All you have to do is enable nVidia 3D Vision, then start the game and it will be in 3D (with glasses). Disable it and it will be normal game without glasses. However you need to configure Dolphin to work in 3D Vision mode as well. So, yes, all Wii games can be run in both modes using Dolphin. While it would work fine if I defined the same emulator twice, it would look stupid in the menu (presentation wise)Thank you for the information concerning the 3D mode for the Wii games.
tria Wrote:The same goes for PCSX2, if I want a normal launcher, and another one that load last state (where you stopped last time) and save state on exit (so it start from ther next time). I am not here wanting them for compatibility issues, or wanting to use more than one emulator, it is just that having such option would also allow this as well, and other things. Oh, well, I guess I can surviveWould be possible to do this using a bash launcher or better an autoit script. You start the autoitscript (with advanced launcher) that will display and ask to start a game normally (key press "1") or using a savestate file (key press"2"). Then depending of the key press (could be mapped button) the autoit script will start PCSX2 with the rights parameters indicated by the launcher argument tags.
Advantage of using bash or AutoIt script launchers is that you could configure them exactly for you system (controllers configuration, screen or resolution change, suspend or close XBMC, etc...). Its not possible to implement directly such kind of option into Advanced Launcher that will take into account all the possible emulators, application, controller and system configurations.
tria Wrote:Oh, in some of the screenshots I saw one where you have multiple "advanced launcher" plugins (with different names), and I believe each plugin instance has its own launchers. Is that possible or am I just misinterpret it?You can duplicate Advanced launcher many time you want. You just have to take care to rename the launcher differently, and edit the related userdata directory into Advanced Launcher addons. So you will have the possibility to create an Advanced Launcher version dedicated to games, another dedicated to comics, another dedicated to websites, etc...
Also in another one I saw list of channels, that got me wondering, how do they switch to the channel (I have SkyStar HD 2 satellite card and the programs for it)?
For the channel, I use them with rmtp video stream and start them using VLC. If you use a SkyStar HD 2 satellite card and if the programs you use allows to start a specfic channel using command line, it will be possible for you to use SkyStar HD directly from Advanced Launcher.
Main rule is that is you are able to do something using the command line... you will be able to the same using from Advanced Launcher.
