CyberEvil Wrote:Here it goes (a bit large, was taken from just starting XBMC --> opening the RCB):Really strange. I don't see anything RCB related at the end of the log. RCB has loaded the games from DB and the skin is trying to display them. XBMC is still in the process of caching the images.
I tested it here again and everything is working with 5k db entries. I will test again with latest nightlies as I am still on RC3.

In here are hundreds of zip files
I add this path and the scan starts but I get a message saying "first 10 roms cannot be imported"
I click continue and it scans again but then I get the same message
gtjamesdad Wrote:I don't know if this is possible, but I would like to create a different structure for browsing my games. Like in XBMC, you have TV Show/Seasons/Episodes.This is not possible in current release. I am planning to add something like a dashboard that will have all consoles listed with the option to jump into the games for one console. But I am not sure if I will be able to start working on this in the next months. There are too many other issues that are more important to me.
So, I would like to have Emulator Type/ROMS.
I know you can use filtering to create different views of your collection. But switching to "filter" doesn't feel natural to me. So I was looking for a different method.
I am also thinking about reworking the filters the way the new filter feature works in XBMC. I am still not sure if I like this way of filtering more than the current RCB way. But it may be better to do it the same way as XBMC.
gtjamesdad Wrote:1) How difficult is it to "clone" or "instance" RCB?. I tried it today by just copying the folder and changing all references to script.games.rom.collection.browser into script.games.rom.collection.browser.pcgames. But it didn't work. Perhaps I am missing something.I never tried this and I don't know if this is possible. Never heard of anybody else who is doing this with RCB. Thats why we have the filters
Maybe I can try this out and report back in the next days.
gtjamesdad Wrote:2) Would an advanced playlist work? I know they work for music or videos, but unclear if they work for scripts/plugins.Same as above. I don't think so.
gtjamesdad Wrote:3) Any other ideas? Any tricks with any skins I can use?I know that Advanced Launcher works the way you suggest. Maybe it will be worth a try if you like this more. ALA also supports being duplicated to separate different launchers (so it does not seem to be impossible).
Ghostdivision Wrote:I am so close to having this working, when i launch zsnes through RCB i get no sound 90% of the time, im using windows 7 hdmi, wasapi passthrough.So, exiting the emulators already works?
If i load the game in zsnes outside xbmc it works fine with sound, can anyone help or offer advice?
Is this simply not going to work using wasapi, hdmi and trying to run emulators through xbmc?
Sorry, I am no expert with this. I am still dealing with a 3,5mm jack here. Maybe you could try to launch games in solo mode. It may happen that XBMC is still sitting on some audio ressources when you launch the emulator.
