- fr500 - 2011-01-19 I have started adding my roms to emulators. On windows bsnes wait state doesn't work. XBMC stays active regardless of the setting. Also there is a problem when filenames contain commas (,) and ampersand (&) Won't load the roms that way. Code: <name>bSnes</name> - Angelscry - 2011-01-19 timdog82001 Wrote:I am using the most recent version of ALA on Windows 7, from the addons repository. It works well in most regards, but when trying to create a new entry for a file launcher (trying to add MAME, actually), it isn't seeing the drive where it is stored, drive D, it is only showing drive C. Other emulators (also located on drive D) which I already set up in a previous version of ALA work fine. The file manager in XBMC can see navigate to drive D perfectly well.Before start ALA you need to manually add your drives as sources into XBMC. Then ALA will be able to detect and acces those sources/drives : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=89915 - Angelscry - 2011-01-19 fr500 Wrote:I have started adding my roms to emulators.BTW, last windows versions of Bsnes do not have fullscreen support. So... no interest. - fr500 - 2011-01-19 There are 2 problems: First problem: Wait state not working for bsnes bsnes was forked on the phoenix port and the QT port. The QT port binaries for the last revision are not available but the previous version is still the best Snes emulator out there hands down. The phoenix branch does not have full screen QT does. http://www.mediafire.com/?xyh9nc09h6krpwj The reason of the wait state not working is the following is that you start bsnes from bsnes.exe. So your Plugin is tracking for bsnes.exe to finish. Bsnes.exe spawns another proceess (bsnes-performance.dll) and closes itself. Then XBMC sees as if bsnes has finished (which it hasn't) and comes back. This is NOT a bug in Advanced Launcher. This is an issue not only with bsnes but with many apps that spawn other processes. Examples are: - Resident Evil 5 - Street Fighter 4 - Trine - Devil May Cry 4 - Red Faction Guerilla - Any Steam app There is an easy workaround I'll describe the process for bsnes: 1. Create a batch file on the same folder that bsnes.exe resides Quote:@echo off 2. In the case of bsnes this seems REALLY important Create a shortcut to bsnes.bat in the same folder. Check it's properties, it's important that the "Working Directory" is the directory where "bsnes.exe" is in. Also you can set it to start minimized to hide the ugly DOS windows from view. 3. Create the launcher pointing to the shortcut you created in #2. No arguments required if you configured bsnes-qt.cfg This works 100% except for the Second problem: It won't load roms with commas (,) or ampersands (&) in the name. Not even with bsnes.exe directly. This seems a bug with ALA as it's only receiving the Romname up to the "," or "&" Instead of: Legend of Zelda, The - A Link to the Past (U) [!].sfg It receives" Legend of Zelda I'm using "%rom$" as argument dunno if there are other choices. Easy solution: Rename your roms. But I have a lot of roms Edit: tried the same with ZSnes, doesn't work either when commas in the name. it's likely a problem parsing the "," or "&" character - Angelscry - 2011-01-19 fr500 Wrote:tried the same with ZSnes, doesn't work either when commas in the name. it's likely a problem parsing the "," or "&" character[/b]This bug exists since the old Launcher version. It only exist on Windows... I will try to see what I can do... - fr500 - 2011-01-19 Danke - srsobieraj - 2011-01-19 Angelscry Wrote:[*]fix import text file function (double quotes) Hey Angelscry, This seems to be fixed for the text-file import but not for importing a plot from the web. To see an example, choose GameFaqs as your scraper and scrape for Code: Mass Effect (PC) I still see " in the plot. Cheers! - fr500 - 2011-01-19 I just want to use this one post to say Thanks a lot angelscry for your awesome work - ECEC - 2011-01-20 Angelscry Wrote:Ho... ok... I will check this on my system when I will be at home. One thing you can try is to play with your Nestopia launcher advanced options : toggle XBMC fullscreen and Wait state. Also did you activated the Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen option into the Settings / System menu of XBMC? I changed the Toggle XBMC fullscreen option and it seemed to work! Thanks. Just a note: I've been playing around with Dolphin for Gamecube emulation and it your arguments don't seem to match up with the latest version I downloaded. If you change it to Code: -e "%rom%" it works fine, though. All you need to do is open the emu once and configure it to open fullscreen once a rom is loaded and it should work fine at that point. Another surprise for ALA - butchabay - 2011-01-20 Coming soon ... preview for MOD Cirrus.Extended http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM5bEb2e0VA - htpc guy - 2011-01-20 butchabay Wrote:Coming soon ... preview for MOD Cirrus.Extended looks great. Can't wait for the update. - moviebuff - 2011-01-20 When you edit the roms info individually is there a way to have the whole rom list scraped? - srsobieraj - 2011-01-20 moviebuff Wrote:When you edit the roms info individually is there a way to have the whole rom list scraped? I'm not sure I understand. Do you want to edit individually or do you want to use a scraper? Scraping can be done in 2 ways: Automatic and semi-automatic. Automatic runs the scraper and assigns info to the ROM based on the best match. Semi-Auto runs the scraper but asks the user to make the best match. There is presently no way to select "No match" in this mode. If "Off" is selected, ALA will import the ROMs but not gather any info. You can then go and scrape each ROM individually. If you're talking about the "Import plot from file" option, then you have to set each plot manually at the moment. ALA doesn't look to see if you have a plot file already (mostly because there is no pre-defined location for plot files). Perhaps this could be added in future versions, by specifying a Plot path the same way we set Thumbnail and Fanart paths. - htpc guy - 2011-01-20 If anyone is interested I've created some system fanart which will look great in the 1.1 version of Cirrus Extended that will include Right List. It includes N64, NES, PlayStation, Sega Genesis and SNES There is a Read-me file in the skin that tells you how to use the extra fanart/thumbs. I'm using the third controller image as the icon for the emulator selection. - kmfdm515 - 2011-01-20 i guess i'm totally missing something here. i'm using the installation guide in the OP. after i install the add-on and then select it, a box says "loading directory. retrieved 0 items" and just hangs forever. i can't even get to the initial launcher creation. what am i doing wrong? |
