Gaming On Xbmc?
« on: February 28, 2005, 09:56:00 PM »

I can't find anything on setting up my xbmc to launch games... what do I add in my xml file?

And do they play the games as well as launching them from Evox?

Thanks!

I actually wish it wasnt automatic, or that I could manually define what I wanted in an XML file.  I like being able to label the games what I want, instead of the automatic names read from the XBE.  Sometimes I only want to show certain programs and not others, and the auto search function doesnt let you specify what you do and dont want to show up.

Then manually specify each program in the <path>.

Also, you can set it to use the Directory Name as the XBE description instead of the embedded XBE description.
