What arguments are you using for this?
- TheHazel3yes - 2011-01-07
Well, I was just searching and couldn't find anything yet... For now it seems a lot easier to me to stay at zsnes as I didn't run into any problems yet.However if one of you figures out how to use it I'd be happy to read about it.
Stopped working - cancerboyuofa - 2011-01-07
For some reason, my addon stopped working. It gives the addon.py error whenever I try to load an actual rom. I have tried completely deleting the addons.db, the addons folder, and the userdata folder, and then reinstalling, but it still doesn't work.
I'm on Windows 7, XBMC Dharma Final
Here is my crash log:

I had everything working fine, but suddenly it seems to be getting caught somewhere. This is version 0.91

ali2k1 Wrote:hi all finally i got some time can u please look at my launcher xbmc log file please. few problems firstly ala isnt inputting arguements in so i manually have to do this with mame zsnes and fusion aint a problem but still. its not launching any roms and gives script error. thank you for all your help.For you arguments problem it happen because you did not enter them correctly. And the game are did not found because you did not select the right Game System. If your game system (for example Sega SG-1000) did not appear into the selection list, that's mean that the scraper source you selected did not have it into its database and so scrap will not give you any result.

sorry and its not scraping and comes back not found.

<platform>[b]Arcade[/b]</platform>You have indicated everywhere Action Max as gameplatform, so all the scraper try to found Action Max games with the rom name of game of other platform.... So it is normal that the scrapers return you nothing.

Eldorado Wrote:For those interested in SNES emulators, this one seems to fly under the radar as far as mass popularity goes but is probably the best SNES emulator we have todayThank you for the information. I will try this one this week-end and add the corresponding info on the wiki page. Thank you !!!
bsnes - http://byuu.org/
SNES9x and zsnes need to die out already, buggy and inaccurate, full of hacks just to make certain games work, correct or not.. this one is still actively being developed and has surpassed them by far in terms of accurately emulating the SNES
I've posted a request on his message boards asking for a mappable exit button, as it seems almost every single other function can already be mapped

I did not use those parameters form, so I think you have a problem with your launchers.xml file (wrong arguments or corrupted file). If you could send me your launchers.xml I may be able to help you to fix this.

The strange thing is that I have deleted and recreated that file like 10 times trying to get it to work, and with 3 different emulators, FCE, SNES9X, and MAME, all of them do the same error.

Oh, btw: Wii & Gamecube emulator Dolphin (weekly binaries available as dolphin-emu) is working with ALA, so if you want to add it to your wiki the arguments are:

Angelscry Wrote:It will be on the next release and will be assigned to ListItem.WriterThank you very very much!!!!
Think it would end very nice to have the option to see gamesys fanart as background as HTPC GUY suggested.Angelscry Wrote:I'm not sure but I think it is mostly Skin related. With the Advanced Launcher all the infos are send to XBMC using listitem array. This array contain all the items name, images and info... but are not sorted by name. So I think it is XBMC you sort them by default by title.
Actually I have never seen a skin allows to sort the program item by something else than title... but that does not mean it is not possible. I will try to see if I can modify my Alaska Revisited mod to add this functionality.
I think it is time to reduce my todo list...
Just tried, I looked for the button in a My...xml and port it to MyPrograms.xml, it appears in all the views, but it doesn't let you select it.
This is the code that night uses...
Code:
<control type="button" id="3">
<include>WindowMenuButton</include>
<label>103</label>
</control>
<control type="label">
<include>WindowMenuLabel</include>
<!-- LOC -->
<label>31090</label>
</control>So or either I'm not getting something or you need to code something "specially" in the add-on or it can't be done, I'm leaning to the last one.

hey bruv i tried reinstalling the emulators but still im having the same problem can you have another look cheers!! ignore sg1000.

This plugin is getting better and better ...
I have a suggestion: what about implementing rating flags like +18, M, and so on?
I don't know if there's a scraper for this, but put them inside via local folder?
I'm working on a games view for skin.cirrus, so a rating flag would give a professional touch!
Keep up the great work angelscry !

Ratings can be scraped from gamefaqs. Keep in mind though that ESRB ratings did not come into play until the 90's so all of the pre ps1 games will not get ratings.
I suggested this a while ago (along with other flags such as genre, studio, how many players available etc...
Angelscry wants to get the launcher part totally nailed down before heading into that territory.

Ok... so it is not coming from the Launcher.xml file. The content of yours is correct. I think the new command line support is not working on your system. Could you tell me which system you are using : OS, OS version, XBMC Version, etc... It could help me to fix this problem. Thank you.
