First of all, if you have another name for the plugin, please write me. I'm really bad inventing names.
What does this Plugin do? It’s a first release version of a plugin I started half a year ago. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=42556
This hast two components: A small plugin which can translate xml files into a XBMC folder structure and a Java application to create those xml files.
This plugin allows you to add various files for launching from within XBMC. There is a special wizard that allows to batch add emulator roms with automatically chosen Icons. The wizard only supports some emulators, but more can easily be added.

Usage:
1. Copy the EmuLauncher folder in you XBMC program plugin folder
2. Start the EmuLauncher.jar from EmuLauncherConfigurator (Should start by clicking on it. If not, create a .bat with “java -jar EmuLauncher.jar”
3. Create the structure as you like, manually or with the wizard found in tools
4. Export your project to the EmuLauncher/data folder of the plugin


Please remember that this is a very early ALPHA version.

Tested currently only on windows, linux and mac will follow. I stil need help with the python plugin part to support FanArt and so on. So if you have experience in plugin development and are willing help, write me.

Yes I know that the game library is on the way and that there is the launcher plugin. This is a project to try new java stuff and more proof-of-concept for me.


Here are some screenshots:

Nice work!

this is great news! Something to tide us over until someone decides to take the mantle from Leo to make the GamesLibrary. I will be installing it ASAP! Thanks!

Seems to work well until you actually try to launch games. I've tried znes and n64 and I get a "Windows cannot find C:/program'"

Seems to be a problem with whitespaces in the path of the emulator. I will fix it in the next release

I updated the first post with a link to r50 of the EmuLauncher. I had to split up the cmd into the link to a executable and the command line parameters to fix the bug with spaces in the cmd.
This means you have to re-add your roms or manually edit your project (Just mark all roms you want to edit end cut&past the exe from cmd to the new field and apply your changes)

I added a new feature called copy export. It will basically copy the roms and pictures you use in your project to a new location. I needed this because I have complete rom sets on an external hdd and wanted only the ones I selected on my HTPC.

I saw that at least 40 people downloaded this plugin. Does it work for you? Do you use it? I don't know if I should add more stuff or move on to another project

Thanks for creating such a program for XBMC. I will try it out and let you know how it goes!!
