Finally fixed setup, and man this rounds out the HTPC nicely
Thanks to those posting their parameters in this thread (I used Dondi's for Project 64 and retroarch) I don't have tons of games, just my favorites from nes, snes, n64, genesis
Something I just added to my system for the first time is Steam/Origin. Lots of people dumping their never settle coupons on ebay, so I picked up Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, and Blood Dragon for $24 happily. I've been out of "real" PC gaming for a while, but it's nice to tax the hardware for once.
The problem I have is not related to RCB, forgive me for posting/cluttering but reading around this seems like a good place to ask for help
I followed the instructions to create shortcuts in a C:\Games folder and RCB scrapes them just fine. The problem I have is Origin won't launch Crysis 3 from any shortcuts (not even the one it created on the desktop). It's quite frustrating, but I let origin auto-start and auto-login everytime. With it running, clicking the crysis 3 desktop shortcut doesn't work. Clicking the exe from the program files installation folder doesn't work. The only way to actually play the game (for me) right now is to plug in a mouse and click the stinkin Crysis 3 game inside the Origin window. If I do that, the game starts and plays just fine. If I try *any* shortcut instead I get the following error: "Cryinput.dll failed to load"
Google is not my friend on this issue as *tons* of the search hits are crack related. After adding -crack to the query, the remaining search hits are people who cannot load the game *at all* and plenty of complaints towards EA/Origin. It basically works for me, I just can't get the shortcuts to work which is essential for RCB. Anyone else had/fixed this problem?
