Yeah that's the same problem I had - I'm on MP_RC2 (Windows 7 64bit). I couldn't get it to work so I've gone back to the official 3.5 version of myemulators which works fine - using the OGDB scraper for game details but it's taking me a while to do!
Ugh I wish someone would repick up this torch and run with it. If only I could go back a few years and not focus so much on hardware and graphic design... maybe I'd have come coding experience so I could do it myself.
Hey guys
I recently updated to 1.10 rc3 and I can open myemulators but after I select a console and click nothing happens. I have roms to access and they are up on the database. Anyone else run into this problem?
EDIT:I have attached some of the mediaportal log I dont really understand it so if someone does let me know.
Is this still being supported. There are a few issues that I think woudl be good to have a look at
- Performance I have 1600+ games and going to/from the Emulators screen is tediously slow.
- The are work for the system - I can seem to get that to work I tried putting BoxFront.jpg in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\myEmulators\emulators\Mame but they weren't found
- Also the system of putting the artwork in the \myEmulators\games\*SYSTEMNAME*\*GAMEID directory is not a good idea mainly because its hard to knwo what the GameId is outside of MediaPortal and therefore script downloading of teh arkwork to be put into that folder. It would be better to use the name before the .zip part of the game files. Doing a search online for stargate dos not find anything so maybe the plugin need to be also configured with a mame source of art.
I'm not criticing the plugin I think its great but need a bit of polish to be fantastic and usable by lots of people straight out of the box.
As I dont use MP at all anymore, supporting this plugin is a little low on my priority list. I MAY however try to fix any outstanding bugs and get it working properly with 1.1.0 final when it is released, if I can spare the time.
To do this I will need bug reports (tested with 1.1.0 final when its released) with AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE, no one line "it crashes when I do x". The version that is available in this thread works fine for me, I dont get any of the issues I see reported here. This is why I need as much info as possible about the problems people are having, if I cant replicate the problem, I cant fix it.
I cannot seem to get to add PC games properly from the PC Games section, the database refresh does not pick them up. Therefore I have to add the game's exe file as an emulator with the rom file also being the same exe.

With MP 1.1.0 final being released I was wondering if you were going to pick this plugin back up for some bug fixes. I am using 1.1.0 RCx (cant remember the exact one) and I would like to update but I know that the unofficial version of myemulators has problems with database transfers from one MP to the next. Are you going to try and fix those bugs as well? If so I would like to volunteer for some testing with the move to MP 1.1.0.
