Angelscry, I will gladly delete this post if I'm stepping on your toes.
I personally use epsxe.

For what I know, the Transparency skin do not support yet the display of additional informations and fanarts for program add-ons like Advanced Launcher. You need to ask to the Transparency skin developers to add views that supports those information. To add it as a favorite to the home menu: Select the launcher; Define it as favorite; Go to the skin settings menu; Add you favorite as submenu. If it is not working ask to Transparency skin developers.

This is a bug of the Windows XBMC Dharma version. You will found some trick to fix this here.

ghostelement Wrote:Feature Request - Create ability to add launcher sections / categories. For instance, I would like to make a section for all my PC game launchers to go in, rather than have them all mixed in with my emulator launchers.

Here's an example of the layout that I want:

Advanced launcher\PC games\Borderlands

Right now, it's like this:

Advanced Launcher\Borderlands
Yes it may be a good idea. But, until XBMC will not be able to do this for movies, music or videos, I will also not be able to it using programs add-on functionalities.

There is maybe a way to do it using the search engine. I have to check if it will be for example possible to add a game system search filter to only display "IBM PC Compatible" games and save the result as favorite. Not sure it is possible. I will see.

The actual way to do it, is the one explained by timdog82001 : duplicate the Advanced Launcher addon :
timdog82001 Wrote:In the past I've done a sort of a hack to achieve this by making copise of the script and renaming it to whatever genre I want to use that version of the script for. So, I name one of the versions of the script "Classic Video Games," another "PC Games," another "Tools," etc. Kind of a pain though, especially if it's a frequently updated script that you'd like to keep up with. I gave up doing that a while back.

I'm using Transparency skin. Shows fanart and box images, but doesn't display the additional info. I'll post a screenshot when I get home tonight for anyone interested.

Yes and so, that is a problem related to the Transparency skin not to the Advanced Launcher add-on. No

Yah, no worries - I think it looks pretty good as is and like it anyways.

Works with AEON65 MOD - cancerboyuofa - 2010-12-21

First off, great Addon!

Thought I would let you know that using the launcher mod for AEON65 theme, you can have the info panel as well as fanart.

Although not perfect, it works with the Showcase View (no info panel), and the Tall View. Info panel is a little rough and needs some font work, but otherwise it works great. I suppose you can add it to your initial listing of mods?

Here is the original post with the mod, and the verification.
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=83165&page=5

I have now also verified that this mod works with Advanced Launcher as well!

I have included a screenshot.

As a side note, with the last 2 updates, I cannot add any new roms, just get the script failed addon.py error like above. (Running Win7 64bit.)

I have just added it to the first post. Thank you for the information.

Yes I have actually some problem to fix this error. I'm not able to reproduce it on my system... so not easy to fix it. But I think I was able to do it with the version 0.8.6. Thank you for your feedback. Wink
