@wimpy: ah, ok: may be an error with the synopsis. Can you upload synopsis and parserConfig?

well tried adding xbmc to admin account but xbmc already has admin access Sad So i tried changing the ownership to xbmc from root with

sudo chown xbmc:xbmc /usr/bin/zsnes

ownership is now root but RCB refuses to launch it Sad No idea what else to try to be honest.

Might be a shot in the dark but what happens if you run xbmc as root?:

sudo xbmc

Does it start the zsnes emu then? If yes, then it's a ownership issue.
sudo xbmc-live restart

-=Jason=-
unfortunately not Sad it seems as though RCB isn't even attempting to load zsnes. I remember doing this on launcher on older builds and it working perfectly so god knows what i'm doing wrong. Oh well its not system critical Smile

Thanks for the help guys, will leave this plugin for now and try again some other time.
Mmmmm trying to run zsnes from command line with xbmc running results in

zsnes -s -v 3 -ad sdl -r 6

running from root though gives me a zsnes window (albeit small)

However RCB won't attempt to run zsnes and zsnes refuses to go into any higher resolutions when running under xbmc.

Any ideas ?
@wimpy: I think parserConfig is your problem. Try this one (just removed some stars at the beginning):
Code:
<parserConfig>

@danz0l: Does not look like an RCB problem. Did you try to change resolution in zsnes to the same values that xbmc is using?

above .cfg files and let ZSNES create new ones.

Thanks mate, did already have a look there and have deleted the cfg files. I'm sure i'll figure it eventually.
ultra noob question but is anyone running this with osx, in which case what controller would you recommend pref wireless
Worked like a charm Malte.. Thanks! Now onto checking stuff Smile
Is this not compatible with Dharma beta 2? I'm running Windows 7 (with Confluence skin). Every time I try to change the addon settings, XBMC crashes. (I've never used this addon before, and I have the newest version of it.)

Debug log says that the texture manager is unable to load fanart.jpg from the script's folder. No file exists there.
it works with Dharma beta2 ,

are you saying when you try and open RCB it just force closes on you?

did you setup your config file?

-=Jason=-
i have similiar problem....whenever i try to configure rcb it crashes....on top of that svn and add ons are not working....i saw the update to the problem but didnt get it
It works with beta2 on Windows 7. This is my configuration here.

It crashes when you try to launch the config screen because it is not implemented (seems to be a bug in XBMC that it crashes). This also happened with beta1. You have to use a configuration file to configure the script. I will state that more clearly in the addon description.
