Post Updated - Previous posts were hard to decipher, I've cleaned it up and combined some questions
Questions I had but solved, compiled in case others have same questions:
Problem: Artwork that I change locally does not seem to change.
Solution: Items were going into XBMC cache, clearing the textures cache file fixed this issue.
Problem: Videos not playing in some skins
Solution: Found previous post saying that skinners must correct this in their own themes. For now use a theme where it does work (I am using Aeon MQ4)
Problem: I had asked if there was a way to scrape with an XML file from Hyperlist (Hyperspins XML database) because of issues I was having with artwork in the above question about cache.
Solution: Since I corrected the cache problem above I didn't have that issue any more..but also found on the wiki how to use gamedesc text files which had helped a lot in scraping.
Problems or Questions still unresolved:
Problem: Is it possible for me to redirect the launcher file to another file instead of applaunch-vbs.bat. I want to write a small VBS script that is invisible that runs applaunch-vbs.bat so that I don't have a DOS box popping up.
Problem: One new question is with Aeon, on the mode that shows video, the little box placeholder for video is larger than the video size..is there a way to modify this so they fit together. See image

Problem: What does the message Control with id: 1100 could not be found mean every time I launch a game?
Problem: Save states don't work, I assume this is due to the script copying the rom file to a temp folder in appdata... but I can't seem to make it work no matter what. I don't want the popup in RCB asking about save states I want to be able to use normal savestates as I can in my emu (Zsnes in this case) as normal...I can't figure a way to do this aside from putting my save states in the tmp folder. (Edit tried copying to tmp they still don't work. They work fine when emulator is launched by itself...but from XBMC RCB..they won't)
For the record I can get saves working when I put in all the savestate params in the options, where when I launch a game it asks me which save to load. But I want to just load my saves IN GAME like normal without that menu popping up on game launch..is that possible? (Then again, the menu is kinda cool...however I might rather it just launch the last save then give me a list)
Thanks for your patience and awesome plugin
