Pinhead Wrote:I am using XBMC RC2 and Mame 140.

I tested my copy of Mame by creating a shortcut to the app and adding a "-listfull" argument. When running the shortcut the terminal pops up and prints a list of games. I other words, listfull works as an argument with my version of Mame.

Also, regarding the "remove" button; proof that Im not going crazy:

Pinhead Wrote:Yes, Mame does return: mslug "Metal Slug - Super Vehicle-001".

Angelscry Wrote:Is it also returning the "Name: Description:" line? Could you please copy/paste the exact returned info (using the forum code tag)? Could be just some differences like TAB, white space number, quotes, string format, that create the error. Thank you.

Code:

Name:             Description:
mslug             "Metal Slug - Super Vehicle-001"

Angelscry Wrote:Yes, the Advanced Launcher support filenames and paths with spaces. But I'm not sure Nestopia and Project64 support them.

Eldorado Wrote:They do if I put some quotes around the whole path+filename

So I was assuming that the launcher does not use quotes?

Same issue with ZSNES, SNES9x.. I can duplicate the error I see by running from command line, then I simply put some quotes on and it works

eg.
Produces error:
nestopia smb:\\Games\Emulator\NES\ROMS\Final Fantasy (U).nes

Runs fine:
nestopia "smb:\\Games\Emulator\NES\ROMS\Final Fantasy (U).nes"
or
nestopia smb:\\Games\Emulator\NES\ROMS\FinalFantasy(U).nes

Eldorado Wrote:Sorry one more item I noticed - along with not being able to remove a launcher which I see you just spotted the problem

When I edit a launcher, why can't I edit ALL of the properties that come with it? Eg. location of fanart, thumbs, roms etc? I made some mistakes while playing around and couldn't easily change all of the launchers properties

here's the code i was playing with. just does a list of all roms in mame directory then takes it through a loop to try to get the rom full names..
Have not gotten it to work properly.
