I managed to add the date when you launch the game.
I will take a picture of my LCD screen when a game is running

Yeah it's logic anyway because when you launch the game or app, XBMC is not running anymore

Cool! This helps a bit! I thought about injecting the LCD code in as many homebrew apps as I could, but got lazy. Alas, you've given me enough interest to implement it in Surreal64.
@knarkuff I hope you are making progress getting kai reintegrated as well!
Has Links2XBMC ever caught your interest?

Re: Hello :) X3 LCD, Xlink Kai client
What I really hope is seeing LCD support in CoinOPS 
CoinOPS 6 will be released in a few days

That's awesome r32crazy01 this feature has been sadly missed for a long while. An big empty bright blue lcd sucked!
Maybe it will progress over time into a menu/advanced.xml option to enable lcd / disable lcd (i.e lcd on or completely off with no backlight) or even config what gets left on the display at xbe launch.
If not it still rocks to have it back as it was

@nayparm
I liked your idea for having the option in advancedsettings.xml to either turn the LCD off while in the app/game with no back light or having it display the "Playing **" message.
I'm now using it like this on my Xbox, also after Buzz pointed out that its better to not prevent it running the CApplication::Stop function, I have changed it to still run the function but check to see if it stops the LCD while still shutting down the other services.
advancedsettings.xml
<lcdshowplaying>true</lcdshowplaying>
true = Shows the app/game name playing.
false = Turns the LCD off with no back light.
If the advancedsettings.xml file does not exist it defaults to true.

Re: Hello :) X3 LCD, Xlink Kai client
I made another change to the LCD code that I personally find useful on my Xbox. In screen saver mode rather than just displaying the free memory it cycles through the CPU, GPU,HDD temperatures and free memory, displaying each one for ten seconds. I can put up a copy if anyone is keen.

Re: Hello :) X3 LCD, Xlink Kai client
No worries, this one is based on the latest r32683.
If you are installing this over the top of another copy of XBMC remember to overwrite the LCD.XML in the user data folder. Also remember to enable the LCD in system settings.
As before you can configure advancedsettings.xml (see below), if the file does not exist it will default to true.
advancedsettings.xml
<lcdshowplaying>true</lcdshowplaying>
true = Shows the app/game name playing.
false = Turns the LCD off with no back light while in app/game.
