iced00d Wrote:Great script but I am running into a problem. I'm running the latest Ubuntu (12.10) and the latest XBMC. I've loaded MAME through the package manager and can launch it from a terminal window without a problem and it finds the roms. When I lauch XBMC and have RCB on autoupdate, it says "First 10 games could not be imported continue anyways?". No matter if i select yes or no nothing shows up in RCB. I've ensured that the paths and file names are correct. The odd thing is that as stated, I can run MAME from a terminal window and run any roms I have. What am I doing wrong? I'd like to use this as my all-in-one media center. Thanks in advance..Did you use the offline MAME scraper to import the games? If not, check this for instructions.
Not Sure Wrote:I am using RCB 1.0.1 and it seems to exclude games from the library that have scraped with duplicate names. So for example, I have:In current release there is no way to do this automatically. RCB needs unique game names per Rom Collection. Only chance is to change the game title inside the nfo file manually and import the game again using the local nfo scraper.
Act-Raiser (USA)
Act-Raiser (Japan) (T-En)
During scraping I used Interactive mode with local artwork and selected the same game for both titles. RCB generated correct NFO files, but it only displays "Act-Raiser (USA)" in the library and lists the second one in scrapeResult_possibleMismatches.txt. Is there some way to display both? I don't care if they have the same name in RCB as I am using artwork to differentiate them.
There was another request before to use the original rom names as game names. This could solve your problem. I will check if I can include it.

Whatever the problem is, it only seems to only occur in titles (game descriptions look fine).
Not Sure Wrote:Other than that, I agree with the guy who asked about displaying the screenshots non-stretched. I think games look much more attractive in their original aspect ratios.This is skin dependent. It should be ok with Aeon MQ3 or with the default skins that RCB ships. What skin are you using?
