arosequi Wrote:$1K is pretty good. I doubt I have the proper skills, but are your requirements posted somewhere to look through?
yunti: Do you have the Launcher plugin installed? You should be able to set up emulators, where you choose the game system, then choose a game. That part's working correctly for me, but there are a lot of things that I think need changed.
Hi arosequi, if you or anyone else is still intrested then here is the job title & breif description i posed on oDesk.com : (copy & paste)
Need someone to be able to design a plugin which can be integrated into XBMC (XBMC.org) to scan games installed on the system & fetch coverart etc from the net.
The program must be integrated into xbmc :
Metadata information provided are:
Title;
Synopsis (plot);
Cover Poster;
Screenshots (thumbnails and large pictures);
Platform;
AMG Rating;
ESRB Rating;
Genre;
Styles;
Developer;
Publisher;
Release Date;
AMG Game ID (only for internal database use);
Similar Games (not sure if this would be of any interest to XBMC)
A couple of things that needs to be in mind:
Python scripts is not the way to get it fully integrated into XBMC like Movies, TV shows, etc. it is C++ is that XBMC native programing language, and C++ is the programming language that you would have to use to get it fully integrated into XBMC
This is the official documentation for development:

Someone (with the forum username "leo2") has already been working on this before but unfortunately he abandoned his project do to time restraint from his real-life job and personal life. It would be much better if you tried to get someone to pick up where he left of and continue with his source code (which is C++), there is a branch in the SVN which that source code can be downloaded from, it is not finished and needs to be completed before it can be accepted into the mainline XBMC as fully integrated into XBMC like Movies, TV shows, etc. ...so checkout:

My offer still stands and i might increase it if we get it done the way it should, also i am sure that once someone starts, there will be lot of other donors to this project.
