So here's the news in the latest SVN:

Added the skin file for Project mayhem III. I
had some problems with Xephyr, I'll have to
test it a bit more before I include it.

By request - passing arguments after the game path:

To pass argments to the emulator, just add
them in the Path to Emulator field, ie
C:\n64.exe -switch1. To have switches after
the executable, add the widcard %ROM% where
the path is to be inserted, ie
C:\n64.exe -switch1 %ROM% -switch2. When a
game is launched from the list, the wildcard
will be replaced by the correct game file.
If no %ROM% is defined, the path to the game
file will be inserted at the end.

Great plug-in! Started using MediaPortal only last month (dumped Vista MCE for it).
Just one question though: Any plans for supporting the Monochrome skin?

[Darre]

It's up to each skinner to create the files for plugins.. Search the monochrome thread, a file might allready be there. If not; request it there

How to get MAME ePSXe and others work?

The reason why MAME is not working is when you launch it with command line, the prompt must ben in the mame folder, and that's not the case in windows default (it's %userprofile%)

And with the myEmulators plugin you can't add some swicthes after the rom name?

I've got the solution, and it's really easy.

Simply create a batch file with that (example with mame):

CD /D D:\the_path_of_your_mamep_exe_file
mamep %1 -your_switchs_here

Then go to myEmulator configuration and instead of picking and executable file for the emulator, simply manually paste the path to the bat file into the texte field.




Anyway Chreekar, you should code 2 text fields with arguments that we can add BEFORE and AFTER the rom name, it's quite easy to implement, you just have ton concatene this with the rom name in the launch command of your code, it should take you no more than 5 minutes.

And if you can remove the limitation that only allows to select exectuables files for the path of emulator, it will be great (or at least allow batch files).

Keep up the good work.

Yes, in the latest SVN version you can. Just check the Readme.txt on how to add arguments both before and after the ROM name.

If anyone has a working xml file for the Xface skin please share it! I posted a request in the Xface skin thread, but am doubful anyone has one. If not I will read up on skinning mediaportal and attempt to do it myself, but it will take some time with my horrible schedule

http://localarcade.com/screenshotarc...loads_emus.htm -
has a list of emulators that have been adjusted for exiting with the escape key.

also

http://mamewah.mameworld.net/news.htm

for a great front end / info on emulation

all of this has been done for the arcade cabinet scene, no difference for use with mediacenter pc's

hope someone will get some use from these links, loads of information in them.

has anyone managed to get epsxe working with savestates... my games load but there is no savestate or memcard loaded.. and when I try to create a new savestate with f1 it doesnt work.

Yet if I run exactly the same command in cmd:
epsxe.exe -nogui -loadbin "path"

It works fine... anyone got a solution?

Thanks

A nice feature too will be to be able to search within roms, i mean when you've got thousands of roms, you actually need to scroll down and that can be very frustrating.

So if we could filter into mediaa portal, for example by alphabet letter or best with a instant search textfield, it would be nice. A nice thing too would be in list mode to get some screen shot on the left when focusing a game, as myprograms do.

And if you can add field for the game type (reflexion, platform, racing, shoot them up....) would be nice too !

@ silencelost: try to add full paths(!) to epsxe's ini or options.
