MrBump Wrote:0.8.6 and 0.8.7 have both given me addon.py script failed errors whilst trying to add images to the roms.
what logs do you need and where can i find them?
im running xbmc 10, on a live install.

TheHazel3yes Wrote:You did start pcsxr with GUI first, right? Because in the GUI you have to set some things (like the BIOS you have downloaded etc.). When you're done setup up things you load a game to see if everything is working.
After that you add

Code:

-nogui -cdfile

I also have to remind you that there are some games that don't run properly on this emulator. Some won't even start, so this could cause your black screen as well.
Another thing is the way you downloaded the iso/bin/whatever. Some I've seen were ecm'd (unecm them), some were CloneCD images... All my attempts to bring them into iso format didn't work. BUT: pcsxr can handle img and bin just fine, no need to convert to iso.

htpc guy Wrote:I got the emulator working fine on its own (bios installed and everything). Through the gui I can run FF7 by opening the .bin files and it works great. I just need to figure out how to get XBMC to run them without me having to manually point to the rom. I'll try your suggestion for loadcd and see if that helps. It will have to wait until I get home fro work though.

MrBump Wrote:Hopefully this can help. I can already see some error's in the log, but, not sure how to interprete them. Thanks guys.

Angelscry Wrote:If you talk about all the errors you have reported here in your last post this is the same error. The XBMC log file report a kind of cascading report errors. You have an error here, generation another error here, and so another error here, etc... The initial error is the last reported one like in your case :

Code:

File "/usr/lib/xbmc/system/python/python24.zip/urllib.py", line 225, in retrieve
tfp = open(filename, 'wb')
IOError: (13, 'Permission denied', '/home/xbmc/roms/n64/1080 Snowboarding (JU) [!]_thumb.jpg')

As you write here it the a permission access problem generating an error into XBMC itself and so into the Launcher. I'm happy that you solve it. Thank you also for your feedback.

Angelscry Wrote:But I have planned to work on the improvement of the emulators integration during next weeks (yesss... winter vacation !!!!) and I will put a look on PCSXR.

TheHazel3yes Wrote:If I remember right ALA gave me these cmd line options - maybe because PCSXR only is an updated version of pcsx and even is named pcsx (without the R), so ALA won't notice the difference. But since they both seem to use the same options, this doesn't matter.

Angelscry Wrote:Woaaa... Great view !!!! I think the SHADE skin may works as the other skins and because I have modded the Alaska.Revisited skin I could give you some tips to add an additionnal view.

First, you have to change the name of the ViewsFileMode.xml file to a unique one (like NewViewsFileMode.xml) Then you have to choose him an unique name (New_View_File_Mode for example), an unique control panel ID (over 500) and a unique label (like 40000) like this for your NewViewsFileMode.xml file.

Code:

<includes>
    <include name="New_View_File_Mode">  <---- HERE
        <!-- Browser -->
        <control type="panel" id="500">   <---- HERE
            <viewtype label="40000">icon</viewtype>  <---- HERE
            ...

You also have to change the all control panel ID references into your NewViewsFileMode.xml file. When it is done you have to edit the Includes.xml file and include your view file into the include list.:

Code:

    ...
    <include file="Viewtype_List.xml" />
    <include file="Viewtype_Banner.xml" />
    <include file="NewViewsFileMode.xml" /> <---- HERE
    <include file="Viewtype_Landscape.xml" />
    ...

Then you have to edit the MyPrograms.xml file to add view ID and the view name like this :

Code:

    <views>55,58,54,59,500</views> <---- HERE
    <defaultcontrol>55</defaultcontrol>
    <allowoverlay>yes</allowoverlay>
    <controls>
        <include>Global_Filter</include>
        <include>Viewtype_Files</include>
        <include>New_View_File_Mode</include> <---- HERE
        <include>Viewtype_List</include>
        ...

Finally you have to edit the strings.xml file to add the label of your view :

Code:

    ...
    <string id="40000">NEW VIEW MODE</string>  <---- HERE

    ...

You have to do all of this and be sure the the label, id, name and filename of you view is UNIQUE. If one of them is already used you view will not display of you will have problems.
