I have my ROMs where I want them. I have an NFO folder configured. If I want to add a new smaller System to the line-up I can manually create NFO files and quickly import everything into RCB by selecting the local NFO file method. (No addition files are needed, only the proper settings) I can without very much trouble (Only time) even re-import all 8000 ROMs and 37 systems. With the new method RCB asks for an additional xml games list to actually import games, then it does indeed pull game descriptions from my NFO files. I have found the instructions to obtain these XML files but they are using scene naming standards, I am not. I see no benefit in the new xml requirement. I suppose I could come up with an automatic way to create an XML in the proper format based on my ROMs but please, why should I have to? You obviously wrote the code requiring the new XML. I am having a hard time understanding why you seemingly don't understand the change I am referencing.If you have your nfo files and artwork in place there is no need for any additional files. Just choose any scraper in the import or config dialog (online or offline does not matter as it isn't used anyway). If you choose offline you will be asked to point RCB to an additional description file (I think this is the point that we are talking about). But in this dialog you can point to any file, it can even be a picture or anything else. This file won't be used during import process if you import your games with nfo files.
I also don't like the way it works now and I will change the behaviour with the next release. The nfo option will go back to the import options dialog again. And if you choose this, you won't need to select any scraper or dummy files.
If I am still misunderstanding you, please show me an example of the xml file you are talking about.
On a side note. I have been having trouble convincing the developer of Aeon MQ8 that some problems I have been having are a skin bug. In case they really aren't... do you have any idea why RCB wont play gameplay videos or remember view settings in MQ8?
