I used the exact Donkey Kong file that you pasted above. I just tested it from a local drive and not from an smb location. So I think this is the current issue.
Did you try this notation in RCB: \\xxx\media\GAMES\N64\%GAME%\game.xml ?
Maybe this helps already. But I can't test it atm as I am not at home.

That did the trick, Thanks!
I remember that the reason that I did not use drive letters in kodi, as it would not show up in the RCB browser.
Happy to test for you whenever you are doing coding on the RCB.

Importing PS2 games: In the config.xml you have selected the Nintendo 64 parser for the PS2 collection. You can go to "Edit Rom Collection" dialog on "Import game data" tab and change it there. Or just change it on the fly in the Import dialog just before the scraping starts.
Launching N64 games: You have set "Make local copy" to False. I think Retroarch can not handle smb path. So you should set it to True or change the path to a drive letter.

Thanks!. I had overlooked the little scraper ref line of code. That did the trick.
As for the local copy. I checked and it was set to True. So I decided to set to false, save it. and set back to true again. For some reason this fixed it. it launches the N64 games again. :-)
Just wondering about the PS2 game. I dont think Retroactch can play a .iso file. as it crashed when trying to open it. I cant find the answer online either. Hoping someone knows what I need to do with a downloaded PS2 game in .iso format to make it readable in retroarch?
Thanks

Afaik Retroarch cannot run PS2 games. There is PCSX2 as emulator but I never tested it.

Didn't you install the game and have 1 exe file that you can point to?
