

I am afraid I won't be able to work on RCB before October again. But I hope that I can do some bug fixes and updates at the the end of the year.


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - brando56894 - 2015-08-14

Good to know it's not dead! I would love to get this to work on my Shield TV because then it would be the ultimate entertainment device.


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Zpectre87 - 2015-08-16

Is there a list of compatible skins? I know of Confluence, Aeon Nox and Aeon MQ6, but there may be more.


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - zeebee - 2015-08-17

Does anyone know if I can stop/start lightdm in kodibuntu when launching a game from RCB? I tried it like I can do it from the console:

Code:
service lightdm stop
sleep 1
$ADDON_DIR/bin/retroarch -c $ADDON_FILES/retroarch.cfg $EXTRAFLAG -L $ADDON_CORES/$1_libretro.so "$2" > $ADDON_FILES/retroarch-lastrun.log 2>&1
service lightdm start

The game itself starts, but no change to lightdm. A "sudo" before the command doesnt help either. After I quit the game RCB and keyboard dont work anymore. Only if i restart lightdm.

Any help is kindly appreciated Angel

Regards
zeebee


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - gregfrankenstein - 2015-08-18

Is there no way to disable the metadata scraper entirely? I don't really need it and it causes more issues than it's worth. Half the time Kodi crashes or my entire X windows freezes because it's trying to find impeccable box art. I just want to select a directory and say, "Hey, open .zip files with MAME and .sfc files with mednafen."

For Nintendo 64 games i used mupen64plus:

Code:
-f -L "/usr/lib/libretro/mupen64plus_libretro.so" "%rom%"

Can't imagine it would be much different if you really want to use jaguar64.. don't have that one on my system so can't tell you for sure.


RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Orochi77 - 2015-08-20

I am on Windows and recently upgraded from Gotham to Kodi Isengard.
For some reason the context menu is missing from Rom Collection Browser ( on default skin too).

malte, Is Rom Collection Browser compatible with Kodi 15.1?
If so, how can one return the context menu or is there a workaround?

Thanks
