Now for the NOOB question ... Mednafen is installed at USR/GAMES/mednafen. But when I want to configure this in XBMC, RCB only lets me select an emulator from /HOME/XBMC. I can't go to any other directory from XBMC. But how do you solve this? As ubuntu picks the install dirs itself for its software? Anyone?
When you select an emulator, you will first need to be in the root directory. You can find this by continuously selecting ".." which means to move up directory. Eventually there will be a /usr directory. Alternatively it might say something like Root Filesystem, that too will take you to root.

Files and directories starting with a "." are hidden. The file you refer to is the configuration file, and not needed to create a collection within XBMC, per say. Instead you edit those files with an editor (I'd recommend Nano - type nano and then the file you wish to edit).
Thanks for trying to help. But when I press '..' I don't go further up, I leave the config of RCB. I can't seem to get in the correct file structure. Also tried it with the XBMC filemanager, same story ... frustrating & weird ... I'm really starting to hate Ubuntu.
I also tried to find the XBMC directory (userdata/addons) in the terminal, so I could perhaps edit the config file of RCB with Nano command. But I can't find the dir in terminal. Read the WIKI, don't have the same xBMC structure as explained in the wiki.
Finally, I tried editing the config file on my win pc, then copying it using XBMC filemanager. But then I get the error in RCB 'can't read config file'.
I'm getting out of ideas here.
I've been working with RCB for 1.5 years now, everything is easy on a win based system, but ubuntu without GUI ... OMG ...
