Ok.. So I followed the info for Nestopia except for where it was stored on my computer. For some reason when I put the folder in the c drive nestopia wouldn't create a .xml.

When I click on a NES game in XBMC I get the error " File not found" in Nestopia.

If I get rid of the argument I don't get an error, but it won't load a game.

I think there is a problem of configuration with your Nestopia launcher. Could you post here the content of your launchers.xml file? (using pastebin service for example).

A side note. The wiki links you posted to Zsnes directs you to Nestopia wiki.

Oups... missed copy/paste. Here is the ZSNES wiki page link : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?ti...ES#Windows

Angelscry, I fixed it so it looks like:

Still finds all the roms as "not found" from mameworld =( , .. any other ideas? I have ignore bios unchecked

Yes you can do it. But it will be more a hack of the Advanced Lanucher than a real functionnality. The idea is to install a second time Advanced Launcher on XBMC but with a different name.

• Manually download the last version of Advanced Launcher here.
  
• Extract the zip file.
  
• Rename "plugin.program.advanced.launcher" directory name to "plugin.program.advanced.launcher2" for example
  
• Into this directory, edit addon.xml file and replace
  Code:

  <addon id="plugin.program.advanced.launcher" name="Advanced Launcher"
  by
  Code:

  <addon id="plugin.program.advanced.launcher2" name="Advanced Launcher2"
• Then Into this directory edit /ressources/lib/launcher_plugin.py file and replace
  Code:

  PLUGIN_DATA_PATH = xbmc.translatePath( os.path.join( "special://profile/addon_data", "plugin.program.advanced.launcher") )

    __settings__ = Addon( id="plugin.program.advanced.launcher" )
  by
  
  Code:

  PLUGIN_DATA_PATH = xbmc.translatePath( os.path.join( "special://profile/addon_data", "plugin.program.advanced.launcher2") )

    __settings__ = Addon( id="plugin.program.advanced.launcher2" )
• Finally copy the "plugin.program.advanced.launcher2" directory into the XBMC/addons directory.
  

You will now be able to use 2 versions (or more) of the Advanced Launcher add-on at the same time into XBMC but with different content. The only limitation is that the additionally installed version of Advanced Launcher will not be automatically updated (because we made a manual install).

Thank you very much. Have a new viewmode for shade it's updated on my post

Looks great for apps when using this icon set

LEGO Batman and Indianer Jones are both 4.2gb and i got this error on 2 systems, both running win7 64bit, very strange. LEGO Starwars Trilogy is working

Have you try to activate the "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" option into the Settings / System menu of XBMC? To start those games do you use stand-alone launchers or an emulator launcher and use .bat files or any script to start each game?

Hopefully that link worked for you Angelscry, also I have to ask; can games be scraped if they are each in their own subfolder within an overarching folder ie: games > game 1 folder, game 2 folder.. etc?

No, actually the Advanced Launcher do not support automatic recursive scan and sub-folders support. It will complicate the way the thumbs and fanarts are actually managed. The actual way to do it, it is by adding the games manually into the launcher.

@Angelscry , that makes sense, complicates things a bit though because I have my DC collection and the files overlap each other and I have to separate each game into it's own folder. As for my mame , snes - other batch scraping issues, they continue to persist =/ Ps2 scraped with no issue oddly enough

Ok, the launchers.xml file looks correct. Could you now post your \XBMC\userdata\addon_data\plugin.program.advanced.launcher\settings.xml file?

I'm having a slight issue

Since the latest version something is going on, for example I created a launcher for firefox but it seems to be receiving some arguments because it's when firefox opens it's on "C:\program files\firefox"

What I mean is it's browsing that folder.

Then I added a launcher for VLC. Same issue VLC just tried to play everything in it's executable path.

How your iso/roms files could overlap? If they are all well identified (with distinct names), they can not overlap !!!! Put each games into separate folder is not the right manner to manage iso and roms.

For example, with MAME, you need to indicate into the mame.ini configuration file the path for the roms. If they are all into different directories, that's will not works. All MAME roms has different filename. Those roms cannot be identified by MAME if you rename them. So they can not overlap. The related images (thumbs, fanarts, marquees) are all linked to the corresponding roms by their name and stored into distinct directories. There is no possibility of overlapping.

I will not add a functionality that encourage a non-normalized storing of iso and roms.

Please... activate the "Automatic Import during Scan" options for Datas, Covers and Fanarts. If those options are not activated the scrapers are deactivated.

You try to start them as stand alone-launchers?

[fr500]

Yes all my launchers are standalone. Is there a difference on the XML between both? I haven't found one, even on standalone launchers it adds empty <rom> tags

[fr500]

It's appending the path to the executable

Ex: instead of running "c:\program files\firefox\firefox" it's running "c:\program files\firefox\firefox.exe c:\program files\firefox" seems fixed by adding an argument, so if I add http://www.google.com as argument it works fine.
