[RELEASE] EmuLauncher (Programs) Plugin - Arcade Games ROMS Emulator Launcher Plugin - jack83 - 2009-07-28
First of all, if you have another name for the plugin, please write me. I'm really bad inventing names.
What does this Plugin do? It’s a first release version of a plugin I started half a year ago. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=42556
This hast two components: A small plugin which can translate xml files into a XBMC folder structure and a Java application to create those xml files.
This plugin allows you to add various files for launching from within XBMC. There is a special wizard that allows to batch add emulator roms with automatically chosen Icons. The wizard only supports some emulators, but more can easily be added.
Usage:
1. Copy the EmuLauncher folder in you XBMC program plugin folder
2. Start the EmuLauncher.jar from EmuLauncherConfigurator (Should start by clicking on it. If not, create a .bat with “java -jar EmuLauncher.jar”
3. Create the structure as you like, manually or with the wizard found in tools
4. Export your project to the EmuLauncher/data folder of the plugin
Please remember that this is a very early ALPHA version.
Tested currently only on windows, linux and mac will follow. I stil need help with the python plugin part to support FanArt and so on. So if you have experience in plugin development and are willing help, write me.
Yes I know that the game library is on the way and that there is the launcher plugin. This is a project to try new java stuff and more proof-of-concept for me.
Here are some screenshots:

So have fun with all the games and write some comments

this is great news! Something to tide us over until someone decides to take the mantle from Leo to make the GamesLibrary. I will be installing it ASAP! Thanks!

Seems to work well until you actually try to launch games. I've tried znes and n64 and I get a "Windows cannot find C:/program'"

I updated the first post with a link to r50 of the EmuLauncher. I had to split up the cmd into the link to a executable and the command line parameters to fix the bug with spaces in the cmd.
This means you have to re-add your roms or manually edit your project (Just mark all roms you want to edit end cut&past the exe from cmd to the new field and apply your changes)
I added a new feature called copy export. It will basically copy the roms and pictures you use in your project to a new location. I needed this because I have complete rom sets on an external hdd and wanted only the ones I selected on my HTPC.
I saw that at least 40 people downloaded this plugin. Does it work for you? Do you use it? I don't know if I should add more stuff or move on to another project
