Great, great work Izod! This guide came out really well.

Thanks for the tips grassmunk, I think I'll setup SMS and game gear now just for fun with mednafen.

I forgot to add that to get the Panel view to work in Alaska for games, you need to make a small modification to Alaska's source code. By default, Panel view doesn't exist in the programs section.

Go to Alaska/720p/MyPrograms.xml, and look for this on line 9:

Code:

<include>Viewtype_List</include>

After that line, add this line:

Code:

<include>Viewtype_Panel</include>

Then, open Viewtype_Panel.xml. Look for line 23 which should look like this:

Code:

<visible>[Window.IsActive(501) | Window.IsActive(502) | Window.IsActive(25) | Window.IsActive(24)] + !Container.Content(episodes)</visible>

You need to add the condition for window 1. Change the line to read:

Code:

<visible>[Window.IsActive(501) | Window.IsActive(502) | Window.IsActive(25) | Window.IsActive(24) | Window.IsActive(1)] + !Container.Content(episodes)</visible>

Then, you need to make a choice whether you'd like to see the square panel view or tall panel view in programs. I find tall panel view looks best for games like NES, but square panel view has worked better as an all around view for both boxed size games (i.e. gameboy) and nes games with not too much stretching. Change line 24 from:

Code:

<include condition="Window.IsActive(501) | Window.IsActive(502)">SquarePanel</include>

to

Code:

<include condition="Window.IsActive(501) | Window.IsActive(502) | Window.IsActive(1)">SquarePanel</include>

Or change line 25 with a similar change.

Finally, we need to make the same change to include that beautiful wide panel view that works great for SNES, N64 boxes, etc. Look for line 46:

Code:

<visible>Container.Content(tvshows) | Container.Content(seasons) | Container.Content(episodes) | Window.IsActive(2)</visible>

Change to:

Code:

<visible>Container.Content(tvshows) | Container.Content(seasons) | Container.Content(episodes) | Window.IsActive(2) | Window.IsActive(1)</visible>

If you're like me and don't use the programs section for anything other than games, you can change the shortcut on Includes_Home_1.xml to bring you directly to launcher. On line 21, make the shortcut XBMC.ActivateWindow(1,plugin://programs/Launcher/).

That's it! Good luck.
