The issue is that was causing them not to launch is a space in the path.No... quotes are not the problem. And spaces in paths will not generate you a addon.py error. BTW could you please send me the xmbc.log file with this addon.py error to know exactly what happen in your case? - User 55003 - 2011-01-09 Nice work on the 0.9.4 all emu's work perfectly Cheers. - DaGround - 2011-01-09 TheHazel3yes Wrote:As I wrote within the last few pages I got dolphin working, however I was in the range of 10-20 fps on New Super Mario Bros - so I gave up, as I don't want to change emulator settings per game, it's just to much to mess around with... well fps is not the problem, all good looking in the 50-60. but i just dont get them running from xbmc al. i tried every combination, with command line..without arguments... did you install dolphin or just unzip it after download?? i didnt do that much config stuff, just some antialising and resolution to 1920 and gamepad config. so plzzz tell me how u got it working or pm me - TheHazel3yes - 2011-01-09 I installed a recent dolphin build (https://launchpad.net/~glennric/+archive/dolphin-emu) via apt-get. Then I started dolphin-emu without any arguments (to configure it) and later I simply added -e "%rom%". Which OS are you using? Advanced Launcher Ressources - Angelscry - 2011-01-09 A little message to indicate to all of you that there is actually 2 WIKI pages that could help you into the use of the Advanced Launcher :
- srsobieraj - 2011-01-09 Angelscry Wrote:Very strange... I'm going to check this. Fanarts are added (even if the option is disabled) during automatic scan or manually rom add? Are you sure you do not already have local fanarts images and Advanced Launcher found them automatically? They're definitely not local and they're pulled in during automatic scan. I have Thumbnails set to be pulled in automatically but not Fanart. I have all 3 of my scrapers defaulted to GameFaqs, and this does not occur when I have my default info scraper set to AllGame. Quote:Infos are stored into the launchers.xml file with all the Advanced Launcher infos.Ah, you're right. I forgot that emulators require that all ROMs be within a single directory. Thanks for your feedback Angelscry. I'll go back to looking for more bugs to fix. With luck, this community will be able to turn ALA into the Game FrontEnd that XBMC users have been asking for forever! - Angelscry - 2011-01-09 srsobieraj Wrote:They're definitely not local and they're pulled in during automatic scan.

I will try to see if I can fix it. Thank you for your feedback. It help me very much to improve the Advance Launcher. - DaGround - 2011-01-09 TheHazel3yes Wrote:I installed a recent dolphin build (https://launchpad.net/~glennric/+archive/dolphin-emu) via apt-get.

I've been looking for a way to use Spotify linux on my XBMC Live setup for a long time. And now it works perfect! Great job THANKS - srsobieraj - 2011-01-10 butchjr Wrote:I just have to say thank you. I've been looking for a way to use Spotify linux on my XBMC Live setup for a long time. And now it works perfect! I think you've posted to the wrong thread. Angelscry, I have two requests: Could you sort ROM names with articles (ie, words like "the", "a", "an") as if they didn't have those words? I'd like "The Legend of Zelda" to show up under "L" rather than "T". When I use automatic scan, it picks up the full name, It'd be super if ALA could either rename the ROM to "Legend of Zelda, The" or sort the ROM as if it didn't have that word. This could probably be an addon-setting. Second, I'd be interested in a way to store a "Collection" of Stand-alone Executables. Right now, all my PC Games are scattered around, but my Emulator games are neatly organized according to their system. I use Windows, so I tried to use cmd.exe to launch *.lnk shortcuts...but this didn't work, since cmd.exe doesn't take arguments. Any solution you can provide would be awesome. - TheHazel3yes - 2011-01-10 DaGround Wrote:win 7 64 bit, so i cant install it the linux way I think I read somewhere that on Windows a slash has to be used, so you could try Code: /e "%rom%" Btw: Dolphin should run better on Windows, and even more so on 64 bits. So maybe that's why there's a (huge) performance gap between Win7 64 bits and XBMC Live (which is 32 bits only), different hardware not even mentioned. - nickvda - 2011-01-10 Is there anyway to make it Possible to load Roms from seperate folder, for example, instead of having all my Roms in "C:\N64 Roms" would it be possible to put them all in "C:\N64 Roms\007 Goldeneye" and so forth? Seems for me only the first way works, but it might keep things more organized the second wya. Thanks for the addon by the way - Angelscry - 2011-01-10 srsobieraj Wrote:I'd like "The Legend of Zelda" to show up under "L" rather than "T".

This could probably be an addon-setting.Yes, I think it will be a good idea. I will try see if it is possible, because I know that names and titles with "," generate some script errors sometime. I will add this to my TODO list. srsobieraj Wrote:Second, I'd be interested in a way to store a "Collection" of Stand-alone Executables.

To start .lnk files under windows, I think you can use the "start shortcutname.lnk" shell command line. I have not tested, but maybe if you manually replace the application of your launcher by Start it maybe do the job. Another alternative will be to use .bat files. - Angelscry - 2011-01-10 TheHazel3yes Wrote:I think I read somewhere that on Windows a slash has to be used, so you could tryI have also some difficulties on my side to start dolphin-emu under Linux and Windows from XBMC.

Most of the time, roms need to be into the same folders (like for MAME emulator, project64, Dolphin, etc...). Also there is a lot of covers and screenshots images packs that already exist and are organized like this. I also think that 1 folder for roms, 1 folder for thumbnails and 1 folder for fanarts is the more organized manner to sort roms... and anything else. In your kitchen all the glasses are into the same place, all the forks are into the same place, and all the plates are into the same place. Even if you use those items together you did not place each glass/fork/plate set into different place... Anyway, If you really want you still organize your roms like this, you can always do it by manually adding the roms one by one and then select the corresponding fanart and thumbnail image. |
