BORIStheBLADE Wrote:So I have spent more time messing with personal images for the launcher.

I turned off all the " automatic import during scan" settings in the launcher settings. I have all my .jpegs in another folder with same exact names as the nes games.
After it imports my thumbs about 4 of them aren't correct. I also go to the emulator settings and clear rom list and still have some wrong images.
Its like there are images still cached somewhere and it wants to use them instead.

Any ideas how to get it %100?

Windows 7 32bit

Quote:I have a strange problem when using this addon.

When prompted to choose the location of the emulator there is only one folder existing (D:/livetv, where i keep my recorded shows). I can´t go back/up in the folderstructure to where my emulators is (D:/games)

Is anyone experiencing this aswell or even better has a solution? I´m at work right now so no debug at this moment.

I installed this addon but I dont know I to use it. Are there any instructions?

Is there a way to call this launcher from favorites.xml to launch an executible?

thx

I tried running it from cli using both of these commands;

"C:\Program Files\PCSX2\pcsx2.exe"
cd "C:\Program Files\PCSX2\" && pcsx2.exe

The first line is basically what you are currently doing...it failed. The second like worked properly.

Any possibility of getting a fix for this? There is likely lots of games out there that would have the same issue. The working directory is not necessarily the executable path unless it specifically defines it as such, which is often not the case, sadly.

Angelscry Wrote:It is a XBMC cache related problem. If you only have 4 incorrect images, you can try to change them manually. Go on the corresponding rom, go into its context menu, select edit "rom option", then select "Change Thumbnail Image", then "Select a Local Image" and here select the image you want. Normally it will update the cached images and give you the right image.

If you want to use Advanced Launcher it is working the same manner as the old Launcher add-on but has more functionalities. There is no instructions.

Yes you have the possibility add this launcher to your favorite or any launcher into it as favorite and launch any executable application as you want.

rpleasan Wrote:OK but how do you use it? I configured my favorites like this;

<favourite name="Internet explorer" thumb="C:\internet_explorer.jpg">RunPlugin(plugin://programs/Launcher/?Internet explorer)</favourite>

This doesnt seem to work. How do you setup this application to launch an executible within the XBMC GUI?
thx

• Start the Advanced Launcher
  
• Create a new launcher (standalone one). If it is the first time you use the advanced launcher it will ask you directly the question.
  
• Select the Application (in your case may be C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe)
  
• For the applications arguments you can indicate the default opened page, for example : "http://www.google.com" (with the double quotes).
  
• Then indicate the name of the launcher : Internet Explorer.
  
• For the game system select what you want (it is not important)
  
• Then select the path where is located the thumbs of your application (C:\internet_explorer.jpg)
  
• Then select the path where is located the fanarts of your application
