Not sure how to do this on Mac but I am sure there is one available. When you opened the shell just enter the command with the correct parameters and see if it works. You don't really need this step, it is just to clarify if it works in general before you start messing around with RCB.
open -a /Applications/Snes9x.app /path/game.smc
If this works you can try to do the same thing from RCB. In this case I guess you need to use "open" as emulator cmd and -a /Applications/Snes9x.app "%ROM%" as emulator params.

I use Dolphin as a wii emulator in XBMCBuntu and it works fine in the lxde desktop evironment. I found a need to toggle the "esc emulator cmd" to the off position as the default hotkeys are to use esc to stop the emulator itself. Once a change is made to the emulator to the hotkey to stop from esc to something else, the emu loads, but I lose the abilty to have any input to the emulator.
1. The solo mode statement above is (afaik) only windows related because there have been problems with XBMC hanging after the emulator is launched. I have never seen this behaviour on linux.
2. Why should the solo mode not work for you? It was not possible to use solo mode with XBMCLive (without installing a separate window manager) but it should be no problem with XBMCbuntu.
3. "esc emulator cmd" has nothing to do with esc key. It just uses a different way to "write" the path to your roms on the command line. So, if you have trouble with roms not launching, toggle the "esc emulator cmd" parameter. Otherwise just leave it as is.
boblablah Wrote:the command line I am using is something like "/usr/games/dolphin-emu" with the arguements of " -e -b %ROM%"In this case I think you should try to use the solo mode. There are other options preventing XBMC from handling the input but iirc they are all quite tricky and cause other problems.
It loads, and I can play, but i essentially need to ssh into the box and restart xbmc when I am done playing, since the inputs seem to stick with xbmc rather than the current window focus... any ideas to make this cleaner?

I am not aware of any issues with upgrading from Dharma to Eden. To be on the safe side you could backup your MyGames.db and config.xml but RCB should not change anything during update. Only major thing that changed is that the solo mode feature works technically different (autoexec.py is replaced by RCB service). But this should not have any effect for the user.
