dozy Wrote:Love your plugin, and it appears to work just fine on Mac OSX (10.6.6) for some emulators and all the scraping of metadata works like a charm.Good to hear that it works at all. There have been some Mac users in the past weeks that had problems with launching games from XBMC in general.
dozy Wrote:With many emulators on mac, however, it is impossible to turn off the first dialog box that opens with the emulator (asking which rom to open). However, by simply launching a rom file from finder (.smc, .nes, etc) the correct emulator will open the rom and run in full screen by default.Is this problem related to certain roms or certain emulators? If it happens for certain roms then it also may be a problem with whitespaces and quotes in the rom name.
The problem is that if I set up Rom Collection browser to point at my emulators (nestopia, bsnses, etc) it will open a new instance of that emulator (and the accompanying dialog box) without actually executing the selected rom.
Anyway, you can check the command line that RCB is trying to use in xbmc.log. Maybe you can try to launch this command from a shell and modify it until it works like expected. Then try to modify your emuCmd and params to the new command.
You could also try to run the emulators in solo mode. Then you could add a separate launcher to the command in applaunch.sh.
