[CLOSED] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC
Version 1.3.2 : Another small update for the Advanced Launcher add-on. This one is fixing a small bug on GameFAQs and MobyGames scrapers that made them returning wrong results. This is now fixed. I have also taken advantage of this fix to make some code cleaning.

ChangeLog:
  • Fix thumb/fanart bug for GameFAQs and MobyGames scrapers
  • Code cleaning
just wanted to say excellent job on 1.3.2 worked perfectly also i was reading your autoit script for exit on esc im not much of a code person but i attempted for like an hour what i want is to use this script with a few different emulators ill show you what i got and if you can tell me where im wrong or re-write it that would be awesome and thanks again for the help earlier

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

If $CmdLine[0] == 1 Then
Run ( '"D:\Emulators\NES\VirtuaNES.exe"' & $CmdLine[1] & '"', "D:\Emulators\NES\" )
While 1
Sleep(100)
WEnd
EndIf

Func Terminate()
ProcessClose ( "VirtuaNES.exe" )
Exit 0
EndFunc

Your code seems correct.... but to confirm, I need to take a look at your launchers.xml file. It is possible that there is a problem related to the command line.
thank you for taking a look at it what happens is after i compile it to exe it and put it in the folder when i try to open the exe it does nothing but if i open the original exe it works fine here is the pastebin to my launcher http://pastebin.com/y8WNWpKy
Hey angelscry, I'm having problems with fusion genesis emu. I've used args as -auto -fullscreen "(rom)" it works fine but when exiting the emu closes but xbmc comes back to a half window. I've checked to use window rather fullscreen which usually fixes the problem am I missing something.cheers bruv!

No, no... you cannot directly start the created executable launcher. To works it's absolutely need an argument (If $CmdLine[0] == 1). Is you want to test you launcher you need for example use a test.bat file like this :
Code:
VirtuaNES-launcher.exe "E:\nes\roms\Contra.zip"
BTW, I have tested VirtuaNES on my way.

But... your code and your launcher configuration were correct... Wink

I don't know if it is related but to make Kega Fusion works properly, I remember that John.doe modified the ForceFullScreen32 parameter of the fusion.ini file : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=49
I'm running XBMC in a dual screen set up. I'm using this wmctrl hack, but it seems to mess with programs I run with Advanced Launcher.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can sort this out?
ok ran into another dilemma snes9x it uses esc to open the toolbar so when i try to program a launcher like virtuanes it does nothing it will not close the program i have a few other emulators that are this way but i figured if i got 1 figured out that it should work the same for the rest and the viruanes code worked perfect for fusion thanks

I do not have dual screen system, so I'm not sure if it works or not, but I think using a launcher-script like this help you... Oo
Code:
#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=:2
/usr/bin/mednafen -fs 1 "$1"

For Snex9X this autoit script works perfectly for me :
Code:
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

If $CmdLine[0] == 1 Then
    Run ( '"C:\Program Files (x86)\snes9x-1.53-win32\snes9x.exe" -fullscreen "' & $CmdLine[1] & '"', "C:\Program Files (x86)\snes9x-1.53-win32" )
    While 1
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
EndIf

Func Terminate()
    WinClose ( "Snes9X")
    Exit 0
EndFunc
weird difference was my winclose snes9x wasnt capitalized but i guess that's enough to make a difference thanks so much for all your help i should be leaving you alone now for awhile just built a mame cabinet and was driving me crazy to have the keyboard out every time i wanted to quit a game thanks again you saved me hours of headache Big Grin

The Winclose() function is not referring to the executable file itself but to the exact beginning of the windows name. So capitalization is important.

It was a pleasure to help you. You give me opportunities to complete the WIKI pages. Your questions and their solutions will be surely useful for other users.
