I've been trying to launch dolphin in xbmc using the rom collection browser add-on...so far it works great for mupen64plus and vba-m. Those emulators only need to have the rom file as their only argument on the command line. In dolphin to do that I use the -b and the -e <rom> arguments. It works great outside of xbmc, but when I do this within xbmc, it still opens and starts the game, but It doesn't seem like the window is "mine". Mouse clicks and keyboard presses dont work or joysticks either. The window will not go fullscreen, even if I have "Use Fullscreen" enabled. It will make the window fullscreen but the game will remain at the windowed resolution. Has anyone had this kind of experience using xbmc? I really would like all my games to be ran from one place and not have to exit xbmc to play GC and Wii.
This is on Arch Linux 64-bit, and xbmc is being ran from within xfce environment (not standalone). I've been speculating permissions issues and have tried running dolphin instead with /usr/bin/sudo -u <user> like what I have seen on xbmc's wiki, but that has not worked. Any help is greatly appreciated.
