I added an SNES library, but I forgot to set it to scan for images and such while adding. So, I removed the library from Advanced Launcher and planned to reimport it, but with the scan set.

However, now whenever I go to set up AL, I get the following pop-up "Loading directory, retrieved 0 items" that never goes away. I can cancel, but then I can't do anything else. Selecting another menu item just results in the window closing and going back to my add-on list.

The debug log states the following:

00:05:35 T:1128 NOTICE: ERROR: Main::get_xml_source (1409) - [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\one800higgins\\AppData\\Roaming\\XBMC\\userdata\\addon_data\\plugin.program.advanced.launcher\\launchers.xml'
00:05:35 T:1128 NOTICE: Launcher: found 0 launchers

• If so, could you post here the content of this file (using pastebin service)
  
• If not, does the XBMC user have write access to the C:\\Users\\one800higgins\\AppData\\Roaming\\XBMC\\userdata\\addon_data\\plugin.program.advanced.launcher\\ folder?

Just wondering, how do you open individual ROMS under programs such as Dolphin or PCSX2? Every time I try to launch a ROM it just opens the program. I'm sorry for asking this question, but I just can't find the solution.

• For PCSX2 : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=PCSX2

I came again with my problem of launchers that disappears...
but I know why now...I try the "launcher tool" add on to get rid of explorer at start up and ....boom!
I check and it's my launcher from external drive that disappears...
I guess that when windows launch without explorer it doesn't check for this particular drive and then they vanished from the launcher.xml ( litteraly vanished because it goes from 1,5 mega to 0,700 mega )
so ....well not really a problem but launcher.xml remplace itself wich is surprising..well for me as I understand nothing to code
is there a way to make it "no rewritable" ?

Yes it still possible. Nothing has change between Dharma and Eden. Here is the tutorial : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gMFJcxdcEg

I'm using a Mac Mini and having problems getting the emulators to work. The roms are scraped(?), but any time I hit enter to play a game, XBMC goes to windowed mode, the emulator icon shows up on the dock, but doesn't load the game. I saw a video where someone clicked on a game and it started immediately and XBMC stayed fullscreen. Am I using the wrong emulators? I was looking at SDL MESS, but smoke was coming out of my ears reading on how to get it working. MAME is confusing as well. Is there anything like a "play games on XBMC for ultra dummies" guide floating around?
