Yes; however, if I put the path name in quotations, its loads and crashes, if I do it like the *.desktop launcher does it gives me the following message:

heinrich@heinrich-desktop:/$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/heinrich/.wine" wine C:\\\\Program\\ Files\\ \\(x86\\)\\\\EA\\ GAMES\\\\Need\\ for\\ Speed\\ Underground\\ 2\\\\SPEED2.EXE
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

It only seems to work if I open it from a folder or the *.desktop launcher

This is what happens when I just use wine and pathname:

You probably need to escape the ()'s so bash sees them as regular characters. Does quoting the c:\... command with " help?

Is there any way to launch (play) a playlist automatically?

For example, I have a Random Seinfeld playlist. I added it to favorites so that I could add it to Adv. Launcher, but all that does take me to the playlist. I was hoping there was a way to set it so that it would just start playing the first entry on the playlist instead of opening it up.

Thanks!

When I quote it like I showed up above it executes but crashes. What do you mean by escape the (? Do you mean place a carot in front of the (? Like this? ^(

When I just click the *.dekstop file it will launch normally and it will also work if I just double click it in the .wine folder in nautilus. Just not from the command line which is really frustrating the crap out of me right now.

Update
It will run from command line but I have to be in the directory of the executable. I'm thinking it has to do with the Program Files (x86) folder and that Linux has a hard time changing to that directory. I'm going to try doing it with a batch file to see if I can get it to work.

Update 2

So I rewrote the batch file so that it would escape the ( character like this:

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/heinrich/.wine/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/EA\ Games/Need\ for\ Speed\ Underground\ 2
wine speed2.exe


When I execute it this is what I get:

FINAL UPDATE


Okay, so after looking through the way I had it I noticed a few typos in my script and I fixed them to look like this:

#!/bin/sh
cd /$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/EA\ GAMES/Need\ for\ Speed\ Underground\ 2

wine speed2.exe

I then tested it from terminal and IT WORKS!!

For Advance Program Launcher I had to create it as a standalone launcher and I'm guessing that there really is no way to get it to work like a files launcher.

It does work now but has anyone been able to get it to work as a files launcher like we do for emulators?

Try using bash or sh as the launcher and .sh files as roms.

Thats an awesome idea, I've only done that with sudo before so I could get Netflix working.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks!!

http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1688551

Finally found the time to test it. Works like a charm. Thanks a lot.

Only issue I have is with starting Google Chrome. It starts Chrome, but after that it goes on and restarts XBMC. It doesn't wait for Chrome to close.

Does anyone know of a way to solve this?

Ive never used chrome on windows but Ive noticed its a bit strange on Linux in that it spanws multiple processes. Check task manager to see if there are any others started. You might need a auto hot key script to run chrome, wait for the chrome window to appear and then wait for it to close. Then compile to ahk script to a exe and run that instead of chrome. The following example should get you started, Ive copy-pasted it from some of my scripts, so it needs to be configured for your system. Get the replacement for 'Steam ahk_class CUIEngineWin32' using the window spy that comes with AHK.

Run, c:\path\to\chrome.exe
WinWait, Steam ahk_class CUIEngineWin32
WinWaitClose, Steam ahk_class CUIEngineWin32

Thanks for the quick reply. I also think 'the multiple processes' is the cause of the trouble.
Using AHK is a very good idea. And simple. Already use it to mitigate some unwanted Windows and Chrome behaviour. I could have thought of this solution myself. But I didn't.

You did though. Thanks.

AHK is my go-to program for fixing annoyances with windows

I know this forum is for advanced launcher, but i thought since a decent amount of people on here have used nullDC that i might be able to get some help, I have read every post dealing with nulDC on here but I'm having a problem getting NullDC to work with "LoadDefaultImage=1" if I set it to "1" I get this error "Unhandled exeption while initing nullDC AICA [Aug 21 2011] plugin" when i try to launch any game from advanced launcher and if i deactivate it i get the little browser window and then have to use my mouse to click OK, if it has the right game listed.

i have tried 2 different downloads and 3 differnt bios files (in case they where corrupted)
i have also downloaded and updated my ActiveX plugin from Microsoft

if I use the empty AICA sound plugin it works but the FPS at 150 to 200

it works great out side of XBMC if I change autostart and loadDefaultImage back to 0 (but then I can't use it with advanced launcher)

system specs:
windows 7 home premium 64 bit service pack 1
Intel® Core™ i3 cpu M 370 @2.40Ghz
4GB Ram (i think DDR2)

here's my NullDC.cfg

so far i have setup nestopia, kegafusion and ZSNESW and they all work great with advanced launcher (and AutoHotkey for seamless exit of emulators and back to xbmc)

thanks to angelscry for all the great work on this addon

thanks to anyone that can help (I have been working on it for 3 days non stop)

Are you using wasapi in xbmc? See a few posts up for info on how to quit xbmc, run emulator then restart xbmc.

if this is directed to me thanks for the fast response, I don't think I'm using wasapi at all, to be honest i had never herd of it till now (I am on a Laptop if that makes a difference for audio output) also i made 2 quick macros last night with eventghost to close XBMC when i launch NullDC..... then relaunch XBMC when i close NullDC and i still got the same error. and i forgot to post that if i launch nullDC with the nullDC.cfg changed (to work with XBMC) then i get a message from windows telling me it stopped working and it closes it on its own (I just assumed that was because it was trying to launch a .cdi with out one being selected)

thanks

Check to make sure xbmc is using direct sound, not wasapi as wasapi is exclusive. Also with the eg macros there would be a slight overlap of both programs no?

sorry about that started to edit my last comment and forgot to hit post

after a short brain fart duh me, i remembered that xbmc had sound settings after changing the sound to directsound it works with out errors thank you so much

and for eventghost there might be a slight overlap because I set it up using processes watcher and used the "processes.created.nulldc......." to trigger the close of XBMC but visually xbmc closes first but i would imagine that NullDC was starting in the back ground just like clicking any exe it takes a second. but anyways i don't need to close XBMC once i changed the audio to directsound its all working like i need
again thank you so much
