hi man .. can you tell me how can i put on pc games ??

@maltercb

I made the shortcuts in a folder, but what should I do about platform? I tried Windows and PC Booter, but I don't know what to do when it asks for an emulator.

[maltercb]

@Sunfizz98

Windows as platform is correct. Emulator depends on RCB version: In 0.8.x versions you will need a batch file that launches your .lnk files. Since 0.9.1 RCB can launch the lnk files directly (the wizard won't even ask you for an emulator anymore).

@maltercb I'm on 0.9.1 RCB now, but it still isn't importing any of my games. I named them all with the titles from the giantbomb site, and they all have art and descriptions. Yet, nothing gets imported. Example. Touhou 06 - The Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil

@Sunfizz98 Is Giantbomb the only scraper you are using? It may be a problem because I disabled artwork download from giantbomb and RCB won't import games wihout artwork by default. Try it again with mobygames, you can also use more than one scraper at a time. If you still have problems you can also come to the RCB thread at xbmc.org forums. It is easier to discuss the problem there.

How the heck do I import a standalone game that uses an .exe to launch the game?

[maltercb]

@Sunfizz98

You should create shortcuts to your games. Create one folder with all shortcut files and add this folder as rom folder in RCB. Use *.lnk as file mask.

thanks for your response. I will try the Eden version.

where did u get version 0.8.9 from ? I only see the 0.8.7 version

[maltercb]

@terryliver

0.8.7 is in the Dharma repo, 0.8.9 is the version in the Eden-repo (next version of XBMC - only available as nightly build). Feature set of 0.8.7 and 0.8.9 is identical.

There is also a new test version of RCB available (0.9.0). You will find it as downloadable zip on the project page.

I GOT A QUESTION, HOW OR WHERE DO I INSTALL IT ON THE XBOX, I DRAG TO SCRIPTS BUT RUNS REALLY FUNKY, AND THE ICON DONT SHOW LIKE IF IT WAS JUST A FOLDER KIND OF WEIRD WELL IF YOU CAN HELP ME THAT BE COOL

[maltercb]

@notthesameman

Unzip it to XBMC\scripts. You have to create the folder if it is not present. For me it looks like this on Xbox: /F/Apps/XBMC/scripts/script.ga­mes.rom.collection.browser

Latest combination that I tested on Xbox is XBMC 3.0.1 (stable) with RCB 0.8.6.

@maltercb i got you im like 4 months late i found out how to do this but thanks anyways, by the way do you know a fast skin for xbmc4xbox, i use jx720 as i modded it with fanart, but i liked ellipsis but dont run movies on navix at 720, so i stayed with jx720.

@notthesameman

No, sorry. I am not really up to date on my xbox, just checking it from time to time for compatibility tests.
