I refreshed all my roms just to test. I used bsnes 0.73 QT

• /home/username/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.program.advanced.launcher folder for linux

TheHazel3yes Wrote:Now that's interesting! You put the "-conf" argument into the launchers part and the conf file into the rom part and it's working. I put the "-conf" to the rom part (in front of the configfile path of course) and it doesn't work. Strange. I thought it would make no difference...
Problem is: I only have seven games in my DOS launcher and six of them are using the same conf and mapper file (as the are Commander Keen I - VI). So with your method I'd have to create a conf for every game. Instead I want it to use like this:

Code:

The six Keen games are using standard conf and are loaded directly through the exe - dosbox automatically sets the right path then.
Only Need for Speed uses another conf and mapps and loads its needed drives and programs.

MOmo42 Wrote:I am curious where I can find the xml data for a launcher shortcut I created in Aeon mq2 using Advanced Launcher? The link is bad and I can not edit it from inside of XBMC. Every time I try I get this error: "SCRIPT FAILED: ADDON.PY" This happens no matter what action I try and take with the link. Thanks in advance for any help. Great MOD, it is really rounding out my media center nicely.

Angelscry Wrote:Ok... I was able to start dosbox, using conf files from the advanced launcher. This is my launchers.xml file configuration for the launcher :
And for the rom part :

Code:

...
<name>doom</name>
<filename>[b]/media/emulation/dosbox/roms/doom.conf[/b]</filename>
...

Now this is the last line of my doom.conf file. The most important here is to mount the folder where is located your games. In my case games are into /media/emulation/dosbox/roms folder and each game is into separate directory (e.g. doom game is into /media/emulation/dosbox/roms/doom)

Code:

...
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
[b]mount c /media/emulation/dosbox/roms[/b]
c:
cd doom
DOOM.EXE
exit

I hope it will be what you are expecting....
I think this method is better than using .bat file. Thankv you to make me discover it !!!!
