The issue I am having is that when I close down the emulator to go back to XBMC it is no longer Full screen and I have to hit alt-enter to go full screen. Doesn't seem to be a big issue but I am trying to get this thing to a point where I dont need the keyboard. (and very easy for the wife to use)

Thanks

Use 'solo mode' (which quits xbmc when running the emulator) and add the option to always start xbmc in fullscreen in advancedsettings.xml.

In regards to the "&&" I figured a solution using precmd but obviously needs the same changes as before ( same issue with encode settings )

Once that is done then the root command ( as long as you have a rooted device ) will work.

For reference:

Code:

<emulatorCmd>/system/bin/su</emulatorCmd>
<emulatorParams>-c 'am start --user 0 -S -n paulscode.android.mupen64plus.free/paulscode.android.mupen64plusae.PlayMenuActivity'</emulatorParams>
<preCmd>"/system/bin/am" start --user 0 -n paulscode.android.mupen64plus.free/paulscode.android.mupen64plusae.MainActivity -a android.intent.action.VIEW -eu Uri "file://%rom%"</preCmd>

Would you be able to fix it so precmd also works? ( and maybe add a precmd variable to the autoconfig? )

Oh sorry, I forgot that you also reported this issue. I had a discussion about it with another user and we solved it by using "&&" instead of "&&" in the config.xml file. Maybe you could try if this works for you too? Anyway, I will make sure that the encoding works for pre and post command but maybe I can skip adding it to the autoconfig file.

Use 'solo mode' (which quits xbmc when running the emulator) and add the option to always start xbmc in fullscreen in advancedsettings.xml.

Or you could try to increase the pre and post launch delay in addon settings. Maybe this also helps to solve the issue.

As a start you should change you emuparams from

Code:

-f -L /usr/lib/libretro-genesisplusgx.so %ROM%

to

Code:

-f -L /usr/lib/libretro-genesisplusgx.so "%ROM%"

"" around %ROM%

In this case you should see an error in the log file. Please post a log file here if you can reproduce this issue.

The scraper is not very fast at all as it tries to scrape from different sites. And downloading artwork may also take some time. The archive.vg scraper is broken atm, so you could set this one to "None". To use the mobygames scraper you should update to latest RCB test version as there have been some changes on the site since I released the last version to the XBMC repo.
