When family/friends use Rom Collection Browser and accidentally go into the side menus they get confused, it would be really nice to have it fool proof. When you don't have a huge collection the filter isn't essential (or perhaps when you press up it just has a left/right system selector with icons).Maybe something like this will come when there is a dashboard as a start page. This will add a start page where you can select the console and maybe I could add an option not to show the filters on the games page.
Rikrok Wrote:Also I know this is a long shot malte but would you consider ever making a standalone version? RCB is the best frontend by far and it would be great to a streamlined version, free of XBMC for dedicated gaming/cabinet setups.No, I don't think so. RCB is only able to look nice because XBMC is providing all the skinning candy. So a standalone version would just be an XBMC version where all other features are ripped off. And it does not feel right to release a huge C++ program that does nothing else than starting a python script .
As a workaround it should be easy to create a modified skin start page that does not provide all the other stuff but immediately starts RCB. Or I could add an auto start option in RCB service.
Maybe the skinning option could be the way to go when RetroPlayer provides a games db and is fully integrated in XBMC.
