Quote:1. When starting project64 from xbmc it gives me following:
Graphical error
Direct3D failed to initialize
Error code 88760868
D3DERR_DEVICELOST
Be sure to check "run as fullscreen window" instead of "run fullscreen" in XBMC settings.
Angelscry, maybe a large, obnoxious link to the Wiki & Manual is needed in the first post. This might remove a lot of the rookie posts.
That being said, I have an update and a feature request:
I've finished cataloging my games. Each game has its correct box art for the thumbnail and its title screen as its fanart. Looks fantastic and I've cataloged over 3000 games for the NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, 32X and more.
I invited a few friends over and we had a blast playing our old games, but found it difficult to find new games to try because we weren't sure how many players they supported.
I know MobyGames for sure has an entry for "Players" or the like, but it's not set up intuitively. They list "1-4 Players" in a different category than "2-4" players (see here). I would imagine that other databases (GameFAQs, Allgame, etc) have the same attribute to be able to scrape. If implemented in ALA, I would simply want to be able to go to search for the number of players as "4" and have it return results from any game that supported 4 players, as well as display the number of players when browsing games.
Would it be possible to add this feature? It would obviously not apply to non-game applications...so maybe a toggle in the launcher's "advanced options" is necessary "Is a game launcher [y/n?]"
If this were introduced, I could filter for 3-Player Sports Games, or 2-Player Beat-em-up Games, etc. It would be a fantastic addition to ALA.
