When I try to launch a SNES ROM the screen goes blank with the mouse cursor in the middle then xbmc reboots. There are no errors in the log except for failed to implement httpapi or something which I'm told can be ignored.

If I launch retroarch and load up the snes9x core the games play fine.

Just wondering if anyone has come across a similar issue before and might know what I'm doing wrong.

It depends on how I will implement it. I have two methods in mind:
1. Just add an option to launch RCB with a Rom Collection as parameter. RCB wil launch as usual but it will set the filter to the given Rom Collection. This way you would be able to edit your Home screen and add several start entries for RCB each one launching a different Rom Collection.
2. Create a complete new (RCB) main screen. This screen will contain infos about all Rom Collections including statistics (number of games, favorite games, ...). From this screen you can only launch your favorite (or last/most played) games or you can go on to RCBs current main screen.

To implement no 1 should be easy and not take much time. I guess that it will be available with one of the next releases. No 2 is a lot more work. But it is a feature that I really like to include, so I hope that I can start working on this soon.

Quote:I can somehow reproduce it (or I just found another bug). Local scrapers work fine for me but the "Remove Rom Collection" dialog does not work correctly when I set the language to German. In this case it always deletes the complete collection including the config even if I select the german equivalent of "Remove Games only". I am doing a string comparison in code and it fails because the german string contains an Umlaut and this seems to mess up the comparison. When I set the language back to english it works fine. Maybe this is a similar behaviour on your system?

Solid One Wrote:There's something I'd like to know if RCB can do or not.

I have two rom collections, one for NES and other one for PS1. On my NES collection, I have a lot of rom hacks from SMB, and I've organized the collection by zipping all these games and adding .ZIP extension to the list of supported files. This way, when I select SMB, a menu will show up with all romhacks from SMB. That's a great feature to avoid showing a lot of repeated games on my collections.

However, on my PS1 rom collection, I have some rom hacks and game translation and I'd like to do the same thing I've done on my NES collection. However, zipping ISO files will make XBMC slower, since it'll need to extract a big file everytime I want to play that game.

I know I can do something similar by using "Disk Indicator" parameter, but I don't know if I can have multiple "Disk Indicator" parameters for a rom collection. I mean, I'm already using that parameter on my PS1 rom collection for games with multiple disks, such as Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil 2. I just need a way to do the same thing for my romhacks and translations, by inserting a suffix to my ISO filenames such as "_hack" or "_translated".

Is there a way of doing it besides zipping file? Or maybe a special parameter I need to pass to "Disk Indicator" to make it recognize another games on a folder.
