If you are talking about MAME games specifically, there is a third party tool you can use to populate all this information. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - sarakha63 - 2012-08-23 i did use those option but this did not solve the issue. It's for wii games i have some games that does'nt exist on the scrapers site at all, and there isn't any trace of them in rom collectrion brower. With advanced launcher they appear and i can assign them a title, a image and a fanart manually I don't really understand what's happening RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - tmpdir - 2012-08-23 (2012-08-22, 08:56)sudopinion Wrote:(2012-08-22, 07:24)tmpdir Wrote: Anyone having problems using RCB with emulators in lower resulution?Yup. This happens to me too. I notice the same problem occurs when launching dolphin-emu without the rom collection browser using: /usr/local/bin/dolphin-emu" -e "/Roms/New SUPER MARIO BROS.iso" -b Problem seems to be that the emulator doesn't get the focus when executed this way. Any solutions? RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - teeedubb - 2012-08-24 Is it possible to launch batch files in windows with RCB? Ive been mucking about trying to get it to work all afternoon with no success. Ive been trying to use the %ROM% variable but instead of launching the batch file I get an error saying %ROM% is not a command. My config.xml: Code: <RomCollection id="10" name="SEGA Saturn"> My applaunch.bat: Code: REM Is XBMC running? The error I get: Code: \Windows\system32>REM Is XBMC running? From googling this seems to be the way to do it...And Im sure this used to work... although my setup has changed recently. This happens in both 1.0.1 and 1.0.5. Any suggestions on how to get batch files to work with RCB? RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2012-08-24 sarakha63 Wrote:i did use those option but this did not solve the issue.You have to reimport games after changing this option. It will not automatically show the games. teeedubb Wrote:From googling this seems to be the way to do it...And Im sure this used to work... although my setup has changed recently. This happens in both 1.0.1 and 1.0.5.Did not have the time to test this myself but I would say this is the way to do it. You could also try to leave emulatorCmd empty and use "%ROM%" as emulatorParams. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - lordashram - 2012-08-24 @teeedubb Do you need to use batch scripts for each of your Saturn ISO's? For my PS1 ISO's, I use the TOSEC ISO dumps, they are bin/cue each compressed into 7Zip files. So instead of decompressing each game into it's own folder, I use the following batch script as my emu command line: Code: @echo off If you really do need to use batch scripts for each of your games then use the Windows scrapper instead. So remove your Saturn games collection and rescrap them as Windows games, using the *.bat as the roms file type. Then edit your config.xml and rename the <RomCollection id="20" name="Windows"> (or whatever the id is) to <RomCollection id="20" name="SEGA Saturn"> I did something similar to this with my MAME roms since I have divided them out into things like Arcade: CAPCOM CPS 1/2/3, Arcade: SONY ZN 1/2, ..... RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Dutchuser - 2012-08-24 I have three monitors hooked up to my windows 7 pc, two normal ones and my TV. I always have XBMC showing on my TV. When I want to play a snes rom (with bsnes) from the Rom Collection Browser the emulator starts on my primary monitor. I was wondering if there is a way to start the emulation on my TV (third monitor). I have already tried an application called UltraMon, but it only allows me to start the emulator on my third monitor via a setting in the properties of a shortcut. When I then select that shortcut in the Rom Collection Browser as the place of the emulator, it doesn't work.. Anyone here got any ideas?

Isn't there any file inside the mame.app "folder" that is responsible for launching the emulator? The OK button should be available when you select any non-folder item. Any answer to this? Does RCB work in Mac OS X? Can someone tell me how to select the "mame.app", which is an app, but in some weird way, it appears as a folder to your program. It's not a folder, though. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - Avatarass - 2012-08-26 Hello, fellow RCB users. So, in order to make the XBMC to Emulator transition smoother, I tried simply switching around commands, making XBMC minimize after the launch of emulator. Of course that didn't work, since emulator would be launched, but XBMC would await for closing of the emulator in order to return to its python script. Now, I tried to change the launcherNonXbox launch sequence to the code below, in order to create a new thread, in order to bypass that. The thread was supposed to separate the emulator stuff and the main python script, allowing XBMC to wait sometime and then minimize. However I got the same result as before. So what did I get wrong? Code: def cmdLaunchers(cmd, romCollection): RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - sudopinion - 2012-08-26 (2012-08-24, 08:06)teeedubb Wrote: Is it possible to launch batch files in windows with RCB?

It includes a batch-file launcher which minimizes and then restores xbmc. Source is included. http://code.google.com/rom-jacket/ RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - malte - 2012-08-27 Dutchuser Wrote:I have already tried an application called UltraMon, but it only allows me to start the emulator on my third monitor via a setting in the properties of a shortcut.

It's not a folder, though.There are Mac users that are able to launch games via RCB. But I don't know how they managed it. I understood that they had to choose a file inside the app folder. But I might be wrong. Avatarass Wrote:So, in order to make the XBMC to Emulator transition smoother, I tried simply switching around commands, making XBMC minimize after the launch of emulator. Of course that didn't work, since emulator would be launched, but XBMC would await for closing of the emulator in order to return to its python script.Maybe you can solve this with using the Popen mode for launching games. This should go back to XBMC immediately and execute the remaining commands.

In order to make it work on Linux machine I had to change it to: proc=subprocess.Popen([cmd], shell=True) proc.communicate() .... while that worked, I didn't get anywhere because I experienced the same exact problem. That was the reason I decided to do multitasking. RE: [RELEASE] Rom Collection Browser - Browse and launch emulator game ROMs - tranceology3 - 2012-08-28 Has anyone been able to launch Final Burn Alpha? I know there is FBA Shuffle that works, but I prefer to stick with the official build.
