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!):

• http://thegamesdb.net - game data + artwork (boxfront, boxback, fanart)
  
• http://www.giantbomb.com - game data + artwork (screenshot)
  
• http://www.mobygames.com - game data + artwork (screenshot, boxfront, boxback, cartridge)
  

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