Here is the difference between standalone and files launchers : http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-advanced-launcher/wiki/LaunchersCreation. from the link that you gave Quote:Select the File launcher (e.g. game emulator) option. the problem is, im running windows game, not emulator. how do i set the file launcher? i think i did mention im running games that i installed(which naturally means windows games.) Quote: i have hundreds of games installedi did. or you did tell me to use file launcher to launch windows games. if so, what is the correct step. i did try but there are few options i dont know what to put. - Angelscry - 2011-03-06 Death-Axe Wrote:Can you make it possible to add more than one item with the same name? or sequel even...Yes I understand. Content of the launchers.xml file is send by Advanced Launcher to XBMC (for item display) using an array. Items of this array are actaully differentiated using there title. So if you have 2 items with the same title into your launchers.xml file, it will be displayed as the same item into XBMC. I will try to found a way to fix this. Maybe adding an ID number to each item will solve the problem. Death-Axe Wrote:Second is aero the acrobat. I can add both (auto scan only picks up aero the acrobat 2... what the... so I had to manually add it) so once both are on the list, going to manually scan for the game cover.... it's not letting me set a cover for each. Setting the cover for the first game also sets the same cover for the second.Ok... here seems that there is a problem when Advanced Launcher use the rom filename to save the thumb image. Could you please post here the part of your launchers.xml file corresponding to your aero the acrobat items? Thank you. Death-Axe Wrote:Great addon, but allot of things broken.If nobody report me that they are broken, I cannot fix them... - Angelscry - 2011-03-06 publicENEMY Wrote:from the link that you gaveFirst step is to read the instruction and the wiki pages : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=Main_Page Here are the instruction to start windows games using .lnk shortcuts : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=File_shortcuts The idea is to put all the .lnk file into the same folder and use them like roms files. Then when you will scan this folder, Advanced Launcher will automatically add them and download metadata from internet sources. Just be sur to name your .lnk file close as possible as the game title (it will eas the auto-scraping). - atsumori - 2011-03-07 Hi Angelscry, this is a continuation from my post in this thread (problem getting Advanced Launcher back into full screen after quitting a game): http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=95547 and here is the pastebin for my launchers.xml file: http://pastebin.com/ybzEDt72 My args are "-s -v 26 "%rom%"" because I like to have access to the menu (though I've tried without and that also didn't work. - Angelscry - 2011-03-07 I just read this on the other thread... atsumori Wrote:Also, I'm using Direct full-screen not full-screen in a window.To fully use Advanced Launcher under Windows operating system, you will MUST activate the Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen option into XBMC system settings. If it still not working, you can try to use the video mode 25 instead of 26 : -s -v 25 "%rom%". Also be sure that XBMC, Windows desktop and ZSNES screen resolutions are the same... It will avoid to the screen to switch between different resolutions whent starting ZSNESW and may help. - john.doe - 2011-03-07 atsumori Wrote:this is a continuation from my post in this thread (problem getting Advanced Launcher back into full screen after quitting a game): If you want to use XBMC True full screen, you can use a script which "minimize" XBMC to launch an application and then "restore" XBMC quit. Example Script External Autolt: If $CmdLine[0] == 1 Then WinSetState("XBMC", "", @SW_MINIMIZE) RunWait ("pssuspend XBMC.exe", "", @SW_HIDE) RunWait ('"C:\Emulators\Fusion\Fusion.exe" -gen -fullscreen "' & $CmdLine[1] & '"', "", @SW_HIDE) RunWait ("pssuspend -r XBMC.exe", "", @SW_HIDE) WinSetState("XBMC", "", @SW_RESTORE) EndIf Exit 0 Attention, I'm not a programmer, it can be improved. It works for me on Windows XP. - moosenoz - 2011-03-07 by following the wiki i was able to setup a few emulators and load a few games. i'm now at the stage that i need to setup a gamepad. are gamepads suppose to work out of the box? right now i'm trying to setup a cordless logitech rumble pad 2 with mednafen. is there any documentation that will walk me through the process of setting up a controller? i assume i have to reconfigure my mednafen.cfg file to map my buttons but i can't figure out what needs to be changed appreciate any help you can give me - HenryFord - 2011-03-07 AL is not supposed to inject some sort of controller-support in any emulator - how should that even work? No - what you are looking for is either a) help on the right board - ask the mednafen-community, they can help you out. b) a piece of software which lets you map the controller to keyboard-buttons, such as pinnacle game profiler (http://pinnaclegameprofiler.com/). Anyhow - I have a problem. Obviously the AL-Plugin got updated, since then I am unable to scrape any data on "IBM PC Compatible"-Platform-Titles. Anything else I didn't test, but AL just tells me "No data" and nothing is coming up. I tested this also on previously working titles which were recognized by AL in the first place. Now the scraper does not find anything... Any suggestions? - john.doe - 2011-03-07 Hello Angelscy, I have a problem: I would like to use this basis for most of my launcher : pssuspend XBMC.exe cd C:\Emulators\Fusion Fusion.exe -gen -fullscreen %1 pssuspend -r XBMC.exe But every first launch an application, XBMC and application freeze them both. I can close the application, either by clicking the Windows key and then right click on the toolbar spots and then close the application, or from the task manager. (causing an error in the 2 cases) Once closed I can return to XBMC then launch a new application without which no freezes. I tried putting a pause before and just after PsSuspend, launch apps in windowed mode, but it does not help. Would you have any idea what it could be? If I remove the controls PsSuspend, it no longer freezes but ... In case, I still have a workaround by minimizing XBMC. As you can see the pitcher posted earlier. Do not bother if it's a unique case. - Angelscry - 2011-03-07 john.doe Wrote:Hello Angelscy, I have a problem:If XBMC and your application cannot run at the same time (because for example using the same graphic ressources) instead of suspend XBMC you can also close it using the pskill command: Code: pskill -t XBMC.exe - Angelscry - 2011-03-07 moosenoz Wrote:by following the wiki i was able to setup a few emulators and load a few games. i'm now at the stage that i need to setup a gamepad. are gamepads suppose to work out of the box? right now i'm trying to setup a cordless logitech rumble pad 2 with mednafen. is there any documentation that will walk me through the process of setting up a controller? i assume i have to reconfigure my mednafen.cfg file to map my buttons but i can't figure out what needs to be changedFor specific controllers configuration for started application and emulators, the best way is to ask on the application and emulator dedicated websites and forum. Advanced launcher is just for starting applications using command line. - Angelscry - 2011-03-07 HenryFord Wrote:Anyhow - I have a problem.

Please, post here the part of your launchers.xml file corresponding to the launcher and the items that cause the problem. It will help us to reproduce your problem and found more quickly the solution - john.doe - 2011-03-07 Angelscry Wrote:If XBMC and your application cannot run at the same time (because for example using the same graphic ressources) instead of suspend XBMC you can also close it using the pskill command: It's just the first launch of an application that it then blocks all they throw well. eg if I turn off the computer and then I turn back, the first time I run an application it crashes and then I close it with Task Manager, and then every applications starts fine.it is as if PsSuspend suspended XBMC and also the program is launched.(but only the first time). C'est juste au premier lancement d'une application que ça bloque, ensuite elles se lancent toutes bien . par exemple si j'éteins l'ordi, puis je le rallume, la première fois que je lance une application elle bloque puis je la ferme avec le gestionnaire des taches, et ensuite toutes les applications démarrent bien. c'est comme si pssuspend suspendait XBMC et aussi le programme qui est lancé (mais seulement la première fois). - Angelscry - 2011-03-07 john.doe Wrote:It's just the first launch of an application that it then blocks all they throw well.Ho... ok... strange. I will try to look at it. Which version of XBMC are you using ?? - john.doe - 2011-03-07 Of the Xbmc Passion and I updated the software with XBMC Update. Celle de Xbmc Passion et je l'ai mise à jour avec le logiciel XBMC Update. Celle-cihttp://passion-xbmc.org/downloads/?cat=30 et mise à jour. |
