Haohmaru Wrote:Sadly it didn't worked either after I've set it up with the close script. The emu didn't started and xbmc has restarted.Problem may comes from your system configuration.
Thx for the help anyway I'm shure it has nothing to do with this great launcher anyway.
Haohmaru Wrote:There is still one minor thing that bothers me. Gens / GS runs fine with the launcher but its not that great as a Sega emulator like Kega Fusion is. I just can't get it to launch. If I set it up the same way as I did with gens and I start a game than xbmc vanishes for a fraction of a sec than comes back.Do you want to start Kega fusion from Ubuntu Live 10.04 or from XBMC Live?
I've tried to launch it with the xbmc close and the suspend script but none of them worked.
If I start Kega Fusion in Ubuntu Live 10.04 i got no problems.
Is there a way to start it in xbmc live ?
I have also problems with Kega-Fusion on my Linux system... more complicated than yours... I'm not able ti install it. So, I cannot really help you on that case. Sorry.

i didnt 100% understand you but if ive interpreted you correctly- no ive never edited this xml before.
i can certainly try to edit accordingly but tbh all the fanart and thumbs are working perfectly, its just the actual launching of the programs that dont work.
I normally edit my xmls using noteapad as im not aware of any decicated xml editors, can you point me in the direction of one? (free preferably).
Thanks for your help so far,
Grangey

oh and after reading the xml i see what you mean, but note for the applications that look like that- its because i havnt entered in any fan art and left things like args blank- so i guess this is what the program does by default- all of these files launch correctly though exactly as they should (as the are standard exe launches). The difficulty im having is getting the lnks to launch into the appropriate actual file (as its done using the other method-the emulator style one)- as it just seems to launch into the main exe file which im forced to select when creating this setup rather than the respectivly linked lnk files.
I wonder if there is some way of creating an exe which tells it to launch the correct lnk files, does that make sense?

The program is not writed to do manage XML tags like that.

Does anyone recommend a SNES emulator that would work well with this? Thanks for the reply!

When I go to add a new launcher for an emulator, I only see drive "I:" as a selection. I can't see my C drive or anything. I think someone else had this problem before, but I wasn't able to find it easily since this thread is almost 200 pages long now.

Remove any discs from the cd/dvd tray, unmount any usb thumbdrives or external hard drives and try again.

This is how we have to do now since the release of Dharma. This is not just specific to Advanced Launcher but for all the add-ons

Understand, but why if I have no drives in DVD-rom does it work. If I forget a disk in the drive, I have to remove it, restart XBMC and then it`s okay. And this is not just Advanced Launcher, I understand that.
