- Angelscry - 2012-01-28 NobodyHere Wrote:It would be for something like say.... ZDoom, or any other number of source ports out there.Never used ZDoom, but by quickkly take a look at it's WIKI page I think I understand what you mean. If you want to start ZDoom like this : Code: zdoom.exe -skill 4 -warp 24 -file file1.wad Code: zdoom.exe -skill 4 -warp 24 -file file2.wad file3.wad file3.wad But, what do can do is to use .lnk shortcuts instead. You just have to create different .lnk shortcuts for zdoom.exe, but each one with different command lines (as above). Then put all the .lnk files into a same directory, name them differently (for example, ZDoom with option 1.lnk, ZDoom with option 2 and 3.lnk, etc...) and use this .lnk files with a file launhcer as described here : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=File_shortcuts - st graveyard - 2012-01-29 Hello Angel, I think ALA contains the same bug as RCB regarding scraping from MOBYGAMES. When exporting the data to nfo files, the developer and publisher are not placed in the files. Could you have a look at this? Thanks, Grave - DANGERDAN - 2012-01-29 When i use n64 images none of the view types display it with the right proportion, is this a fault with the skin or the program addon ??. Pc games work fine. - rickster1978 - 2012-01-29 Thanks for that angelscry, apologies if it seemed a bit obvious but I am a bit new to this. With your help I now have advanced launcher running dolphin. All working nicely. Just one quick question, apologies if I'm asking a daft question but I'm having a bit of trouble getting the wiimote to work with dolphin. I use a Logitech dinovo mini for xbmc and thought the Bluetooth dongle that came with would work with xbmc. Do I need to buy another Bluetooth dongle or should it work? I'm using windows 7 xbmc version dharma on an Asus Eeebox. Hope that helps. - Angelscry - 2012-01-29 st graveyard Wrote:Hello Angel,Ok... Mobygames must have change the way they store/display developers and publishers information of their website. I will try to fix this for today. Thank you very much for the feedback. - Angelscry - 2012-01-29 DANGERDAN Wrote:When i use n64 images none of the view types display it with the right proportion, is this a fault with the skin or the program addon ??.It is the fault of the skin that did not display wide covers for its program add-ons view. - Angelscry - 2012-01-29 rickster1978 Wrote:Thanks for that angelscry, apologies if it seemed a bit obvious but I am a bit new to this. With your help I now have advanced launcher running dolphin. All working nicely.Normally you can use different bluetooth devices with a same bluetooth dongle. Now the question is : Does the bluetooth dongle coming with your Logitech Dinovo allows you to use other device or does it only works with the Dinovo (due to Logitech limitation)? I don't know. Maybe you will have the answer by asking your question on the Logitech support website. - Angelscry - 2012-01-29 st graveyard Wrote:Hello Angel,I have just make some tests with several N64 games. Import of publisher information is working and also the export to .nfo files : Code: <game> Version 1.7.5 - Angelscry - 2012-01-29 Version 1.7.5 : This new version of Advanced Launcher add a new features for Linux users, that will automatically disable the LIRC command when XBMC is out of focus. Thank you to Aubrien for the tips.This version also slightly modify the launchers context menu organization (see following screenshot) : This version also fix bugs that occurring when using the thumb/fanart local import option. Previously the images where saved as .jpg files even if the images were .png or .gif files. It is now fixed. This new option also fix real default thumb and fanart paths for launchers. This paths are now by default defined into dedicated XBMC userdata (instead of blank ones) Advanced Launcher subdirectories. This paths could always been modified into Advanced Launcher settings. Finally this version clean again text strings. Changelog :

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 even working... so there is something wrong into you controler/emulator mapping configuration. Thanks for all of your help Anglescry. I have everything working pretty much the way I want it now. Just to let you know, my Xbox controller isn't mapped with XBMC, but I THINK I know what was causing the problem. I have 6 working emulators, but I was only losing control of my D-pad in mame and no other emulators. I originally had mame set up to run with scanlines and also to skip the game info on startup. This was working fine with Maximus Arcade as well. For Maximus, I was using this argument: %file -skip_gameinfo -nowindow For some reason, when I ran my mame games from the Adavanced Launcher in XBMC, I noticed that scanlines were not present. I used the arguments to run MAME that were on the wiki page: -inipath "C:\Program Files\mame location" "%rom%" I instead switched to these arguments: "%rom%" -skip_gameinfo -nowindow Once I did this, my scanlines were back and I don't appear to be losing my D-pad button maps anymore. Removing the -inipath seems to have fixed my problem. Thanks for all of the help. - Angelscry - 2012-01-29 shalamigri Wrote:Thanks for all of your help Anglescry. I have everything working pretty much the way I want it now.The inipath argument is used to indicate were is stored the mame.ini configuration file to load and use. Because, when you start MAME it always load the mame.ini file present into the working directory. So, I think that if you start MAME out of XBMC, the loaded mame.ini file will be the one stored into the MAME installation directory. But if you start MAME from Advanced Launcher/XBMC, the loaded mame.ini file will be the one stored into the XBMC installation directory. Hummmm... by explaining you with.... I do not remember if a I fixed or not the working directory problem since I have made the MAME tutorial. BTW... Wiki configuration pages are commom Advanced Launcher/Emulator setup. It could always have some variations depending how you have configured your emulators and how you want to use them. - st graveyard - 2012-01-29 Angelscry Wrote:I have just make some tests with several N64 games.

I'm having problems with Sega Genesis and for example the game "3 ninjas kick back". Thanks for trying to help. Also, I'm talking about publisher and developer fields...No problem on my side. The publisher/developer info have been perfectly imported using MobyGame info scraper. And here is the content on the generated NFO file. The publisher tag is filled : Code: <game> - Aubrien - 2012-01-30 I did a little more research on the LIRC.Stop and LIRC.Start commands and following the suggestion of a developer on another thread I looked into the xbmc-send command. I found that I can send commands to XBMC from within my shell scripts and I can accomplish the same thing without needing to modify the addon directly. The final result of my research and testing can be found here... http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=1004261&postcount=1994 This may actually be better than modifying the addon because it gives the user the freedom to choose if they want LIRC to be disabled when XBMC is in the background. I can think of a case where a user wants XBMC to accept input from a remote while they are launched into another application in the foreground. - MikeQuell - 2012-01-30 Hey guys, New poster here, I love the app. I was doing some searching here and I was trying to find anyone that has had issues with the auto-scraper. How do I know if it's attempting to update my library of ROMs? Do I still need to update them one at a time like a previous poster was discussing? I set the scraper option to auto after the library of ROMs were imported. Maybe this was part of the issue. Thanks guys. |
