As an exemple there is fatal fury 2 : "Fatal Fury 2 / Garou Densetsu 2 - arata-naru tatakai"

http://maws.mameworld.info/maws/romset/fatfury2

Sometime there is "/" in a date or it happen when a game has different name regarding the country.

I don't think there is other forbiden chars.

Thank you very much. It will help me to reproduce the error and quickly fix the bug. Advanced launcher contain already some runtime to fix forbidden characters, but I could miss some.


- zugol - 2011-06-26

I just disvored that I was using "Launcher" and not "Advanced launcher"... So now everthing is ok even with "/" characters.

You dit a really awesome job and I'm sorry for bothering you with silly questions... Mame roms have been imported with clean perfect names.

I spend hours for creating my own Launcher.xml and it take 1' to get it with the last version...

I'm really sorry for wasting your time.


Xbox 360 wireless Controller - k3ilbasa - 2011-06-26

I'm sure this has been answered many times before, but I can't seem to find where. I have a revo 3700 running xbmc live. I am trying to get the zsnes emulator working with my wireless xbox 360 controller. Problem is, when I launch through advanced launcher, my controller keeps controlling xbmc and not the emulator. I tried using ~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/keymap.xml to set the controller as a joystick but it is still working for xbmc. What am I doing wrong?


- bakito - 2011-06-27

Hello everyone,here is my problem ,i launch pcsx2 via an autoit script that close xbmc when emu start then relaunch it when i quit playing,this to keep all my resource for the emulation ( which is demanding for my computer) and i wanted to know if i can get the same autoit script for dolphin because the emu works well without xbmc but through it my frame-rate is not quite the sameSad

by the way thanks to the guy who make the pcsx script ( sorry i don't remember his name)

thanks!!

~/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps/keymap.xml is only to control XBMC. Also when XBMC is running it keeps monitoring and capturing the controller actions. What you can do is to suspend XBMC when using the emulator. You will found a script here that will do the job : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=39

I have replied to your question one Advanced Launcher dedicated board. You not really need and autoit script for Dolphin like for PCSX2. A .bat script will be enough to do the job : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=323#p323


- bakito - 2011-06-29

thanks angelscry but i've already try the .bat file with no success ( i posted one reply in this thread too...) it's just goes black for a fraction of second then get back to xbmc,it did not close or anything and dolphin is not starting...
i'm wondering what i'm doing wrong...i manage to get it work with autoit but when it come back to xbmc it did not have focus and i have to left click on it to make it so...maybe my autoit script is bad...(i edit the pcsx2 script with dolphin.exe instead...) well sorry to bother you again with my problem!
i really don't know what i must doSad

i just came back from the other thread...thx for the anwser i'll try your script as soon as possible and keep you posted...
big thanks!!

well i'll try and it still doesn't work...goes black for an instant and that's it....nothing close or start...


Will this work on XBMC4Xbox 3? - lobinski - 2011-06-29

Hi,
I've got this nicely set up on my PC and running fine, but i was wondering if advanced launcher will enable me to run emulators on my Xbox original with XBMC 3.0 (stable) installed?

Sorry if this has been answered a million times, couldnt find anything via the search bar Big Grin

Do you have activated the "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" option that is present into XBMC system settings?

I do not think so. Advanced Launcher is dedicated to run with Dharma and pre-eden version of XBMC. I have never test it on older version or on Xbox console.


- bakito - 2011-06-30

yes i did,the weirdest part is that if i just launch dolphin without playing with my 360 pad and come back to xbmc it just run fine but if i use it when i quit dolphin xbmc is not responding ( must click on it to re-focus) so for now i attribute "left click" on my remote control but well...it's not "elegant" ( by the way i seem to have the same problem with pcsx2...)Shocked
so for now I'll try to add a "left click function" to the end of my autoit script so i automatically regain control of xbmc but...well i understand nothing in the documentationHuh and i don't know if i even could do that with autoit...
and i still wonder why the batch script don't work it seem pretty easy but Confused

anyway thanks for your replies angelscry!


- bakito - 2011-06-30

ho by the way it was you who made the autoit script for pcsx2 in the first place and i couldn't remember it, so thank you for that!!!

" il faut rendre à César ce qui est à César"

couldn't i just add an argument after "run ....xbmc.exe" so it is above the other windows? when i'm testing i just noticed that xbmc windows appear behind other open windows on my desk...could i make it open in the front?

like : Run ( '"H:\Interface\xbmc\XBMC.exe"' "in the front" ) ( yeah i know it's silly but i do not codeBlush

thank you for your time!

Hey Angel,

I have a question. I added a launcher for my genesis game collection. I linked fanart and thumbs to all the files in the launcher.
Now, I created a new directory with other (better) fanart in it. I have edited the launcher to point the fanart to the new directory.
Now I would like to update all my content, meaning, I want the new fanart to be linked to the files. But I can't manage to do this. I pressed the 'add items' button and did a automatic scan, but it did not result in new fanart.

So my question is, is there a way to accomplish this, without having to remove again the whole launcher and start from scratch with this particular launcher?

Thanks,
Grave
