I know quite well how to decompress a zip file. And I did all you told me to do. But one quite big diference is, that I'm running the Windows version on a Windows 8 machine. Your's is a Linux version, right? Maybe thats the problem?
I have run nightlies of XBMC for years by now, and I can asure you, I'm not inexperienced. Guess I've been what you would call a nerd for decades by now.
In any way, I did as you told me. downloaded version 2,2,6, decompressed it an copied the folder to the XBMC\addons folder. Still it returned with the "dependencies" fail, and asked if I wanted to disable the plugin. Don't know what else to say?

Hi all,
Been trying to add local images for MAME when using the "add items" function but it never picks anything up even though my images are named the same as my rom file, is there a secret trick I don't know about?

It's worth a try. I'll make the effort tomorrow, when I get up. Thanks for all your help so far.

Hi everyone. This is my first post and I've just recently discovered XBMC and all of it's awesomeness so please try to bear with me. For the most part everything has been going smoothly except I can't get my advanced launcher app to work like it's supposed to. I'm not sure what I've done wrong and have been reading various guides and this forum to figure it out but can't. I basically followed a popular guide on AVS forums on how to set it up.
I'm running the newest version 12 of xbmc. and Advanced launcher 2.2.6. I set up a new launcher and called it PC games. It's a Files Launcher. I made my source the folder where I put all the shortcut files which are like 10 .lnk files (my pc games). For application I chose the following path C:\Windows\explorer.exe. For arguments I left it as %rom%. For item path it's my folder with the shortcuts i.e D:\Games\PC Games. The item extension is .lnk, And i chose the thumb and fanarts paths as 2 folders I put in my PC games folder ie. D:\Games\PC Games\Thumb.
My problem first off is it's not picking up any of the shortcuts on its own. When I right click and say add items then choose scan for new items nothing is coming up. The only way to add anything is manually searching through the folder and adding it.
Furthermore once I manually add it only some of the info is getting scraped properly. I have to mostly manually do it all and even then the thumbs or fanart are not coming properly at times. I've made sure my scraper settings are correct under the add on etc. They're on automatic, collecting method is scrapers, Recursive scan is on. Import mode auto, Source is TheGamesDB. Also have tried different sources.
I've tried small little things here and there to try and get it to work with no avail. If someone could please help me on what to do with this it would be greatly appreciated. If you need any more info let me know. Sorry for the long post and thanks a lot.

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm a complete noob when it comes to this. I can't seem to find the launcher .xml file when I look through my xbmc folder or the backup. I found this one in my backup but I'm pretty sure it's not what you need.<script src="http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=Kvm42Cty"></script>. Thanks for the help.

This error message fix for Gotham doesn't work on my machine, I have 2.2.6 installed and I changed the code but it still comes up with the error message. Has anyone had any luck with this?
Seems that Advanced Launcher add-on is under deactivated state into XBMC. I have no idea how you can reactivate it manually but you will surely have a better support from the XBMC developers themselves. I'm not responsible about the way XBMC Gotham is now restrictively
