For example, if you want to add a Batman entry, you will have to create one file launcher using your prefered comic reader application and pointing to the folder containing your batman comics (cbz, cbr, pdf, etc...). Here is a small Youtube tutorial about how create/use files launchers : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Pl-3yEDgUY
I know how to do the home menu bit...but I only know how to show one comic with the adv launcher....any ideas?

If you want to add extra thumbs, fanarts and trailers to a specific item/rom, you will need to indicate, at least, which images and video files use.(2012-11-30, 22:09)Angelscry Wrote:(2012-11-30, 21:54)JoeBlow42069 Wrote: Is it possible to use a video preview from emu movies with advanced launcher?That mostly a skin feature. For each launcher or items Advanced launcher had the possibility to define a custom path, that could for example containing extra-fanart images or video trailers. Actually, for what I know, only the Cirrus Extended v2 skin use this custom path field : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=101
Quote:To use extra media with Cirrus Extended (like extra thumbs, extra video and video trailers), you need first to create a folder when you will put all the corresponding extra media files (for example named extramedia). Into this folder, you will need to create one sub-folder for each items with the same displayed name (for example named game1). Then into this folder you will create 2 additional sub-folders named extrathumb and extrafanart. The first directory will contain the extra thumbs image files, and the second one will contain the extra thumbs image files. This image files not need to have a specific name. Finally, the trailer video will be named trailer.mp4 and must be placed into the dedicated extra media folder of the game (game1 in this example).
So I think there is no problem to use video preview from emu movies with Advanced Launcher.
I have thousands of roms, do I have to do this for each game individually? Is there an easier way?

After I updated from frodo to eden, selecting any of my launchers appears to do nothing, and I'm left at the launcher screen eg.
Each of the launchers has a bunch of items in them. I'm hoping there's a way to retreive them without having to readd/scan/scrape/individually fix them all.
Thanks!@
