I set up Rom Collection Browser on two of my machines (one XP, one Win7, both 32bit) and I'm having the same issues on both:
1) Mame will not launch unless I dump the contents of the Mame directory into the XBMC directory. Maybe I'm setting something up incorrectly, but I can reproduce the problem via the command prompt: If I type the exact same command RCB is using ("C:\Mame\Mame.exe" C:\Mame\roms\mk.zip") it gives me an error saying the rom is incomplete.
Using command prompt, if I change the directory to my mame folder first, it works: (literally typing "cd C:\mame", hitting enter, then running "C:\Mame\Mame.exe" C:\Mame\roms\mk.zip". I noticed when Rom Collection Browser launches a command window, it starts in C:\Program Files\XBMC, so I thought I'd move mame and it's subfolders...and it worked perfect! It would be cool if I could put Mame back in it's own folder, but if there's no workaround, I'm fine leaving it where it is.
2) I can't get a 3DO emulator working properly. Has anyone had any success with this? I tried setting it up with 4DO and I can get 4DO to launch, but it doesn't load a game.
