1. unzip the file into Plugins/Program directory.
2. (linux users only): create a symlink for /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 named /usr/lib/libcurl.so (run: "sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 /usr/lib/libcurl.so" in terminal)
3. Run XBMC:
3.1. Switch to MC360 Skin (or some other skin that has "Programs" Section)
3.2. Go to Games -> Applications -> Add Source -> Browse -> Program Plugins
3.3. Select Launcher and Click "OK"
3.4. Click OK Again.
3.5. Right Click on "Launcher" Icon
3.6. Choose "Add to Favorites"
3.7. Switch back to PMIII Skin.
3.8. Click on the Arrow in the bottom right corner
3.9. Choose "Launcher"

klikkamongo Wrote:Hello!

I have some problems running Launcher.

I have downloaded Launcher1.03.zip and followed the guide in the first post.



But when I switch back to PMII and choose launcher from the favorites, it just opens the Launcher folder (...\XBMC\plugins\programs\Launcher).

What have I done wrong?

willcmuk Wrote:Cheers worked like a charm, still frustrated by the original vista problems though, maybe it's my graphics card creating a conflict, going to try another one and see if it's the same.

TerranQ Wrote:Nothing. Now you have to add the programs you want to launch. Right-click and select "add new launcher", then follow the instructions

TerranQ Wrote:I don't think it's the graphics card. I'm using the same one on Win 7 and it works fine

willcmuk Wrote:Could it be then a conflict with vista and the graphics card?

Quote:Also off topic but what settings do you find work best on catalyst and what shaders do you use?

willcmuk Wrote:Hi can someone help please, I'm trying to configure xbmc to correctly launch my emulators (fusion for megadrive and Project64 for N64) I have it setup and working on my laptop which is using XP so I know I'm doing it right so I think my problem is either vista related or graphics card related (ati hd4550) :

whenever I try and load fusion it brings error
"DirectDraw Init Error #2
Unable to create Primary Surface. Operation requires the application to have exclusive mode but the application does not have exclusive mode."

and for Project64
"Graphics Error
Direct3D failed to initialize
Error code:88760868
D3DERR_DECICELOST"

now both Project64 and Fusioin work as standalone and interestingly enough work when xbmc is up and running, so it must be a problem somewhere with the switchover code?

For reference I am using the latest SVN (21237)
Windows Vista 32bit Sp1
AMD athlon 64 x2 Dual 4600+ 2.4Ghz
2gb RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4550 driver 8.620.0.0
Realtek High Def Audio driver 6.0.1.5657

I'm sorry about that willcmuk, I had to do that too on mine.

st3amco0ker Wrote:Goal #1:

There aren't many discussions regarding this topic. I have launcher, the application, installed and worked great. ZNES would launch but not in full screen. SDLMAME, however, would not launch for some unknown reasons. I have launcher to execute a file called "mame," and inside it contains "sdlmame $1".

This is how it looks:

launcher.xml

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<launchers>
    <launcher>
        <name>Mame</name>
        <application>/home/xbmc/mame</application>
        <args></args>
        <rompath>/media/Media/Games/Mame/Roms/</rompath>
        <romext>zip</romext>
        <thumb>/home/xbmc/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails//Mame.jpg</thumb>
        <wait>true</wait>
        <roms>
            <rom>
                <name>SF3</name>
                <filename>"/media/Media/Games/Mame/Roms/SF3.zip"</filename>
                <thumb>/home/mc/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails//SF3.png</thumb>
            </rom>
    </launcher>

/home/xbmc/mame

Code:

sdlmame $1

What did I do wrong?

How can I make this work?

Goal #2:

How do you make SDLMAME run in full screen mode?

Thanks!
