Sorry, I am on a trip right now. But looping issue is fixed on my dev machine. Will provide a new release soon.

For instance, I want to change from NES to N64, and in between lies GBA and SNES, and when I scroll to N64 both GBA and SNES loads as well, maybe not the whole collection if I'm fast enough, but still.
And since RCB has a way of hanging when switching fast between collections it's not really a good solution.
Cheers!

I've also tried to add the whole hard drive as a source. This still does nothing to my problemI don't really understand. You say that you added your hard drive but your roms are on another PC? Then you must access them via network (nfs or smb). Did you add these locations as network sources to your XBMC file manager?
Could it be that since I'm running this on the RPi and the ROMs are on a hard disk on another machine running Windows 7?

I will check this but first want to finish some latest changes to get a new repo version done.
What are your thoughts on this?
reverendj1 Wrote:Sorry if this is a dumb question. I've looked all over this massive thread (and the documentation) and didn't see anything about it. Since no one else has asked (that I have found), I'm guessing I must be missing something stupid. Is there any way to have it sort the titles without "The", like XBMC does for movies/TV shows?I guess you are really the first on who requested this. I am not sure if this is something that I have to do in the script or if this is a XBMC/skinning thing. Will add this to my list and check it.

I'll try and cobble it together when I get home tonight and try scraping another collection and see if it makes a difference.Thanks for the hint. I will see if I can change this.

Maybe I can see what happens.
I also read that I need the command line or something for the emulators, how would I find these? Or alternatively could someone direct me to the more popular emulators to use that people already know how to set it up in Xbmc?

I read a part about the importing problems but all the roms I tried are zips and I used the correct file mask.

Some more information would be nice, e.g. what platform are you using, what emulator are you using, what game are you trying to run, can you play other imported games.
