Some features in Rom Collection Browser require actions on XBMC startup: starting RCB after launching emulators in solo mode and scraping games on XBMC startup.

Installing

This add-on is installed from the Add-on browser located in Kodi as follows:

Adding games

This paragraph explains how to add games to the RCB(Rom Collection Browser) that are installed on your system. Support for standalone games works as follows:

  • Create a folder with shortcuts to your standalone games (e.g. lnk-files)
  • in RCB start the Add Rom Collection Wizard
  • use Linux, Macintosh or Windows as System
  • select the path to your shortcuts, the file mask (e.g. *.lnk) and the folder to store the artwork

FAQ

Read this section if you have problems getting RCB working.

What should my Emu parameter look like
RCB will just use "%ROM%" as emu cmd and leaves the emu params blank

I'm using batch files for launching games
If you have already configured your standalone games using batch files for launching you will need to reconfigure it. Just set emu cmd to "%ROM%" and leave emu params blank. All the rest should work automatically.
