Launch4Xbox (now working)

[Ninhooo]

Here one launcher roms compatible with XBMC4XBOX Now:
- Added search engine Giantbomb
- Fixed alphabetical order of roms


http://www.mediafire.com/download/jra1r ... h4xbox.zip

OBS: Need Help to fix the search roms, because can not do it.


Tutorial:

- Extract the content and place it in the plugin folder of programs;
- Place the arts in the same folder of roms;
- The names of the image files have to match the name of the roms.
- The art of system must be put in the same folder default.xbe. Renomeand how default.png or default.jpg.

duplicating:

- Open with notepad and rewrite the default.py changing line 10 ("launch4xbox") by the name of the desired system does not remove the quotes. Also change the name of the folder by the same name given to the system. So you can create several independent collections can separate the roms by letter, genre, year.

Tutorial Launch Arcade roms FBA and MAME:

- With Notepad open the file in launchers.xml (Q: / UserData / plugin_data / programs / launch4xbox /) and edit as shown below:

Code: Select all

<rom>
		<name>Metal Slug 5</name>
		<filename>mslug5</filename>
		<thumb></thumb>
</rom>

removing the path location of the roms and the extensions of the files.
Important: is that the roms are in the FBA or Mame roms folder of emulator.

Tutorial NestopiaX:

- In this place the name of the emulator and the rom extension pulling all the way

Code: Select all

<rom>
		<name>Super Mario Bros</name>
		<filename>Super Mario Bros.nes</filename>
		<thumb></thumb>
</rom>

Important: The roms have that in emulator roms folder and not zipped

Obs: To launch emulators Madmab he already starts normally without any editing

Surreal 64 B5.52:

- This also starts normally without having to edit the launchers.xml, but the roms have what is inside the roms folder of the emulator.

Important: After you put the roms into the roms emulator folder, start the Surreal 64 emulator and pressing Y on the joypad search the roms in the folder, the emulator will recognize the roms, so then you can launch the direct roms xbmc4xbox.

i downloaded it, let me give it a try and see how it goes

[Ninhooo]

I managed to get videos previews, but only in a folder of xbox only fit a maximum of 4056 files. The only way would be to duplicate the launch4xbox and create individual folder for each systems.

I could not get cover to download or present

NOTTHESAME Able to use and configure this plugin?

[fxmech]

I'll try this.

Admittedly, though, I have a hard time understanding you two. I know English isn't your first language. It will take some time but in the next week I'll post back results.

hey i just was trying a few things out, if you cant get the fanart/wallpaper, dont worry, i got a cool way for all users to get their fanart with the game fanart,

while you play your emulator, say sega genesis, you will be playing alter beast, people can take a screen shot of the game and it will go directly to your rom launcher so when some is playing nes game like this one i played it and took a screenshot of it, if also they take multi screenshots it will run like a slide show no video since i dont have enough room on my system besides i erased all my videos pissed me off lol anyways in this screenshot its 8eyes for nintendo

even tho if its your launcher it will show fanart of the game, but only once the person has took a screenshot of the game it will appear as a fanart/wallpaper how ever.

Note: to everyone trying this out ill release the code once its ready, i might have to do this for all systems that people are running.
this works using your original emulator screenshot locations, this means when you get the emulator and run it for the first it time its set.

E:/screenshots/genesis or /nes depends

now go play a game and take a screen shot at the title screen and then during game play, it will now appear int he background of this launch4xbox or shortcut roms.

after you have take a screenshot dont alter the name or you will need to do the screenshots again.

i am still testing but i will be adding this to Mosaic skin and others if its requested

this works with mad mab emulators only, as well shortcuts roms



heres the code

Code: Select all

                <control type="multiimage">
			<description>Fanart Background image Genesis</description>
			<posx>0</posx>
			<posy>0</posy>
			<width>1280</width>
			<height>720</height>
			<preloaditems>2</preloaditems>
			<imagepath background="True">E:/SCREENSHOTS/GENESIS/$INFO[ListItem.Label]/0001.png</imagepath>
			<fadetime>-</fadetime>
			<aspectratio align="center">scale</aspectratio>
			<visible>IsEmpty(ListItem.Property(Fanart_Image) + IsEmpty(Fanart.Image)</visible>
		</control>

paste this where fanart background in programs is,
to use other emulator backdrops/wallpaper/fanart just change the location /GENESIS/ to NES or what you want to use
