Do you plan something to sort by "genre" (action/strategy...), it would be very cool

yeah, I have genre information in the database but the data quality was not really good when creating files for the importers.... (too many sub-genres etc.)
but I will think of it... at least manually entered genres should be a "sort by" item in MP!

Maybe I'm lazy reading wiki but I dont understand what type of sheet I should use to create a "snes" emu. is it a 'directory-cach' or 'program launcher' or what?

For SNES, "Directory-Cache" is the way because you want the plugin to scan a folder to catch all your roms......

Have fun!

Great! thanks!

Is 'directory-cach' best for all emu's?

It is the best mode if you don't use any external tool to gather detail data about the games.

If you do use a tool (like the http://www.getmygames.com thing), you can use one of the importer-modes ("*.my file" / "mlf file") to get more complete information in MediaPortal.

Have fun!

SEGA CD not supported?

Sorry to bug you with all my questions but I cant get Kega working with SEGA CD. Any idea how to set up MP to launch SEGA CD .iso,.bin?

no problem, you don't bug me, stormer!

I'm not at home, that's why I cannot really help before the weekend.

Does KEGA work with SEGA CDs outside of MP?
If yes, check the command line parameters, if no, make it work without MP before...

If you need more info, check the KEGA forums (google for kega and you should find the eidolon's inn page if I'm right).


EDIT:
Stormer, in the upcoming release, cd-rom access from MP will be improved! Right now (0.1.0.10), many external programs launched by MP cannot access the cd-drive - because of the autoplay-feature (ePSXe for example). This is fixed and could fix your problem too....

Have fun,

Daniel
