Rom Collection Browser - KODI Game Frontend

Kodi V20 Fork.

Some know fixes are applied to this Fork.

Fixes:

-Game launching

-Solo Mode (Select Solo Mode also en every collection you want, Edit Rom Collection -> Select the rom collection you want-> Launch Games -> Use Emulator in Solo Mode )

-Playstation 3 now accepts game shortcuts.

-Wii U now accepts game shortcuts.

You can google on how to create shorcuts for those platforms. RPCS3 is just a click. Cemu a few more clicks. Then just add your platform and select shortcuts folder.

-Language files updated.

Works on Kodi V18, V19, V20.

Only Tested on Windows.

Features

Game Import / Scraping

  • scan your rom folders and import games to local database
  • scrape artwork and game info from various online sources
  • import local available data (descriptions, artwork, videos)
  • results from all different scrape processes can be mixed together
  • two scraping modes: Automatic: Accurate, Interactive: Select Matches
  • create local nfo files while scraping (option to reimport local files without scraping)
  • create scrape result files (missing artwork, missing descriptions, possible mismatches)
  • import options dialog: asks for most important import options on every game import

Game Browsing

  • filter games by console, genre, year, publisher and first character
  • automatic video playback in video window
  • game details page
  • different views of the main window
  • configurable image placing (choose filetype for background, gamelist, etc.)
  • fully skinnable UI: already skinned for Estuary, Confluence, Night and Carmichael (other skins will use the Estuary look and feel)
  • dedicated MAME views to display cabinets and marquees

Game Launching

  • launch roms and standalone games in solo or non-solo mode (solo mode quits XBMC and relaunches it when you quit the emulator)
  • supports direct launching of savestate files
  • detect games in zip and 7z archives and ask user which game to load
  • store game launch count in db
  • restore viewstate when returning to RCB

RCB scrapes data from these sites (don't forget to visit, register and contribute!):

RCB also imports game information from some file formats that you need to download first. See the wiki for more information.
