Hi guys!

I am trying to set up some emulators in Emby via the Game Browser.

For testing I focus on snes9x and Dolphin right now. Both run on the same Windows NUC as the Emby server itself.

I have configured my game library according to the guide. It resides on a nas with UNC path \\192.168.0.4\Stream\Games\

Now, when I configure snes9x as an external player, In use the arguments

-m

{Path}

 

If I try to start a game, snes9x opens, but I only get a black screen.

However, I can load roms in snes9x once the app is open.

So it can access the nas and the files...

I assume that I am doing something wrong with the arguments. Is there anything I have to do with the PathVariable? Or what else could I be missing?

 

With Dolphin, the emulator does not even start after clicking the game. Also, I am probably doing something wrong with the arguments here...

 

 

 

I just realized I did in fact use the wrong argument (-m)

I removed that now. However, the game is still not loading ..

How exactly did you configure it? Does the Emby Theater machine have direct access to the path \\192.168.0.4\Stream\Games\ ?

Hi everybody 

On my Windows PC, I have \\volume1\Games\...\game.a26 , but the {path} is like /volume1/Games/.../game.a26 
How can I use the {path} to locate the file on my Windows PC, please ?

 

Regards,
Guillaume

First, browse to the path in windows explorer. Then whatever path you used in windows explorer, that is what you will need.

Currently only Emby Theater for Windows and Linux support it via launching external players, but over time we'll support it on more platforms.

Please correct me if I'm wrong or if I've overlooked something; playing games in the Game Browser is only possible with:

• EmbyTheater on Windows and Mac
• not on the new Linux app
• not on an LG TV with the Emby app

Although for me, it would only be relevant on the LG TV anyway.

Thank you.
