RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - gotham2014 - 2018-02-12 hi, just to clarify, artwork also needs to be in a different directory than the game? So I would have something like: GAMES > N64 > Advert GAMES > N64 > Background GAMES > N64 > Banner GAMES > N64 > Box GAMES > N64 > Box_3D GAMES > N64 > BoxBack GAMES > N64 > Cart GAMES > N64 > Cart_3D GAMES > N64 > Games GAMES > N64 > Gamevideo GAMES > N64 > Logos GAMES > N64 > System_Logo RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2018-02-12 No. It just needs to be unique. In your setup you have filenames like "poster.*", "screenshot.*", fanart.*. If you tell RCB to look for screenshot.* it will just import the screenshot file and all is good. The only problem is if you have files with the same name and a different extension and tell RCB to search for * as extension. So, if you have several files like - Roadsters.nfo - Roadsters.zip - Roadsters.mp4 and you tell RCB to search for "%GAME%.*" it will find all three files (because %GAME% will be replaced with the game name and the * acts as a wildcard). In this scenario you have to tell RCB exactly what files it should use for each filetype. So, rom file has to be "%GAME%.zip" and video file hast to be "%GAME%.mp4". RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - gotham2014 - 2018-02-12 ahh ha, now I get you. Will work on this now and get back to you with an update report. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - gotham2014 - 2018-02-12 Hi @malte I found out that the mp4 was giving the problems as suggested and was causing the crashing of kodi. I did notice something while importing which I could not solve. Maybe you know. Attached 2 nfo files. one before local scraping of nfo to restore DB and the second after. As you can see RCB almost all cleaned the data out of the nfo. This must have happened before the import as the GUI doesn't have any data anymore to show either, only the name of the game and platform. Any idea what causes this? Before scraping of nfo file: Code: <game> After scraping of nfo file: Code: <game> RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2018-02-12 Strange. Usually it should not touch nfo files when rescraping from nfo files. Do you have a log file from the scraping process? Sorry for the hassle. I hope you have backups of the files? RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - trihy - 2018-02-12 Thabks @malte There are many emulators with rom naming like mame. Atomis, naomi, naomi2 all this are emulated by demul emulator. M2 emulator, cps3 emulator, model 3 emulator... Maybe we can have an option to edit a rom name? I mean the rom name rcb shows, not the actual ron filename. This systems doesnt have a lot of roms, so it wont be that bad to use manual renaming. Maybe if renaming is possible, we can just add a .jpg with the renamed name on boxfront folder and on the other ones. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - trihy - 2018-02-12 Great the history.dat thing for mame. Will wait for that. Btw, the file txt/xml we were using for adding games to mame on rcb, was so cool because it didnt have 5 or 10 sf2, mk, etc mods or clones. Just the proper one and maybe the 2 player / 4 player version of a rom that has multiplayer. Will be great if we can have some kind of filter when parsing a mame dat. Not sure if its possible. Browsing a 15.000 mame roms list will be a pain. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - gotham2014 - 2018-02-12 No worries I had a backup and I am very happy you are so active in your help to resolve the problem. Not many app developers are like you. :-) attached the log. I had to run it again just to make sure I cached the event. I had only enabled the rcb debug. do i also need to enable the kodi debug? Thanks https://paste.ubuntu.com/=wZmxCd2Vhq/ RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2018-02-13 trihy Wrote:Maybe we can have an option to edit a rom name?

I just tested some simple game imports and performance was quite good.

Otherwise it won't write log information of addons. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - gotham2014 - 2018-02-13 Than I am very lucky. :-) But keep it up please. :-) Here is the new debug log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/gT4rV87ghq/ RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2018-02-13 Ok, there seem to be 2 errors. 1. You don't use the "local nfo" scraper (this is the scraper that uses the nfo files that you exported via RCB). In fact, this does not matter, you could as well use the offline parsers that you have created earlier. And this leads to error 2: 2. The offline parser that you are using does not seem to work anymore. The error is: Code: DEBUG: RCB_WARNING: description file for game 007 - GoldenEye (USA) could not be found. Check if this path exists: \\XXX\media\GAMES\N64\007 - GoldenEye (USA)\game.xml Can you check if the game.xml files are still available? So, you have 2 options: 1) use the local nfo scraper (if you have valid nfo files) 2) make sure that yor game.xml files are available. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - gotham2014 - 2018-02-13 Apologies. Send you the wrong log. I had forgotten to select local nfo file scraper. Attached correct version: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/442y2CRHsx/ As for question 2, yes, the game.xml is not their anymore, I removed it to make sure it was not causing problems. As I was importing only nfo, I thought the game.xml would not matter. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2018-02-13 Looks like you have found a bug. nfo import seems to have issues with "foldername as gamename" option. I have to test this option anyway on another feature so I could try to fix this alltogether. But new release will take a while. So in the meantime you could try to reimport your old offline descriptions. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - gotham2014 - 2018-02-13 Ah ok happy to have assisted you in finding a bug. :-) All my description are inside the nfo files. Anyway to import it a different way so that data is saved into the RCB database? Can I rename game.xml to %GAME%.nfo? e.g. in following line of code: Quote: <Site descFilePerGame="True" name="Nintendo 64" searchGameByCRC="False" useFilenameAsCRC="False" useFoldernameAsCRC="False"> I also have spend hours trying different configs to get the PS game to launch. Without any luck. Maybe you can see something? The problem is that the emulator is opening, but no game is loaded. This is the log: Code: 13:43:19.855 T:3580 DEBUG: RCB_INFO: Begin saveViewMode This is the emulator log: Code: * Running ePSXe emulator version 2.0.2. The game structure looks like this: GAMES > PS > The X-Files > The X-Files.cue GAMES > PS > The X-Files > The X-Files.bin GAMES > PS > The X-Files > The X-Files_Disk2.bin GAMES > PS > The X-Files > The X-Files_Disk3.bin GAMES > PS > The X-Files > The X-Files_Disk4.bin The cue file is: Code: FILE “The X-Files.bin” BINARY I also removed the "*.bin" and only have now: <romPath>smb://MULTIMEDIA-NAS/media/GAMES/PS//*.cue</romPath> <romPath>smb://MULTIMEDIA-NAS/media/GAMES/PS//*.iso</romPath> |
