Thank You..

Ferdnand.... Keep up the good work.....
Do you select the right scraper (MAMEWorld) before start a scan? Do you activate the scrapers to get the informations? Do you read the User guide ?

Hey bruv I need some help with zsnes. When I start a game the emu is off screen to the right and it's like half xbmc and half zsnes, is there a way round this and thank you for all the help.

Do you have activated the "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" option into XBMC video settings? Do you have setup ZSNES to start into full screen (zsnesl.cfg file)?

Morning bruv sorry for the late response I could browse but not post anything as my broadband played up. Its still the same problem with zsnes I configured zsnes to open full screen and made sure to select xbmc to use window mode. When I try to open a game from zsnes it opens in full taking up the whole screen. I'm gonna try with a new zsnes probably I messed up the configuration.

Hey there,

Just discovered this great add on. I was wondering, yesterday I added my SNES collection. I already had all the boxes en shots downloaded from emumovies, so I did a scan without downloading thumbs or fanart, but linked it all to the things I had on my HD. Worked like a charm.
Now I was wondering, is it still possible to download the description of the games, not just game by game, but as a total (don't want to click each game seperately), even though I already completely added/imported the SNES collection in ALA?

Sorry for the NOOB question, I'm just beginning with this tool and I can't seem to do this ...

Thanks.

Inot the WIKI page the default command line is to use the custom video mode of ZSNES.
Code:
-m -s -v 41 "%rom%"
But the custom mode of the ZSNES is surely not properly configurated for your display (screen resolution). I think you will ne to manually edit the zsnesw.cfg configuration file and set the right resolution for the custom mode.

In general manner, first thing to do with emulator is to install and configure them independently of XBMC and Advanced Launcher. When you have found the right configuration parameters for the emulator you can use it with advanced launcher.

You need to set the "Import during scan option" for data / thumbs and fanart at "automatic". You need to select the right data scraper (I suggest you to use AllGame) : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=5#p5

If you already have all the thumbs and the fanarts files, right named, you effectively do not need to import them during scan. Now to automatically import data, just start a scan... Select Add Items and Scan New items.

Thanks for the help, I will try this tonight after work!

Big cheers for the fast reply!

Stupid question. What to put under "select the platform..." if the game is for windows. I mean. It offers me everything from DOS to Android to Macintosh but not windows games?

Ok total confused here so need some help Smile

Got my xbox360 controller running under dharma xbmc, everything working as it should. I can launch zsnes through advanced launcher and run as normal (all buttons mapped in zsnes). The program is focus. Using the A button works both in Zsnes but under the hood on xbmc. So when i exit xbmc interprets all those A button presses as selection and tries to repeatedly launch applications again. How do i remove focus from xbmc to zsnes then return back to xbmc in the place i left ?

You will have to use an intermediate launcher script (.bat or .sh) to control XBMC when you are using ZSNES (suspend or close XBMC). So XBMC will not interpret the pressed keys.

Suspend XBMC : under Windows or Linux
Close XBMC : under Windows or Linux

It may solve your problem.

Personally, I use Pinnacle Game Profiler. It can automatically apply different control profiles depending on the program currently active.
