- nekoarashi - 2010-12-22 Works great so far, two small additions if possible. 1. Is it at all possible to have numerous sources for a particular romset as in like 40gb on C:// and 300gb on F:// ? Also, when it comes to existing games in my catalog, can there be an option to autoscrape my existing library without having to add each one individually? if so that's awesome, if not still 9.5/10 ^^ - Angelscry - 2010-12-22 nekoarashi Wrote:Works great so far, two small additions if possible. 1.

But, one thing you can do, for example, if you have 2 different directories (roms1 and roms2) on different hard drive.
nekoarashi Wrote:Also, when it comes to existing games in my catalog, can there be an option to autoscrape my existing library without having to add each one individually? if so that's awesome, if not still 9.5/10 ^^I'm not sure that I understand you. If you add some roms into your directory, you just have to do another scan for new roms and so additional roms will the added automatically. It is what you mean?? - fr500 - 2010-12-22 Hey! the plugin is looking great I just updated and it's awesome I modded SHADE to make the whole thing work better for me, here is a screenie I can't figure out how to convert this to a new viewtype, will post to SHADE subforum looking for info on that, I will implement this and wall view then. Right now my mod replaces the stock SHADE apps viewtype If anyone wants this quick dirty mod it's here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/149537/ViewsFileMode.xml The only problem I have is launching steam games, I'm using steam://launchapp:34995 or whatever and it works, games are launched but XBMC doesn't go into wait state so some games run slow for that reason. Thanks for this Angelscry - htpc guy - 2010-12-22 [linux 10.4 w/ Gnome] Okay, I just got PCSXR working (PlayStation emulator) but I'm having problems with the arguments. If I don't provide any then the gui pops up and I have to manually load the roms (.bin files, at least for the ones I have). I have tried the following arguments: Code: -nogui -loadbin Code: -nogui -loadiso Either argument will minimize XBMC and then immediately go to a black screen. I have to ctrl+alt+f1 and do a sudo reboot in order to get my system back. I've tried google searches for the exact arguments but I'm not finding it. You guys are the best ones to ask so here I am asking. Also, I installed it from here http://pcsxr.codeplex.com/releases/view/50048 - nekoarashi - 2010-12-22 Angelscry Wrote:There is actually no possibilities to scan different or multiple directories for a same launcher. But, one thing you can do, for example, if you have 2 different directories (roms1 and roms2) on different hard drive. I mean for roms that I chose to not autoscrape the first time I added them, is it possible toautoscrape them by running a scraper once they have been already added? Later on I mean, as when I batch scrape ALL my roms it tends to fail for some reason. - nekoarashi - 2010-12-22 Also, as of the8.7 update the addon.py script failed error has reappeared when batch adding roms, anyone else having that issue? - TheHazel3yes - 2010-12-22 htpc guy Wrote:I have tried the following arguments: You did start pcsxr with GUI first, right? Because in the GUI you have to set some things (like the BIOS you have downloaded etc.). When you're done setup up things you load a game to see if everything is working. After that you add Code: -nogui -cdfile Another thing is the way you downloaded the iso/bin/whatever. Some I've seen were ecm'd (unecm them), some were CloneCD images... All my attempts to bring them into iso format didn't work. BUT: pcsxr can handle img and bin just fine, no need to convert to iso. - MrBump - 2010-12-22 0.8.6 and 0.8.7 have both given me addon.py script failed errors whilst trying to add images to the roms. what logs do you need and where can i find them? im running xbmc 10, on a live install. - nekoarashi - 2010-12-22 Now none of the scrapers work at all =( even after rolling back to 8.6. . any ideas? - Robert de Clair - 2010-12-22 @MrBump I think you shuld put there as code XBMC.LOG python section. additionally settings.xml and launchers.xml should help too. try in kind of this style http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=664260&postcount=396 Feature request Remove Rom shouldnt restore it when im trying to rescan launcher for new files. So remove rom from launcher actually should make rom invisible in rom list, but this rom should be still in database for prevent adding unwanted roms. And there are connected feature - list of unwanted roms who can be restored to launcher. - Angelscry - 2010-12-22 fr500 Wrote:Hey! the plugin is looking great I just updated and it's awesomeWoaaa... Great view !!!! I think the SHADE skin may works as the other skins and because I have modded the Alaska.Revisited skin I could give you some tips to add an additionnal view. First, you have to change the name of the ViewsFileMode.xml file to a unique one (like NewViewsFileMode.xml) Then you have to choose him an unique name (New_View_File_Mode for example), an unique control panel ID (over 500) and a unique label (like 40000) like this for your NewViewsFileMode.xml file. Code: <includes> Code: ... Code: <views>55,58,54,59,500</views> <---- HERE Code: ... - MrBump - 2010-12-22 Problem Solved, obviously a permissions problem. Just changed the directory where the roms are located to write permissions, and all is working fine. Thanks MrBump Wrote:0.8.6 and 0.8.7 have both given me addon.py script failed errors whilst trying to add images to the roms. Heres the logs that hopefully help fix my problems. Thanks in advance guys. XBMC.log Code: 20:23:10 T:3016125296 M:1424461824 NOTICE: -->Python Interpreter Initialized<-- Settings.xml Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?> Launchers.xml Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?> Hopefully this can help. I can already see some error's in the log, but, not sure how to interprete them. Thanks guys. - htpc guy - 2010-12-22 TheHazel3yes Wrote:You did start pcsxr with GUI first, right? Because in the GUI you have to set some things (like the BIOS you have downloaded etc.). When you're done setup up things you load a game to see if everything is working. I got the emulator working fine on its own (bios installed and everything). Through the gui I can run FF7 by opening the .bin files and it works great. I just need to figure out how to get XBMC to run them without me having to manually point to the rom. I'll try your suggestion for loadcd and see if that helps. It will have to wait until I get home fro work though. - Angelscry - 2010-12-22 htpc guy Wrote:Okay, I just got PCSXR working (PlayStation emulator) but I'm having problems with the arguments.

But I have planned to work on the improvement of the emulators integration during next weeks (yesss... winter vacation !!!!) and I will put a look on PCSXR. Have you try to run the command lines : Code: pcsxr -h Code: pcsxr -help Code: man pcsxr - Angelscry - 2010-12-22 nekoarashi Wrote:I mean for roms that I chose to not autoscrape the first time I added them, is it possible toautoscrape them by running a scraper once they have been already added?

Robert de Clair Wrote:Feature requestAs I have already write several times, the Advanced Launcher is a launcher and will never be a roms manager. It is the charge of the users to configure the emulators and manage the roms they want to use with the Advanced Launcher (like for Movies and Music under XBMC). Putting only the roms you want to use into a directory is quite simple. What you ask me here, is to add a functionality to manage roms that you do not want to use. If you do not want to use those roms you can just try 2 simple things :
Why you do not want to launch/use/detect some roms ? |
