    in XBOX Hacks [/xbox]

    Posted

    Hey Resx hows it goin? hope you're enjoying having a bit of a breather after all that hard work.

     

    I got the SNES set so far and it looks really cool, can;t wait for the Madmab emus to really take advantage of this stuff!

     

    There's always gonna be teething problems with a collection of this size hoe you don't let it get you down, I for one am vey grateful and for every one of me there are many more who are behind the scenes silently appreciating this.

     

    Cheers again man!

     

    Best release ever!

    Hi,

    Hi sbpaabck

     

    Sorry for the late reply

     

     

    Still no joy, however I also found thisa simular guide, http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/533828

     

    It mention primary and secondry IDE, I only have one IDE on my mc used by the dvd rom, I am running them both on the sdame cable... I have tried again and again but closest i get is error "cannot find linux cd or Please insert linx cd"

     

    I have downlopaded a recovery kit with the DVD ready built and still the same error, I made my own, then downloaded another xbox reviever with the same methord and PDF guide so I am guessing its the fact I only got 1 IDE on my PC.... :) GUTTED

     

    Open to suggestions if you have any. Thanks for your assistance so far too

     

     

    More instructions sent to your PM box, good luck :)

    Thanks everyone for the help,

     

    I tried http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=496263 but when i get to VGA console and type "XBOXHD" I get an error, cannot find linuxcd, yet it just booted from there.

     

    (see below)

     

    11. you will get a menu,now choose Option 1 (by typing 1) and press enter to boot VGA console with xbox-drive utilities (default). Type ‘xboxhd’ when it asks you for a login. Another list of options will show up, choose option 1 again (the one that says ‘Build a new Xbox HD from scratch’) and it will begin to format and write the partition table etc. when it asks you about C type yes and when it asks you if you would like an F select yes .

     

    just type xboxhd lowercase no symbols no speech marks no nothin, just:xboxhd

     

    it does work i've done it myself many time using the same links I gave you...

     

    EDIT:

     

    OH YEH! JUST REMEMBERED you need to use the disc in an internal dvd drive to work! if you try to use it via a usb dvd drive it simply won't work. The program will load off the usb dvd drive + disc but once its running it will not recognise that the disc is in the drive if connected via USB. This absolutely must be done via an internal drive or sorry it won't work...

    Hi,

     

    I have a 1.6 Xbox, the original xbox HDD is faulty / blank.. I tried using xboxhdm_v1.9 to recover it but it fails it gives an error cannot find linx,

     

    Anyway I used another xbox to which boots from DVD drive FIRST, installed evo x, that give error 05 i looked into it and tred to lock \ unlock the drive, that failed it still gives error 5 & 6.

     

    I can put ANY HDD in my other xbox that boots from DVD first and and its fine, I try in the crystal 1.6 and nothing.

     

    Can any one advise of a fix, I tried loads of things

     

    hi, you need to follow this tutorial in order to recover your hard drive:

     

    http://www.xbox-hq.com/html/xbox-tutorials-161.html

     

    I have used this method with bricked hdds many times it works every time, some of the formatting for the "s are messed up on this page, you need to type "xboxhd" without the commas to run the tool properly (this is in the tutorial it will make sense once you read through it...)

     

    here is a link for a replacement ms dashboard if you need it (see the tutorial for more info)

     

    http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5051157/Or...isLiKeCrAZy1%29

     

     

    You will need to do a "hotswap" to make this work, if you've never done this before read through this:

     

    http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=496263

     

    pay special attention to "the art of hotswapping" to get the basics. I would power the xbox hdd from the pc power supply (not the xbox one) right from the outset to provide a common ground, oh and be careful not to touch the PSU inside the xbox even when unplugged to avoid a nasty shock. I always replace the plastic tray once I unscrew the hdd just to avoid accidents (I learnt that the hard way.) also wear rubber shoes. Better safe than sorry eh :)

     

    Also don;t do this if you are drunk or stoned or both, it will take twice as long and possibly not work :)

     

    Ps you will also need a torx screwdriver set if you don't already have one.

     

    Let us know how you get on or if you have any other questions. I've done this lots and lots!

     

    Good Luck!

    CoinOps Info

    in CoinOPS

    Posted

    BP, why don't you ask the guy who made the ResurrectionX website if he would make a CoinOPS one?? (I forget his name, PM RX if you wanted it) That would solve your problem of not having a proper place to release your builds and the problem of all these people you say ruin support for it...

     

    just an idea.

     

    there's a ressurectionx website? cool, whats the address?

    XBMC freezing up

    in XBOX Hacks [/xbox]

    Posted

    I use scripts all the time, Ice_Man is correct, its probably the script.

     

    I have been having issues with the latest t3ch "stable build" it seems to freeze at random points in xbmc, usually in the menus or the filemanager.

     

    I upgraded to the lates t3ch build and the issue went away! Probably some error while compiling the source but just a guess

    Some help with winstonx

    in XBOX Hacks [/xbox]

    Posted

    Anyone know how to make a games disc for winstonx with atarist roms on it?

     

    you get the option to open roms from:

     

    "R:\ (UDF DVD-ROM)"

    and

     

    "S:\ (ISO9660 DVD-ROM)"

     

    So far I have burned the roms to disc using UDF and ISO9660 and neither disc would read, I even tried burning using QWIX to make an xbox iso but still no joy.

     

    I have all the roms in the root of the dvd and they don't show up! any ideas good ppl?

    anyone knowledgable with ftping to xboxs?

    in XBOX Hacks [/xbox]

    Posted

    sorry if you already know this:

     

    FATX, the filesystem used by Xbox, limits file or directory length to 42 characters besides of that the following characters are illegal:

     

    '=?:;"*+,/|'

     

    I use windows explorer's built in FTP. Just open file explorer:

     

    Type in ftp:// first.....then type in the username and password in this format username:password

    For most people the username and password would both be xbox.

    Then the address should say ftp://xbox:xbox

    After you do that, you must type in the ip address of your xbox in the format of @xxx.xxx.x.x

     

    The final address would be ftp://xbox:xbox@192.168.0.2/ (with the appropriate settings)

     

    Nice quick way works with vista and windows 7 not sure about xp.

     

    Apologies if you already know all this but hey it might help someone elso out too ;)

    awesome!

     

    i hope next we can see the option to turn off video preview sound while rom browsing and keep the background music going :) just a hope.

     

     

    yes, i second that :)

    i hope Nes has time to add the option. i never like how it interrupted the background music.

     

    I Third that :P

     

     

    I notice same problem in Final burn legends when i add videos.

    i hope nes figures out the coding to have an option to turn off vid sounds while background sound plays. ;)

     

    +1

     

    I agree on both emus this would be a great feature :) here's hoping :)

    LightGun Support

     

    +1 this would be great addition for FBL!! Just discovered SPACEGUN is supported :P I used to love this game but it won't be the same without a gun.

     

    Do you mean the FBL.dat says its supports SpaceGun ?

    When i rebuilt a rom set for FBL i noticed a few LightGun roms in there.

    I asked the man himself (NES6502) if FBL supported LightGuns

    before i went any further and started getting excited but alas the answer was no.

    So im guessing a few LightGun entries slipped through the net when the .dat was being built.

    Unless you know something you could share with us ?

     

    I went through all the parent roms in FBL to see which pics im missing and spacegun was in my list! (with pic and video so bonus ;) )

     

    Just loaded and tested it in FBL 1.3. I don't have a gun but the controller moves a crosshair. (player 2 crosshair just sits in the middle of the screen but can be moved off the screen.

     

    Man this game is sick! This is the game I thought was called Aliens in my other thread. You can shoot out windows and blow up a reactor in the ship! Its class for its time :)

     

    I bet this has support for a "controller lightgun" but not a real one. Still a great game tho.

    My Blue Fire Arcade skin for Final Burn Legends

    in Final Burn (FBA/FBL/FBC)

    Posted

    is it when you display video and screenshots together that your box crashes ?

     

    well, I added the folder to my skins folder then renamed it to remove the spaces and the "&" in case this was bad for the xbox (maybe this crashed it)

     

    anyway the skin showed up ok in the gui but when selected the screen goes black for a few seconds then the xbox just crashed and reset. This was for the fire and steel dual pane. No biggie tho really like the arcade cabinet one so thats cool :P

     

    easy fix. Youve renamed the folder right ! Open the folder and rename the ini exactly the same. Open the ini itself with notepad or similar and go down to line 126 (i think) and rename there too. Save and put back on xbox and voila !

     

    PS. the existing name wasn't bad for the xbox. The xbox needs names no more than 42 chars, this includes .ext, so 38 chars or spaces.

     

    D'oh, I had a feeling it was because of that (i.e. my fault lol) well cheers for the info :) Think I will just change the folder name back then...

    Final Burn Legends 1.3

    I have a little request if possible please for the next release.

     

    When pressing start then left and right to view flyers and titles etc a lot of the mame titles are so stretched to be fullscreen that they look pixelated and very ugly... They are hard to get as well :P

     

    It would be great to have an option for displaying the images in their native resolution then the user could use the zoom functions to zoom in further if desired.

     

    I've tried zooming out but they still look very pixelated. I am using 10x11 pixel ratio. Is it because I am not using HD? The images look so much better on my pc but I suppose my monitor is using a higher resolution? I would be interested to know what your thoughts are on why it is happening (I have an inquisitive mind is all...)

     

    This emulator is the best now i've got the history and the pics and that great fire and steel skin! Im gonna sort out all the optional extras and make it as slick as possible. One day this will be in a cab ... one day **dreams

     

    cheers

    If your missing any videos i'll make em for ya. It would be a break from NeoGenesis video's.

     

     

    cheers, the thing is im missing every video except the ones I nicked from coinops showcase they are the things I need most!

     

    maybe I could handle pics etc and you handle the vids and if I get any i'll send them your way, you send any pics links you come across etc my way.

     

    then i'll upload my stuff once its sorted and you upload yours once sorted? Then resx gets it and makes it even better and then adds to his extras if he wants to? hows that.... should be nice for the scene :P

    Finally:-

     

    @NES6502 could you please pm me the link you gave for that great website that had all the cool mame screenshots?

     

    It was on my topic over on xbox scene but the topic was completely removed! its gone! so if I could get the link pls will be most grateful as I will be using it for your FBL :P

     

    ps here is the same topic from here that wasn't deleted:

    I have only tested some of the links but they were still working.

     

    If anyone has any mame videos could they post a link here? Also other ppls links to this sort of stuff are very welcome here.

     

    I plan to collect as much as this stuff as possible then provide an upload for each section when I am happy with the packs. At the moment I have more stuff than listed here (not much) but hopefully if everyone chips in i'll collect it all together and upload it so it is all in one place for everyone and ready to put straight into FBL. Resx will be welcome to make use of these packs also :)

     

    This is an ongoing thing and depends if I collect enough stuff so any and all help is appreciated :P

    Hey guys,

     

    Dunno about you but been looking for stuff to add to my FBL 1.3 folder such as artwork flyers snaps etc.

     

    Below is a page I found by a guy called sacabonos, what a guy!!! he's posted loads of links to cool stuff for mame, see below... my thanks to this guy :P:):)

     

    Using the screenshot.bat is a great way to sort these packs out once you have downloaded them!

     

     

    Put all of this stuff into seperate folders the copy to your xbox into the folders: final burn legends\images\then the corresponding folder eg "\cabinet" for cabinet pics.

     

    taken from: http://www.xbins.org/nfo.php?file=xboxnfo1768.nfo

     

    "-Arcade images can now be viewed from the ROM browser. Select a game

    and press the Start button. The images go in:

     

    Control panel images - D:\Images\cpanel

    Marquee images - D:\Images\marquee

    Cabinet images - D:\Images\cabinet

    Flyer images - D:\Images\flyers

    In game screenshots - D:\Images\snap

    Title screenshots - D:\Images\title

     

    Press left and right on the D-Pad to go to the next or previous image.

    Use the left analog stick to move the image

    Use the right analog stick to zoom in or out"

     

    + Download the mame history.bat and put it in your main FBL 1.3 folder then when you select a rom and press back hey presto history and trivia! how class is that :) get mame history from here:- http://www.arcade-history.com/index.php?page=download
