paendorz Wrote:Yeah, but that's just the execution part, the batch files. And you have to add each one manually. Maybe I wasn't clear on my approach.
I'm talking about potentially adding adding my app features to the launcher. Which are basically to recognize which games are in your local steam setup and adding them to a specific launcher.
What my .NET app basically does is open up a local config file in your steam folder, apply some regular expressions in order to convert Valve's KeyValues to JSON and then parse it to extract the games.
I think it can be done on python, if anyone is willing to code it.
dsimages Wrote:Lets use COD:Black Ops for example. It is a 360/pc game. These are the types of games I am referring to. PC games that are also xbox games. I understand that I will have to use the pc version since there is no working xbox emulator. I couldn't get CXBX working earlier this evening anyway.I'm not sure I'm allowed to post on this board where and how to pirate and crack commercial PC games. Simply use Google with Download+PC+GAME_NAME will give you some clues. Generally recent games are into ISO format. You can use Damon Tools Light as the virtual mounting software with the ISO file to proceed to the game installation. Then use the executable file to start the game.
I have no idea what im doing when it comes to pc games. I am asking for a general direction from start to finish. Where to get the games, what format do they need to be in (iso or exe), virtual mounting software, ect..

Fitho Wrote:The new feature in 1.5.0 "add loading message feedback after starting an item" seems to produce a beep when it displays and when it closes. I browsed around some code and it seems that happens because "XBMC.Notification" is used in this addon. It uses the activate and deactivate sounds (infodialog) from the sounds.xml in the skins folder. The second beep sounds when I am already in the game or application. Well, 3sec I guess, cause that's the time u set for the notifications.I do not really have control on the notification display an sounds. This notification have been added to indicate to users that Advanced Launcher have started an application (to avoid user to start several time the application).
Would it be possible to use the "working ... " message instead (confluence skin)? Displays in the bottom right corner when it starts working, when you start a movie for example. I don't know if that's confluence specific or xbmc (not skin specific). But I like it not to make sounds.
If this is not possible, maybe a switch in the addon settings for not displaying the notification? I would be happy to work on this if u want me to.
Not sure where to start looking for the "working ... " message in either xbmc or confluence source. Maybe somebody has a clue. At least it's not in the xbmc built in functions https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...iltins.cpp .
Let me know which direction u want to take this, if any.
PS: Starting to populate the launcher with linux games, loving it more every day.
dsimages Wrote:Ok, when I am in Alauncher, and I try to launch a game (rom using Project64), xbmc minimizes, and I get a graphics error "Direct3D failed to initialize, Error code: 88760868D3DERR_DEVICELOST". I then click on "ok" and get another error "The default or selected video plugin is missing or invalid. Check that you have at least one compatible plugin file in your plugin folder." I then click "ok". Then the settings dialog opens for Project64 with a plugins tab and a options tab. Under the graphics plugin I have two options. first one is Jabo's Direct3D8.1.6 and second is Jabo'sDirect3D6.1.52.http://forum.pj64-emu.com/
I get these errors with both of these plugin's selected.
Any suggestion's ??

With this configuration (http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?ti...64#Windows) all was working correctly. Personnaly I prefer to use Mupen64 Plus to emulate N64 games : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?ti...pen64_Plus
