I can appreciate that. I think this might be an audio pass-through thing (maybe). It just seems quite fundamental, and exists only with emulators; so right that it's not ALA per-say, but I think this might be a good place to post, given the audience. I did have this working in RCB, but wanted to try ALA, so I'm wondering if there is a difference in handling audio. It could be some recent auto-software update .. maybe.

Maybe -s or -v 22 may possibly be sound or volume. I shall edit once it has done loading the ROMS.

The audio is working now too, on all emulators, using my own thread! http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=147022

I now have the problem that when existing a game XBMC is about a fifth fullscreen size, and usually locks up. I should add, I have to enable XBMC to run in windowed mode to get any game working in the first place..

• settings XBMC and your applications/emulators video setups as the same resolution than your desktop.
  
• force to restore your desktop resolution (and so XBMC resolution) once you exit an application using a small .sh script.

I have done an install using those commands and they have worked fine for me on the zsnes emu. I see that Angelcry has given you things to try so hopefully that will work for you.

No, setup 2 sources.

So, simply show the default category, put all your launchers inside it and finally point your XBMC Games menu/favorite/shortcut to the Default directory (plugin://plugin.program.advanced.launcher/?default) instead of the Advanced Launcher root directory (plugin://plugin.program.advanced.launcher).

2 questions, if you don't mind


Q1
I have created a 'games' and 'comics' categories, and have moved all my games to 'games'. I then edited my skin home.xml to have this line:

plugin://plugin.program.advanced.launcher/?games

But, when I attempt to launch the menu item it prompts me to create a new launcher. How should I correctly link to the 'games' category?

Q2
Before I created a 'comics' category, I edited my skin's home.xml with this menu item:

plugin://plugin.program.advanced.launcher/?comics

This gave me to opportunity to add a launcher. But, since creating the 'comics' category I can not either i/ edit the launcher to delete it, or ii/ change the items category; it does not exist in the menu list.

Is there a way to find this rogue launcher and delete it!? ... admittedly, this one is my fault.

Here is the debug log http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=21383

Much appreciated.

Lied! Here's another question:

Q3
Is there a scraper for magazines as shown in your first post, or did you create the data locally?
