I tried switching to default skins when this first happened as well as running Kodi as admin, even doing a full re-install and deleting C:\users\dcquence\appdata\roaming\kodi

Try using your PC games not as a standalone launcher but the same as an emulator. So have .lnk files to your PC exes and use Explorer.exe as your launcher application. Try performing scrapes under this setup and report the results.

I used to have this working and have Model 3 working (and other emulators) fine, but when launching a Model 2 game it launches the emulator but not the game. I have "%rom%" as my arguments and zip as the extension.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks

Using aeon skin.

I managed to get it sort of working. Once I setup the Application Launcher source (I chose IBM PC compatible?), I added a "Programs" link to the home page. This works, but only after going through a sub page, which is clunky.

All I want is to be able to add a main menu item that when selected, launches the Netflix app directly with no sub menus. And for it not to lose focus. Is this possible?

EDIT: losing focus was just a launcher4kodi setting.

Create a launcher, link your app to that launcher, press C on your chosen app in the launcher, pick Add to Favourites, go to your skins menu and find the section that does stuff to your home screen and find a way to add a custom favourite, pick the app you added as your favourite. Viola!

The reasoning behind why it fails or doesn't work is because Advanced Launcher passes the full path to a given emulator (eg: X:\ROMS\MYGAME.ZIP) via the "%rom%" and %rom% arguments. Trouble is, M2 Emulator as far as I can tell only accepts emulator.exe gamename as command line arguments and that's it! M2 Emulator has to have a rom directory defined within itself through its own ini file or by default it will scan for a rom subdirectory in its own directory. In other words, path information is completely ignored by M2 emulator via command line.

Need a bit of support.

Just started using advance launcher for my emulator collection on android but am running into some hiccups. Am running the following

Nvidia shield TV - Marshmallow
Snes98 plus ex
md.emu
nes.emu
mame for android

Jarvis Beta (so pass through works on my amp)

So first question I am guessing a limitation with android is you cant have roms on a central nas drive as the emulators on android cannot see them? tried setting this up but always get file not found when trying to launch?

So based on the above i went and bought a 64gb usb drive to store roms and thumbnails / fanart. I seem to be able to add each launcher and rom sets no problem, the problem i do have is that n matter what scrapper i try and use it can never find anything using online sources..

is scrapping a problem at the moment or is it my set-up? i have tried using google, gamesdb, gamefaq etc etc.. but with the same effect.

I took have issues scrapping. ive gone the route of local images

as for the NAS issue. Adv Lncr wont see them unless you MOUNT the path to the nas. (aka add it as a source) it should see them then
