i believe the primary boot for an xbox is the rom drive, then if no bootable media is found it then defaults to the hdd, i use a modchip and softmods on another machine and if i leave a disk in then thats what boots. There may be ways or options but ive never looked into it. Even easier take the disc out after playing and put it away proper n safe then voila, problem solved !

where ever your current dash xbe is you just cant copy xbmc.xbe there it needs the rest of the files in the folder too, otherwise ... never mind.

Now it needs modding again. "IF" you do enough reading, you have lots of options. The "FREE" and safe-ish way involves taking it apart, and use "NDURE'S Softmod 3.1" for any model of xbox. Which again is easy and a good tutorial exists, its always worked for me. You want to avoid that right ! You may have to buy or borrow a memory card for the gamesave exploit however that requires certain original games that are getting rare now. What ever you decide, read and understand every part of it "at least" a few times. Measure twice, cut once. Right !

if you are stuck i will send you an email with instructions on how to fix it safely with a small download and an any original game if it will boot one. Any model of xbox. ps dont let anyone bullsh$$ you it cant be mended, it can as long as it will boot an original game. The MS dash hasnt necessary dissapeared either, trust me.

im supposing beta 5 has made it into the wild by now, will wait for b6 i think, just built debug machine BP to start having a look at a patch/s

be aware, if your softmod was induced using ndures method then your softmodded dash isnt on c:, it has been shadowed to e: under a folder called dash, try to figure out which method has been used. Regardless of method its an easy process as long as you are aware of the structure of your drives. What works for others may not be the case for you.

Nice to see the changes being listed as this will prevent a lot of posting needlessly "myself for one". Good work guys.

LightGun / Analogue x,y sensitivity and joy/key speed settings not saved after exiting a rom. Pain to keep inputting this every game just when you have it right.

Could i request from the team a default.xbe with its own unique save directory ie: TDATA/coinopsgun / lightgun as i wish to burn a lightgun CDX disk with house of the dead 3, silentscope complete and Ignite with just gun games. I dont any of my settings to interefere with the arcade version of Ignite. PS. Public Appology I owe an appology to HellFury, i said he quoted some bad info, which is not true, i researched every page on the forum till i found what i was looking for and it turned out to be a diffrent member. Its my mistake i must have read the wrong name to a different post.

Solved bad calibration issue with Ignite calibration screen. Download, install Mameox 128. Calibrate your gun in its calibration screen (no roms required ). Follow onscreen instructions, B to exit. Close emulator. Use an xbox file browser or ftp in from a pc and go to TDATA 4d414d5 and copy the file Lightgun(numbers).dat. Browse to babeface directory in TDATA it will have a LightGun_000000000000.dat already there which needs deleting as they likely have different numbering. Just copy the new gun.dat in and remember to re-name it LightGun_000000000000.dat . If you calibrate within the Ignite UI you will prbably overwrite you mapped co-ordinates.

just tried Lethal Enforcers 2 and as with jpark opwolf3 the d-pad has to be used to play. Although its playable with the d-pad, especially for those without a lightgun. Servise screen calibration only allows player 1 the top left triangle of the screen and player 2 the bottom right triangle of the screen.It kinda loses something. Its like playing a modern racing game but having to use buttons to steer left or right, just no feel or soul, looses its interaction kinda a step backwards !

F.A.O. stf. Tried Steel Gunner 1 + 2 as you requested in an earlier PM the other day. Both track well enough and will fire at the onscreen target reticle in game. You stated it would only fire to the center of the screen, i seem to remember that being the case with other xbox mame variants a while back, well i dont seem to have that problem. However the further from the right of the screen the further the calibration is out up to 3 inches by the time the reticle/crosshair reaches the left side of the screen. As ive posted in another topic i dont think the emulator calibration screen is working right as it has no top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right targets to calibrate. Then no further button press to save config, i just press B to exit calibration screen. Any ideas ?

How about adding american laser games ?

Buy the LCD TopGun with with rails and stands and use the vertical configuration for Projectors. Half the games on the list dont work also either they require chd files or cant be calibrated or have bad roms ie Lethal Enforcers 2 etc. The vs games are no good unless you have 2 players ( therefore 2 guns)

tried a few diffrenrt preconfiguered nvram's for Jurassic Park and Op Wolf 3. They work perfect if you are using a d-pad on the joypad, the analogue control on the joypad is screwy still and the lightgun's donrt seem to be affected by this fix either which i didnt expect anyway. Using in game calibration on a widescreen tv the top right should map 0, 0 and the bottom left maps 510 ,510. Now i thought i was in 720p but it must be in 576 or there abouts ?

never used baed or xsnes9x, however i presume it may be in the emulator options to start with background music, if your running the emulator from a physical dvd then you havent wiped it, you say you can browse to the tune and select it but you have to let the emulator use it. It will be an option in the emulator itself. Or i could be completely wrong.

No need to quit posting. I personally believe everybody's input, whether positive or negative, must be a good thing as it helps point out things that others may never have noticed. We all use the emulator for differing types of games and thats how it should be. I thought you were a coder, no one told me i just presumed as we seemed to share an interest in the lightgun games and you have nvrams to calibrate certain problematic roms. My own ignorance i suppose. ps. Those nvram's then ?

More old school games added today. The guns i used to have were the Berrettas ( very high quality ) Now i have the LCD TopGun from EMS ( Berretta rip off )

you won't believe it but the settings were made for joypad (so i can shoot the fullscren in jpark & opwolf3). But the case of using hardware lightgun is really interesting. I really think you should create a new thread talking about guns, so interest all guns users (and you seem to master your stuff). Steel gunners 1&2: shots only in the center of the screen, aren't they ? I don't know about lightguns, but thoses 2 games can't be played with a pad or a mouse in any PC version of mameui (we can target items but only shoot at the center of screen). EDIT: Sorry i've just seen the thread !!!! good stuff !! One thing Stf to look at, i noticed a few yrs back with another mame variant that the gun calibration screen used to calibrate within mame ui itself in a normal fashion ie shoot center then top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right, press button to confirm/save. Then in an update to that mame variant the Gun calibration screen only had the shoot the center of the screen no shooting the corners. Now this mame variant "Ignite" uses that calibration method, ie .. no shooting the corners which isnt giving the program the screen co ordinates is it ? Something to perhaps look into and resolve !

Rather than clogging up other topics i decided to post this list of workig LightGun roms that work with a LightGun and not a pad. Due to the way the service menu's work i put a pad in port 1 for admin and the LightGun in port 2. Alien 3 The Gun Bang Beast Busters EggVenture DX Gun Buster Lethal Justice NY Captor (Gun in port 1 only) One Shot Kill Operation Wolf (Gun in port 1 only) Operation Thunderbolt Police Trainer SharpShooter SpaceGun Terminator 2 Tickee Tackats Under Fire Zero Point Zero Point 2 Zombie Raid Added some older roms that only play from port 1 Catch-22 (Gun in port 1 only) Cheyenne (Gun in port 1 only) Chiller (Gun in port 1 only) Clay Pigeon (Gun in port 1 only) Combat (Gun in port 1 only) CrackShot (Gun in port 1 only) Crossbow (Gun in port 1 only) Triple Hunt (Gun in port 1 only) Turkey Shoot (Gun in port 1 only) WhoDunnit (Gun in port 1 only) Now all the other roms listed in the catver.ini are either bad dumps, missing roms or dont work. There are some crackers out there that need looking at as they only have calibration issues. Only tried a few so far but here they are. Golly Ghost Jurassic Park Operation Wolf 3 Locked n Loaded Steel Gunner 1 + 2 + Many More

used to have 4:3 res tv, still do upstairs for the acorn electron and dreamcast. However the problem games then on a 4:3 res tv are still the problem games now on lcd widescreen nothing has changed despite which tv i use, ps hellsfury you quoted games you got to work ie op wolf alien 3 the gun etc, well sorry to p*** on your bonfire but they worked anyway and still do, try golly ghost or jurassic park, steel gunner 1 or 2 on any tv you wish with either a laser gun or standard light gun the results are the same, trust me. Your not using a joypad to play then are you ?

tried it 3 or 4 yrs ago, most wont work and those that will require a lot of vm tweaks just to get running very slowly, however i do have the cpx3 emulator and it manages with small chd files.

nope, all old files from coinops+ were deleted, the save files were removed even though they have a different save folder as you well know, streching the screen to fit widescreen creates a fish eye lensing effect ( ie the further toward the edge of the screen you point the further the calibration drifts ) which i found out a long time ago with other mame variants. My TV is Full HD to which i only run the xbox @ 720p. Ignite started in the correct res n size from the first install so i left it as i presumed this was a HD project. Maybe somewhere there was an old cfg of sorts which got left behind but i doubt it im quite thorough. I have tried 4:3 res fixes before but they dont fix the calibration issues, the issues remain with the same games. As i stated earlier is this an analogue issue with certain roms ?

re LightGun issues roms that never used to work before ive downloaded and tested again with ignite beta 4 Op Wolf 3, Steel Gunner 1 + 2, Golly Ghost, Jurassic Park there are more in the catver.ini but im limited to a few at a time as i have to reboot between XDSL & Ignite. The issue is this, i calibrate my lcd topgun hardware perfect, calibrate within ignite, calibrate within the rom service menu then launch ( leaving the crosshair onscreen for comparison ) the above mentioned games are about 2 - 4 inches out from the gun - crosshair. So to double check i calibrated the games from the service menu using the pad as the gun. I now see you have the pad being able to reach all of the corners as long as we dont use the analogue thunb sticks, now i think here is the problem, doesnt a light gun work like the analogue thumbstick ? if so then it cant calibrate to the corners. A lot of the other supported roms work without this issue. PS loads of good light gun games need adding really, no other build ever bothered which is a shame. Lethal enforcers series never used to work amongst others which are listed in your catver.ini. I did create a LightGun only version of CoinOps+ with correct nv ram, cfg's, screenshots, catver etc however it was deleted when i got Ignite last night.
