I would like to thank the developer who created this plugin. For the last 3 years, I had been using GameEx and was happy with it. Recently, however, I upgraded my PC and I decided that I wanted to try something that worked within XBMC (for less overhead and a more seamless experience). Although at times it was tricky to get this to work just right, persistence paid off and everything works just right and more importantly, it looks much fancier than what I had with GameEx. It really looks impressive!
My only suggestion would be to add the only feature that I'm currently missing from GameEx (everything else RCB has exceeded GameEx). In GameEx, I was able to assign a button from my gamepad that would tell the emulator to close and return back to GameEx. For example, in one emulator, I could assign the button to close with an ESC command. In another emulator, I could assign the same button to close with an ALT + F4 command. Currently, there is no easy way to exit the emulator if I'm strictly using a gamepad. My current solution is Xpadder but I still like the feature within GameEX since I could assign different exit commands to the same button depending upon the emulator. Consequently, this is a feature that you might want to look into supporting in a future release.
Other than that, keep up the excellent work and thanks again for making this wonderful addon! XBMC is so much better because of it!
