It must be now %rom% and not anymore "%rom%": http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=File_shortcuts Thx Angelscry for your help, it's working now. I have another problem but maybe it will be someone else who have the answer: In my PC games directory I have 3 LNK, for Deus EX, Modern warfare 2 and for Mirror's edge, " games start without problem but not Mirror's edge, it crashs immedatly. I precise that if I start the game directly with the LNK, it runs well. Thanks for your helps guys. - Angelscry - 2011-09-06 fablog Wrote:Thx Angelscry for your help, it's working now.It did not sound good. Seems that due to a compatibility problems :

Yes, the same crash so it's seems there is an uncompatibility between XBMC and Mirror's edge. - BrutalBrock - 2011-09-06 PatrickBateman Wrote:Hey folks, I'm experiencing the same problems as Patrick here. I'm on a windows xbmc machine, running 10.1 Dharma build and the alaska revisited skin. I've used the wiki and the install instructions supplied in the first post; still experiencing problems. I've searched 30+ pages back to see if anyone else has experienced the same problem. I'm still relatively new to XBMC, but after following this thread the dev seems to provide great support here. I just tried a super nes emu, zsnes, the version is the same as provided in the advanced launcher compatible emu's located in the wiki. I couldn't locate what launcher.xml file you are looking for, i've searched for this too. Is it located in documents and settings/application data/xbmc? I do have a pastebin for a file located in the parent dir of that folder, named xbmc.log. It's located here: http://pastebin.com/mDVTd7tx If this isn't it, could you provide me where to locate the file? i've checked the addon folder in the same dir for advanced launcher and didn't see the launcher.xml. Sorry for the long post/question. Thanks for your help. - Angelscry - 2011-09-06 fablog Wrote:Yes, the same crash so it's seems there is an uncompatibility between XBMC and Mirror's edge.You still have the alternative to create a .bat script that will close XBMC before starting Mirror's Edge, and then will restart XBMC when Mirror's Edge will be closed : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=6 It could also be linked to a windows users rights problem. I have already encounter such kind of problem with Boxee application : not able to start Boxee from XBMC. If have fixed this problem using this following method : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=25 Maybe, it will also work for Mirror's Edge. - Angelscry - 2011-09-06 BrutalBrock Wrote:I'm experiencing the same problems as Patrick here.

Do you have open it or edit it using a text or a xml editor? - Deano316 - 2011-09-06 Not sure if this is possible. I'm using Aeon Nox on Vista currently and use Advanced Launcher to activate Hyperspin through XBMC. Everything works fine except that when you activate/deactivate Hyperspin there is a few seconds where you can see the desktop. Do you know any way of eliminating this? Great work on the Launcher by the way, from what I've seen it's a very versatile app!! - Angelscry - 2011-09-06 Deano316 Wrote:Not sure if this is possible.

Great work on the Launcher by the way, from what I've seen it's a very versatile app!!That's not a really easy thing to do. It is mostly related, firstly, to the power of your computer to start an application and secondly to the time an application takes to focus into fullscreen windows. That's not really constant or parameters we can control easily. I think, it might be possible to use AutoIt to make a transition screen script :
You can also try to make a script that will turn off/turn on your monitor instead of using a black fullscreen image. You can also try to turn your Windows Desktop into a pseudo transition screen : select a black wallpaper, hide all the icons and the taskbar. - phear - 2011-09-06 woop more newbie questions. Where do i save a trailer for a game to make it load. also what format should the file be. Thanks again - Angelscry - 2011-09-06 phear Wrote:woop more newbie questions.Trailers display is actually managed by skins, so it depend the skin you are using. Here is for example how use extra-media (extra-thumbs, extra-fanarts and trailers) for the Cirrus Extended 2 skin : "... the trailer video will be named trailer.mp4 and must be placed into the dedicated extra media folder of the game...". http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=341#p341 - phear - 2011-09-06 I am using night purity just now |
