The only way I actually see to mix Wii games and PC Games is to create .bat scripts for each Wii games and then start these .bat scripts as stand alone launcher (like PC games).

If you want to use "folder.jpg" and "backdrop,jpg" images with Advanced launcher, Ithink the best way to proceed is to modifiy/edit the launchers.xml and replace <thumbs> and <fanarts> tags content with the corresponding "folder.jpg" and "backdrop,jpg" paths. If the goal of your program is to bring such kind of support, it may not be so difficult.

But when Im done playing the game and I press ESC it only closes the rom and keeps to Dolphin window open. I would like to be able to press ESC and then the rom closes along with the Dolphin Emu.

Right now I have this

Dolphin.exe /e "D:\Emulation\Gamecube\SUPER MARIO GALAXY.iso"

Then I save it as a .bat
Then I convert it to a .exe ( to launch from Advance Launcher)

That works to launch the game but when I exit the game by pressing esc the dolphin window is still up.

Do you know what else I can include in the bat file so when I press esc it just closes dolphin completely? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Quote:Add Network or Local drives
It will be possible that, for your first use of Advanced Launcher, you will be not able to see or access any of your network or local drives. To solve this you will have to do the following: Go back to the XBMC home-screen and select the "System" item (assuming you are using the "Confluence"-Skin which is default) - do not open the menu-item! -and press the down arrow to select the "File Manager" submenu. In the next screen add a source via the "Add Source" entrie. Now technically it does not matter what you add as a source. In order to use your whole hard-drive just add the whole hard drive to the sources, you won’t have any side-effects (except you will have to navigate more while creating new launchers).

Come to think of it I know I saw that parameter somewhere just never included it. But again thanks for the speedy response. I ended up including xpadder in the .bat file to start it when I start the game. Problem with that is now when i close dolphin emu, xpadder is still up. Would you happen to know either how to start xpadder minimized or just close when i end dolphin emu. I haven't done any searching for this question yet ( I will once im done with this post) but that's the next problem I'm having. Just want everything to look as seamless as possible.

Currently my .bat file is written like this:
start "" "C:\Xpadder\Xpadder.exe"
Dolphin.exe /b /e "C:\:Games\Gamecube\Super Smash Bros Melee\SSBM.gcm"

Which works just fine except once I press ESC all Dolphin windows close but the Xpadder window is still up.
So now I'm about to go research that question but if you know the answer the help is greatly greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for helping me the first time Angelscry.

I just found within the Xpadder program it has an option to start minimized this can work for now. Otherwise let me know if you know how to close it all with Dolphin emu.

• Advanced Launcher : to navigate through document files using XBMC+Remote and start them
  
• A document viewer (for .DOC files but preferably .PDF files)
  
• A application to map your remote buttons with the document viewer for navigation and close it (general people use Eventghost : http://www.eventghost.org/)
