This is a problem now. I may add an exclude list in a later version but for now you could delete or rename these files before scanning. There is no way to delete DB entries from RCB but you could do it with a database editor if you feel fit enough to do this.
Quote:Not only that but alot of games have same name files so each game would need to be in a separate sub folder of the main directory(will it scan the subdirectories?)
Yes, it will scan sub directories. With version 0.6.1 you can also limit the depth with maxFolderDepth to prevent searching sub sub directories.
Quote:Yet another problem is some games even have the same filename to launch(like all the old Sierra games were launched in dos by changing to the right directory and typing in 'sierra.exe') So there might be 5 'Sierra.exe' games listed. Could the titles(not the filename.exe itself) be changed to reflect that one Sierra.exe is Police Quest 2 and another Sierra.exe is Spacequest 4?
It is possible if you use a separate game description file: http://code.google.com/p/romcollectionbr...escription

ATM I like the idea with an exclude list more (If it is just a list with "Install.exe", "Setup.exe", ...). If we end up with tons of excludes a positive list would be a better choice.

Never seen this. What system are you running (OS and XBMC)? And does it happen since you updated RCB or did you change anything else? The error looks more like an XBMC related thing but modification date also sounds like the new feature of config.xml checking. Can you provide a full log file?

When start an Amiga games with euae, emulator don't start. I have 4 errors on xbmc.log with gui.py .
Welcome, first Mac user
Can't test it here, so you have to help me to get this working. Maybe we need some little code changes to launch files on the MAC, I have to check how other plugins are doing this. Can you show me these 4 errors as a start?

any version that runs on your system and can be launched via command line.
