- Angelscry - 2012-01-27 shalamigri Wrote:Anyone running FCEU for NES with this add on? None of the arguments I use are working. I'm also having issues setting up Daphne too. I'm VERY new to Daphne, but the emulator is working under Maximus Arcade.Have you take a look at the WIKI pages (http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=Main_Page)? They contain Advanced Launcher configuration information for most a the WORKING emulators. Arguments for MAME (http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=MAME_-_Windows#Windows) is : Code: -inipath "C:\Program Files\mame" "%rom%" Code: "%rom%" retro11 Wrote:This answer is a little vague but from what I remember when I set up Daphne was that within Daphne there is an option to show the command line used for launching games. I copied this line and created separate .bat files each game.That's what I remember about Daphne emulator. Each game need a specific command line and configuration file. So the solution give by retro11 is a the way to proceed. - GSP-UFC - 2012-01-27 Angelscry Wrote:Ho.... this Fusion !!!! Hummmm... seems that XBMC and Fusion have a display conflict. What you can try : Check that you have activated the "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" option that is present into XBMC system settings. Your first suggestion worked. Thank you! - shalamigri - 2012-01-27 Thanks for the fast response. I'll try this out ASAP!! - shalamigri - 2012-01-27 Ok. Everything seems to be working now. The batch file I made for Daphne works, but I can't seem to locate the file when trying to select it for the game I'm working on through Advanced Launcher in XBMC. Do I have to convert the batch to an exe file using Autoit or is there a way to locate the batch file in XBMC? - Angelscry - 2012-01-27 shalamigri Wrote:Ok. Everything seems to be working now.

Do I have to convert the batch to an exe file using Autoit or is there a way to locate the batch file in XBMC?Why you can't locate the .bat file when trying to select it? You cannot see it or you cannot acces the directory? For this game, are you using a "standalone launcher" or a "file launcher"? - shalamigri - 2012-01-27 Ok. I switched to the Standalone launcher and I could see the batch file then. The batch file opens up the Daphne window behind XBMC and is not maximized though. When I run the batch file outside out XBMC, it runs fine. I pretty much have everything setup now. I still have to do some tweaking for a few emulators. For example, when I load the Playstation emulator, it opens up behind the XBMC window and is not in fullscreen. Mame, Super Nintendo and Nintendo all work fine loading from the Advanced Launcher. One issue that has me stomped is that for some reason, I'm losing my Mame controls on the up,down,left,right d pad. I'm using an XBOX controller and for some reason, the up,down,left,right controls are automatically going to the left analog stick. I've been running this emulator for a few years and this just started happening when I started using the Advanced Launcher(AL). I'll map the controls to the Dpad in MAMES settings and the games runs fine. I open MAME from the AL and the controls get automatically mapped the analog stick. All of the action, start and coin buttons remain intact. Strange!!! I'm using LM Remote Keymap and just need to do some editing to close the emulators out as well. Thanks for the help. - Angelscry - 2012-01-27 shalamigri Wrote:Ok. I switched to the Standalone launcher and I could see the batch file then.

Mame, Super Nintendo and Nintendo all work fine loading from the Advanced Launcher.Same as before. If your emulators do not start into directly into fullscreen : look if you have the possibility to force the fullscreen mode using the command line (argument into Advanced Launcher); edit the emulator configuration or .ini file to force fullscreen mode; some emulator (like Kega Fusion or Gens, I don not remeber exactly) start with their last windows state (windows or fullscreen). I this case start the emulator, switch to fullscreen mode, then kill the emulator (ALT+F4). shalamigri Wrote:One issue that has me stomped is that for some reason, I'm losing my Mame controls on the up,down,left,right d pad.

If your controller is mapped a certain way with XBMC and another way with your emulators, because both a running at the same time... and still active you could have effectivelly problems. What you can try is to suspend XBMC when the emulator is running using this small script : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5. If it is not working, you can try is to close XBMC when the emulator is running using this small script : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=6. If it is not even working... so there is something wrong into you controler/emulator mapping configuration. - shalamigri - 2012-01-27 Thanks. All is working now. This did the trick: "Check that you have activated the "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" option that is present into XBMC system settings." I also had to create a new ini file for Kfusion for some reason. I wasn't getting any options to set the full screen dimensions for some reason. Once I was able to switch it to 800x600 after creating a new ini file, it worked fine. Thanks a bunch! - rickster1978 - 2012-01-28 Hi all hoping someone can help me. i've got dolphin working outside of xbmc but no joy through advanced launcher at all. ive set up the launcher and added the games. advanced launcher finds them but will not play them. ive added a log, hoping ive done it right, first attempt http://pastebin.com/DEUePrwe - Angelscry - 2012-01-28 rickster1978 Wrote:Hi allPost the content of your launchers.xml files located into the Advanced Launcher folder into userdata folders of XBMC. The log file did not contain any error, so I think you have done something wrong with your Dolphin launcher configuration. - rickster1978 - 2012-01-28 http://pastebin.com/AW6rgb6e that should be the one. - Angelscry - 2012-01-28 rickster1978 Wrote:http://pastebin.com/AW6rgb6eArguments for Dolphin application are : Code: /b /e "%rom%" - NobodyHere - 2012-01-28 Would it be possible to add an option to launch multiple items, instead of just one in future releases? - Angelscry - 2012-01-28 NobodyHere Wrote:Would it be possible to add an option to launch multiple items, instead of just one in future releases?What do you mean by multiple items?
- NobodyHere - 2012-01-28 It would be for something like say.... ZDoom, or any other number of source ports out there. If I wanted to pass ≥2 items to the port, Would that be possible? As it stands, I can pass a single main game file to it, but not any of the numerous addons. |
