After RCB scrapes and imports games to the library, it shows all the info, box art, etc. But after I shut down RCB and go back into it, it only shows the info for the game, and it is missing a bunch of games and mixing my games with other systems. I tried importing the games using local data, and that worked, but then again, it did the same thing once I exited RCB and then came back to it. I am running the Jul 17th nightly build of pre-eden. Thanks for the help Malte.
NM Malte....I just went into RCB and everything is there with no mix ups or anything with the games. All the artwork is there now. I guess it was just a kink or something....I am in Afghanistan right now, so I reckon my computer is wanting to be stupid or something.

@ Malte
Are you planning on adding a feature that will allow you to add individual games or rescan the directory without having to go through adding all of the games again??

Rom Collection Browser is absolutely amazing. What are the chances of a standalone version being developed?
I multi-boot OpenELEC and Ubuntu~ I have Ubuntu configured and dedicated exclusively for emulation. Rom Collection Browser is by far the best launcher/front-end available, but I literally have XBMC running for the sole reason that Rom Collection Browser needs it to be running.

Hi everybody,
I did some search on google and in a few forums, but i can't find a solution
for my problem.
I would like to start roms over XBMC and i want to start GlovePie with a script the same time, so that i can only start my wiimote, autoconnect it and play my games.I tried two different ways, which i'll explain to you.
Variant 1:
With the integrated Launcher and a selfmade batch file looking like this:
start C:\blablabla\project64.exe %rom%
start C:\blablabla\GlovePie.exe -Wiimotescript.PIE
So this works just fine, i can choose a game hit enter, start my wiimote, it connects automaticaly and after closing the applications im back in XBMC, but i dont see any thumbnails in XBMC for my roms. Just like in the description i put a file with the same name as the rom and the ending ".jpg" in my rom folder, add the rom folder to my launcher but nothing happens no thumbnails.
Variant 2:
With rom collection browser, amazing plugin, i can see description, thumbnails, fanarts, ..., but rom collection browser can't handle the batch file.
So is there a possibility either add thumbnails to the launcher or otherwise start GlovePie with rom collection browser. Starting GlovePIE with windows is not an option because i have 3 emuators integrated in XBMC and every emulator has his own script in GlovePIE, so it has to start GlovePIE with the needed script when i open a rom in rom collection browser.
Sorry for my bad english. Im a swiss guy
Hope anyone can help me solving my problem or explain a different way to me how to get this to work. Thanks for responses.

Config looks good, afaics. If your rom files are on "/mnt/dionysus/volume_2/Emulators/SNES/Roms" and end with "*.smc" everything should be fine.
Can you upload a log file after you tried to import your snes collection?
