I translated your add-on to Spanish and added support for diferent languages descriptions in the addon.xml file.

How can I send you the files?

Thank you.
Thank you for your contribution. Best way for me is to copy/paste your files into pastebin website and report me the corresponding URLs here.

I've been pretty happy using ALA with Transparency. I've been meaning to take some screenshots for a while now. I'll try to get them up this weekend.

Support of .lnk files will be available only on next Advanced Launcher version....Huh


- ali2k1 - 2011-01-16

Thanks bro that would be great. Is it possible or can ala scan for extensions/roms within folders kinda like recursive scan. I got a lot of popcap games which I'm scared to add as there's a lot. I tried using windows shortcut launcher with exe files and worked with "%rom"% as arg so I don't think it would be necessary to make shortcuts but you can test and see what works best.Any way will be looking forward to the next update. Thank you

I wanted to know how to launch boxee? I try to add it but it does not open boxee. I add the launcher with application /opt/boxee/run-boxee-desktop and it does not work. I also try as opt/boxee/boxee and that doesnt work either.

any help please.

Version 0.9.6
This new version of the Advanced Launcher bring new functionalities:

Image Image Image

"semi-automatic" options for scrapers.
With this new functionality, we have now 3 possibilities to use scrapers (data, thumbs and fanarts) during scanning : none, semi-automatic and automatic.
  • none: the scraper is deactivated (equivalent to the "off" option in oldest version)
  • semi-automatic: the scraper display a list of results and the user has to select one.
  • automatic: the scraper return the first found result (equivalent to the "on" option in oldest version)
.lnk files support
You will now have the possibility to use .lnk files as roms to start windows games or applications. When creating the launcher, select an application (this application will have no effect, but we need to select one), for the argument indicate "%rom%", and for the extension file, select lnk. All the .lnk files need to be into the same folder. Notice: The wait state option will not works with the .lnk files.

Changelog
  • add semi-automatic scrap option for datas, thumbs ans fanarts
  • add .lnk files support under Windows (files launcher)
  • rename "minimize XBMC" option to "toggle XBMC fullscreen"
  • spanish translation update (thanks to KiSUAN)
  • update polish translation (thanks to Robert de Clair)

Angelscry Wrote:No... The only archives files I'm using are zip files. Why still using .7z when most of the emulators do not recognize those files. The only reason of the use of the .7z files is to gain time for internet transfers (download/upload) and gain space by regrouping several version of a same roms into the same archive. But seriously who play different version of a same game? Wink

Personally I don't care about having multiple versions of the same game (and would prefer NOT to) but since they came that way I was hoping to leave them that way. Since posting I have discovered UnGoodMerge, which will apparently extract only the files you want from a large set of 7zipped files. Big Grin

Possible bug:

When Using "Edit Rom" -> Change Fanart Image it overwrites the Thumb Image

Im just configuring my Emulators and Roms the first time...Ive waited my whole life for something like this...thank you so much mate!

Great to hear Cool

Where are the db files located? I want to take my scanned roms to a friend's house. All of the paths are the same and everything, I just don't want to have to rescan everything over there.
