like this.

That's an AutoIt Script not an Auto Hot Key script. And how do you setup your launcher (application, arguments)?

Ok... The application parameter of the launcher must point to your compiled Autoit script and not to the PCSX2 application itself.

I tried internet explorer first as an experiment. when that failed I tried irfan for the hell of it. They both return the Script Failed Addon.py.

I started xbmc ,triggered the fail , then shut down and got the log and the xml.

here they are .

According to you error message, you are using a deprecated version of Advanced Launcher that is not compatible with Frodo version of XBMC. Actual version 1.10.7. You can download directly from here or install my repository to have Advanced Launcher automatically updated. Read the user guide for the installation of the repository.

I am having some major problems with my Windows 7 box and Advanced Launcher. Whenever I exit an emulator, the system starts freaking out and opening tens of instances of the emulator. It then proceeds to completely delete all the settings and I have to re add and scrape all the systems and games.

Could you please give more information? Which version of XBMC and Advanced launcher you where usiing? Are you directly start the emulator from Advanced launcher, or do you have used an intermediate script launcher?

[zippenpipper]

I am using Frodo Beta 3 and the newest version of advanced Launcher. The emulator launches right from the program, I just followed the built in process for adding a new emulator.

[ksbuell]

Everything works well on Eden. I gave Frodo Beta 2 & 3 a shot, because of the time out issue with using an xbox 360 controller. I have 2 separate listings for Advanced Launcher in my XBMC, one for Console Games with the other for PC games. The original listing (for Emulators) of adv. launcher is working fine. The 2nd listing of Adv Launcher (for PC .exe's) results in a script error upon launching.

Here is my log file showing the error.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

[ksbuell]

to clarify, I only have this problem on Frodo. everything works as expected on eden

Also, im on a 64bit, Win7.

Thanks!

When you use duplicate versions of Advanced launcher, only the original version is automatically updated. The duplicated versions must be updated manually. I think it is what happen in your case. The original version have been updated and is compatible with Frodo. The second version is not updated and generate errors under frodo.

What you have to do, is just to duplicate again the original version and rename it exactly with the same name and modification than your second version of Advanced launcher.

After reading your post, what I'm suspecting is that XBMC still receive you controler actions even if an application is started. That vould explain why several instance of your applicayion have been started and why you may have lost some part of your advanved launcher data. How do you control XBMC? Same controller than for the emulators?

[ksbuell]

OK, thanks. That update now allows the games to launch again!

I use both a logitech diNovo mini wireless keyboard/mouse combo deal and yes, I do also use the 360 controller to act as a remote. Which was awesome back on Dharma, but for whatever reason on Eden, when the controller times out (like during a movie) XBMC crashes. I read that it's fixed...somewhat...on Frodo and the main reason why I am trying it out.

Thanks again for helping!

I think Advanced Launcher Is absolutely the best part of XBMC and my HTPC!!!

Here I go again!

yes, the 360 controller is what i use for PC games and Emulators, which I also have set-up to control XBMC. It makes for a seamless transition when switching from XBMC to the game.

Do you suspect this is causing a problem?

[zippenpipper]

Its the same controller, yes. I dont think that is the problem, as I would hear the beeps from the menu sounds if the controller was operating both simultaneously. Either way, that doesnt explain why all my settings are suddenly gone when everything is said and done.

[mobile87]

That worked thanks!

I have the same problem of pc going crazy and starting multiple instance of the same launcher at once, it doesn't occure during emulation ( as if xbmc is still controlled by pad with emulation above xbmc ) but actually it happen when quitting the emulation ( or pc game), xbmc receive multiple button press even if I don't touch it.If it's a direction ( up by example) it's not that bad, I get back to xbmc and the menu is going up until I touch the pad again....BUT if it's the A button ( which is enter to me in xbmc) when I quit a game, xbmc understand he has to launch whatever launcher the cursor is upon and multiple time!!! which can be really a problem ( pc can crash badly...)
It doesn' t happen with darhma, eden just never work with wireless 360 pad ( which is a shame ) and frodo, well works but the new way of handeling the pad is not so great...if you want angel I could get a log of that problem ( I have a game that reproduce the bug everytime...) but i'm not sure it's a advanced launcher bug...mostly an xbmc bug, maybe the solution can consist of a way to "block" command from pad when returning to xbmc for a few second, just enough time for us to ,well push a direction or B (back ) button to prevent the button press repetition...because this button madly repetition is discontinued when we press the pad again....
I'm not sure I m clear angel, if that can help we can PM as I'm french we could discuss this in french but again I don't think it's a advanced launcher problem, surely an xbmc one.I already creat a thread a few times ago to show this bug of button repeteting but no one really care ( "check your battery" is the response I get and since the "edengate" concerning the pad support I must say I'm quite sad with xbmc...evrything was fine with dharma...;(
anyway cheers everyone!
