[QUOTE="level20peon, post: 206306, member: 28613"] Whatever... MyPrograms has had problems for AGES. When I created [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mame_myprograms_messed_up-t24356.html"]this[/URL] thread in [COLOR="Red"]JUNE[/COLOR] it already had been months... June, July... you do the maths. I respect the rules of this community so I usually don't ask developers themselves for personal support but after nearly a year passed I finally decided to do so in this case. So chefkoch carried on where the progress stopped. Don't get me wrong, I am happy you rewrote the code but I don't need code lying on some server for ages, I need a productive MediaPortal environment. I don't think chefkoch has done anything wrong by grabbing OpenSource (!) code and continuing development. Pff... what was your contribution to this ? @ all having problems with MAME, here is a step by step instruction: [B]1. [I]Create a new Application item[/I][/B] [IMG]http://sickos.org/~w4r/FTP/mpforum/MAME1.gif[/IMG] [B]2. [I]Name your item (ie "MAME") and select the path to your executable[/I][/B] [IMG]http://sickos.org/~w4r/FTP/mpforum/MAME2.gif[/IMG] [B]3. [I]Now have a look at the order, I think this causes your problems.[/I] 3.1 [I]Select the correct roms folder[/I] 3.2 [I]Click this button[/I] 3.3 [I]Hit the "update database" button[/I][/B] [IMG]http://sickos.org/~w4r/FTP/mpforum/MAME3.gif[/IMG] [B]4. [I]You now should see all your roms... but since this plugin is not bugfree, yet you have to do some cleanup:[/I] 4.1 [I]Delete the "dir" entry as well as your console OS files (like "NeoGeo", "NSS", "NSS_SMW", "PLAYCH10"... you might have only "NeoGeo")[/I] 4.2 [I]You can edit the names of your Games by selecting them and then click on "Edit". Note: You cannot change your images here (buggy feature). Just create a .jpg file with a name equal to your rom file (ie "garou.zip" -> "garou.jpg") and copy it to your "MediaPortal\thumbs\MyProgramsAlt\MAME" directory (\MAME subdir if you named your Application item "MAME")[/I][/B] [IMG]http://sickos.org/~w4r/FTP/mpforum/MAME4.gif[/IMG] [B]5. [I]Done ![/I][/B] @ all having problems with a direct filelauncher item: [B]1. [I]Add an Application item[/I][/B] [IMG]http://sickos.org/~w4r/FTP/mpforum/MAME1.gif[/IMG] [B]2. [I]Select the "ShellExecute" checkbox. When you want your files displayed in root folder also check the "show files in ROOT-folder" checkbox[/I][/B] [IMG]http://sickos.org/~w4r/FTP/mpforum/ROOT1.gif[/IMG] [B]3.
