- smithr99 - 2010-12-06 another feature request for you ...! if possible in the future can you look at maybe using a mysql db to host all the content (eg rom name, image location, file location etc etc) for those of us using a mysql db for our music and vids it would be nice to have a central repository for emus as well many thanks - scalpel - 2010-12-06 Youre right. Here is translation with added missed strings. http://www.speedyshare.com/files/25560582/Polish-translation-advLauncher.zip Regards - Angelscry - 2010-12-06 smithr99 Wrote:another feature request for you ...!What is the main advantage to use a mysql database instead of an xml file? Speed ? Because my experience with the musics and videos database under XBMC is that you cannot modify them easily. A xml file you just have to open it with a text editor to modify/fix it. - Angelscry - 2010-12-06 scalpel Wrote:Youre right. Here is translation with added missed strings.Thank you for the translation. I will add it on the google code page. - Pinhead - 2010-12-06 The changelog says version 0.7.4 features name conversion for Mame. How does this work? I have a launcher added for Mame, but I cant figure out how to use the conversion feature. Launcher platform is set to Arcade, and I am using MameUI64. Ive tried adding the launcher again too, but it just does its usual thing; searching (mostly) bogus game titles. - Angelscry - 2010-12-06 Pinhead Wrote:The changelog says version 0.7.4 features name conversion for Mame.

Ive tried adding the launcher again too, but it just does its usual thing; searching (mostly) bogus game titles.When you scan for new files, the launcher make a test on the application name. If it contain the word "mame" then the launcher start the application with command line argument (-listfull) and get the rom name from the returned code then store it into the launchers.xml file. Finally this is this name which is used next by the scraper. http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-advanced-launcher/source/browse/trunk/plugin.program.advanced.launcher/resources/lib/emulators.py But it may still have some bugs. Is MameUI64 support the -listfull arguments? What it the exact name of the MameUI64 executable file? - Pinhead - 2010-12-06 Angelscry Wrote:When you scan for new files, the launcher make a test on the application name.

Finally this is this name which is used next by the scraper. http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-advanced-launcher/source/browse/trunk/plugin.program.advanced.launcher/resources/lib/emulators.py The name of the executable is "MameUI64.exe". I dont know of MameUI supports -listfull. I tried running "MameUI64.exe -listfull"; the program launched and returned "Error: Unknown option: -". I dont know if that means it doesnt support -listfull, but I suppose it might... I suppose it could just use the regular version. I just like a nice frontend... - Pinhead - 2010-12-06 Okay, I installed regular Mame, set everything up, and when I hit the button to scan for new files I got this error: Code: 19:55:25 T:5600 M:2285027328 ERROR: Error Type: exceptions.IndexError - Angelscry - 2010-12-06 Pinhead Wrote:Okay, I installed regular Mame, set everything up, and when I hit the button to scan for new files I got this error:Arffff... ok. MAME software and -listfull argument seems recognized but the returned value not. I have hoped that it will be working with no problem under Windows. But it is not so easy. I will have to install all this (windows+XBMC+Mame) on my computer and make further tests or found another way to do it.So, sorry... not MAME support yet - ECEC - 2010-12-06 rausch101 Wrote:google is your friend Thanks! How are people handling 7zipped files? I guess they're "GoodMerged" or some such nonsense. I'm setting up Project64 and noticed it doesn't support them, so I'm extracting out all of the actual files I want and just using those. That's fine, since there's only 10 total games, but for the NES stuff there's going to be a LOT more. - mandark - 2010-12-06 users of the advanced launcher might be interested in my views for the Xperience-Skin. the modification and screenshots can be found here. - Pinhead - 2010-12-06 Angelscry Wrote:Arffff... ok.

Still, I really appreciate you taking the time to implement this so early on. I've had my fingers crossed for this feature. Thanks for the work you're putting in to the AddOn! - Angelscry - 2010-12-06 mandark Wrote:users of the advanced launcher might be interested in my views for the Xperience-Skin. the modification and screenshots can be found here.Woaaaooo... Great rendering. Great job!!! I will test it this evening. Can I add one of your screenshots with a link to your thread on the first post of this thread? It will be great for users to know that they have the possibility to use several skins. Thank you. - mandark - 2010-12-06 Angelscry Wrote:Woaaaooo... Great rendering. Great job!!!

PS: many many thanks for your continuing development of the launcher-addon! - ECEC - 2010-12-06 @rausch101: Mind sharing how you have Project64 configured? Right now I'm running it and I get display corruption with all of the default plugins. I vaguely remember downloading a different plugin back when I messed with this last (like, 4 years ago) but I don't remember what it was. Googling brings up a lot of old, old material. |
