With the new HL and using mq5 the last few days which has rcb support i was think of using that as well. Artwork for HS is sometimes time consuming.

My laptop runs 4tb of romsets and with my htpc im cutting it down with roms I actually play/enjoy with my friends.

Sweet. Yeah it should be loads easier to use HL with advanced launcher now it's front end independent. You should just be able to set up system by system in advanced launcher. Might need a little tweaking on the HL side.

djvj has just posted a new page in the HL wiki about the new HL CLI in 3.1. It will help you get the systems setup in Advanced Launcher if you end up going with that.

I started to migrate more towards XBMC as a frontend, because the game info and style fit my needs currently. Which is better to use, Advanced Launcher or Rom Collection Browser?

tonesmalone, I used your XBMC/Kodi script and it works great but the only thing is when it launches back into Kodi it has a focus issue where taskbar is ontop. You have to mouse click kodi to refocus. Anyway to fix this?

I am using the default kodi theme confluence.

Yeah I guess it's possible. I have XBMC set as the windows shell using group policy anyway so I never see the taskbar.

What command would you need to add to make it regain focus?

Shell Windows as I've mentioned above. Is your box dedicated for xbmc / HyperSpin?

Xbmc should be focused using the start command I have in the script already. If that's not working, Google is your friend.

It's primary setup to use XBMC but on occasion I do use it for other things so I need the taskbar.

I am a complete noob when it comes to scripting so forgive me if I am not understanding you completely.

It's cool. The script as is should be focusing xbmc when it loads again. I don't know why it's not. Sorry dude.

If you use it mostly for xbmc and you have the Pro version of windows you can set xbmc to load instead of the Windows desktop. If you then ever need to drop back into Windows you would close xbmc and open the task manager and get explorer.exe (the windows desktop) to load. That's how I have it.

Using xbmclauncher i regain my focus. Xbmclauncher has options to exclude giving xbmc focus when hyperspin and emulators are running.

It also shells xbmc and when i need the taskbar or a desktop i just press windowskey + E

I looked up xbmc launcher, looks like there xbmclauncher 4.1 and Kodiauncher 1.0. I assume since I am using Kodi to use Kodi launcher. Do I use kodilaucher inconjuction with tonemalones hyperspi.bt file?
