Hi guys,

I'm in Kodibuntu Isengard 15.1 and I've got a problem with RCB 2.1.2 and retroarch/libretro setup. I try to config the SNES emulator as Retroarch but cannot launch anything. I've tried these emulator params:

Code:
-L /lib/libretro/snes9x_libretro.so "%rom%"

Are these params correct? I tried a lot of combination (quoted, just libretro)

Thanks!! Wink

That looks correct to me. Try launching from a terminal first, to make sure its not a problem with your retroarch.

Code:
/path/to/retroarch -L /path/to/core /path/to/rom

Thanks, works perfect. Probably should have thought of that..

So I have some unofficial translations of certain games along with the original game.

RCB seems to be ignoring them, i guess because it thinks they're duplicates. Is there some way to make it show the duplicates? I don't have any actual duplicates, so this feature is useless to me and only getting in the way. Translated roms aside, It would still be better if I could see duplicates because that would mean a scraping mismatch.

Having an issue. I have RCB working well with SNES emulator and roms but now I want to add NES and other emulators. I cannot for the life of me find the option in the settings to run the wizard again. In the description of the addon it says to bring up the contextual menu of the addon which I did. But the only option was addon settings and the wizard is not an option that is available. I feel really dumb because I know this is probably really simple.

Thank you to the developer(s) for all the hard work that was put into this addon and thank you in advance to anyone that can assist me.

Here's one way to fix that:

I'll use the following as my example:
Super Awesome Bros. (1999).sfc
Super Awesome Bros. (1999) [T-En by 1337 Translations v6.66].sfc

So you should also have a file named:
Super Awesome Bros. (1999).nfo

So copy it and rename the new copy .nfo to:
Super Awesome Bros. (1999) [T-En by 1337 Translations v6.66].nfo

Now open up:
Super Awesome Bros. (1999) [T-En by 1337 Translations v6.66].nfo
With you favorite text editor and in the line:
<title>Super Awesome Bros.</title>
to
<title>Super Awesome Bros. [T-En by 1337 Translations v6.66]</title>
and maybe change the line:
<developer>Nobody Ltd.</developer>
to
<developer>Nobody Ltd. / 1337 Translations</developer>

Please help getting RCB to work with ubuntu linux install.

I have no window manager installed and kodi installed as a service that calls xorg. This works just fine, my setup is very similar to the pre-made kodibuntu distro. I have no problems playing video or music.

I am having a problem with getting RCB to launch my emulators correctly. I have it setup and scraped games and when I try and play them, the emulator starts and flashes briefly but then exits and kodi resumes. I have tried all the settings in RCB and with commandline flags for windowed and fullscreen, also set resolution and it will not work.

Is there something that I am missing?

Attached is my kodi.log from when I click on a game

Hi Malte

It's the end of October ; ) Have you started working on RCB again? You have a lot of fans to look after by now, you know? : )

I'm having a problem with the scraping feature; when RCB fails to scrape and has no info, rescraping with the manual option selected allows me to select the proper title and I get the new art that goes with that title. If it has downloaded the wrong art and/or info, though, rescraping appears to do nothing. (I certainly don't get the option to select the proper title.) is there any way to delete the set art/nfo for one specific game, leaving it empty, and then rescraping? Will just deleting the image/nfo file(s) currently set for it work, or will that just mess up RCB? I'm using the latest version downloaded for the latest version of Kodi (Isengard) on the Google Nexus Player.

dinho.bc · 2015-10-24, 17:35

Delete only games from rom collection and import games again.

I really hate to be the guy whose first post is a question, but...

I'm still getting the "Import is still being cancelled" message. I tried deleting the config.xml file, but when I put it in the trash, it says there's no such file. I'm not even sure how that's possible, since i did a search for the file and deleted the one found in the rcb folder. Can anyone help? Maybe there's a way to purge all the files related to the rcb addon?

Running Kodibuntu. Thanks.

Thanks for the help! I tried as you suggested, and it did allow me to re-import them and rescrape.

Unfortunately, even though I specifically selected "Interactive" to manually select matches when I had it reimport/rescrape those deleted ROMs, it's still not letting me manually select matches and it once again automatically pulls in the wrong boxart/game version again instead. (Things like using a mobile phone version screenshot as the thumbnail for Ms. Pac-Man for the NES, or thinking that Final Fantasy III for the NES is actually Final Fantasy I+II.) I know the correct game information is on the sites I'm scraping from, so is there any way to force manual selection when I rescrape? (It does allow me to manually select matches when I have a game with no info, where it couldn't automatically find something on the first scrape.) Or am I stuck setting up the NFO file/boxart myself for those games?
