I had issues with XBMC running in the background while playing Mupen64plus roms. The frame rate was terrible. I tried running the Launcher.sh script (discussed in the last launcher thread and several other threads, I'm sure you've seen it) and I never got it to work. I downloaded the RCB addon and it comes with a script that works in Linux Windows or Mac. No modifications were needed for the script and it works flawlessly. I use the RCB AppLauncher.sh script as the emulator and then use the emulator path and normal arguments to launch the rom. It kills xbmc, loads the emulator and then reopens xbmc after the emulator is closed. I highly suggest this method for more powerful emulators like mupen or pcsx. I can now run these games with system resources and I don't drop any frames.

htpc_guy,
I've been struggling to get N64 emulation going myself - poor performance when using ALA with M64+. Would you mind elaborating on exactly how you've set your system up? Which of the scripts that malte linked to are you using? perhaps you could post your launchers.xml entry for n64?
thanks
