I would like to add a request for information/grade/genre/etc. for emulators themselves. I know this can be done for roms, but I would love to have a description for consoles/emulators. Thanks.

Mediaportal Crashing with ZSnes

Hi Guys,

I've been trying this plugin for a few days and I just can't get ZSnes to work with it properly.

I've set up both Nestopia and ZSnes to suspend MP while running and when I'm done using Nestopia, it reverts back to MP just fine. ZSnes also returns fine, at first...

But when I quit Mediaportal I get a strange C++ error.

Here is the error.log:

So, the error has something to do with Direct3D, but what exactly?

I've also tried Snes9xw and it gives the same error. If I don't suspend MP, it gives the error right away when I close the emulator.

My sys:
- MP 1.0.2
- My Emulator v.3.2? Latest from SVN
- ATI Radeon x1300
- Catalyst 9.2

ZSnes settings:
- 800x600 DS F
- SuperEagle

I've tried all sorts of tricks like binding a shutdown key to ZSnes and closing it with the assigned key instead of a default Alt-F4, to no avail.

I'm basically at a loss here, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

I'd like to second a request for in-plugin information grabbing for emulators/systems/roms, similar to the scraper that was listed a few threads down. I have my emulators all up and working, but having a blank game-list to stare at doesn't look nearly as nice as having descriptions and screenshots for all my games, but given the number of roms/psx games/etc that i have it would be prohibitively time consuming to enter all that information manually.
