Changelog
v3.3
-Fixed bug where if "Show only PC games"
was checked then games couldn't be
executed, thanks M4rc0
v3.2 Contributed by squega
-There is now an option within emulator
configuration to toggle Mediaportal to
automatically suspend itself and its
rendering while an executed ROM is running.
This behavior now happens automatically
for PC games.
-The initial load of this plugin
after opening Mediaportal or its
configuration is no longer slow.
-A menu has been added to the
Game Database section named "Refresh Games
Database" menu in the configuration
that checks for any new roms within each
emulator's ROM directory. This functionality
used to be called when the emulator
initially loaded, causing the slowdown.
-A new menu has been added to the Configuration
under the Game Database named "Backup/restore
database" that will do a complete dump of all
the information in the database of your
emulators and games (including PC games) to an
XML file and allow you to restore it back to
the database.
-An option was added to the configuration
under the Options section that sets this
plugin to only display PC games.

section in a list of games no longer runs
the first game highlighted.

alphabetically sorted.

latest date the game has been launched.

PURPOSE
This plugin lets the user in a quick and
easy way list and launch the ROMs on the
harddrive in an installed emulator.
It also features a database function that
can hold information about how many times
a game has been played, a grade and more.

After having used a NAS for a couple years, I decided to build an HTPC to fulfill the tasks of playing movies, series and the such, and also play older emulated games. I accepted having to use different apps to combine the tasks - therefore, when I found MP and its functions, I was pleased. Even more so when I found My Emulators, because it basically completes my wishes.
Although there is no automatic info grabbing for games (well, duh, there isn't a site like IMDB for games, right?), it's been doing everything I want so far. I'm not sure if I simply oversaw this, but creating something like own lists for games (such as "The Mega Man Series" for all Mega Man games, no matter what platform they're on) would be really cool. Apart from that, wonderful extension. Thanks!

I Love MP. I love all the plugins for my movies, music and tv shows that really make my htpc sparkle to life. i wanted this for my games having around 34 pc games i thought there should be a plugin like of movingpictures. but alas there was not, but there was this. it allowed you to basically run a games exe from inside MP withing an organised file system. Unfortunately there was no built in scarper and no advance editor so this had to be all done by a very tedious task of manual insertion. if they added these features and it was all automatic then this would be a 5 star app and i don't see why they cant do it. Just copy other plugins instead of movies, it games!!!!
