I have a few questions about XBMC. I just set it up to work with my NES ROM collection (very large) and Nestopia (works great). Two problems I'm having...
1) It doesn't detect games till I add the artwork with scrapers. Okay, that's fine, I want that data anyway. I was able to scrape A-C before I had to cancel due to time constraints. Then when I started it back up to continue the scrape, it didn't recognize the artwork/data I had already scraped and wanted to start at the beginning. Is that normal? Is there a way to scrape without doing it all in one shot? It would take forever to scrape artwork/data for every NES game I have in one continuous shot.
2) I looked at the A-C games I've got loaded. The artwork only loaded for a few games. I figured it might have something to do with the file names with the [U], [J], etc tacked on at the end but some of the games were weird file names that worked. Then, I loaded it back up and different games had the pcitures/data loaded but ones that used to have artwork load didn't. Is it something with XMBC or is my computer struggling to load data/artwork? I was under the impression it would load everything quickly as it's all locally stored.
Thanks to anyone who can answer these questions. Really impressed with XMBC so far.
