  1. Sup, yeah tis going good, or at least it was until my XBOX decided not to run the Mortal Kombat Pack?! Just obtained the .iso and have ftp'd over to the box but it wont launch in Unleash-X for some reason. Thoughts? Back to the CoinOps. I couldn't tell you what version I run at the moment, I can only assume its the first release, obtained via torrent and to be fair, I wasn't really looking for it or knew at all what it was until I tried it out. I'm reasonable new to the XBOX mod world (still had an XBOX kicking about and decided to soft-mod it for a media centre, then realised what else it could do). Also, I can't seem to find much info on this Menu-X you speak of, however, I have stumbled across a thread from a chap who has built a cab powered by an XBOX and somehow he has managed to use XBMC as a front-end launcher for multiple emulators. This could well be the way forward as essentially the box could boot straight to that and then run multiple MAME emulators (provided XBMC supports MAME as well as Sega, Nintendo and all that jazz) or CoinOps (again, as long as XBMC supports). There seems to be a wealth of information on this here site though which should give me plenty of reading to be going on with. Apologies, I have drifted somewhat off-topic here. Is CoinOps Ignite scheduled for an appearance on XBINS or will I have to search harder?
  2. This is some pretty great news, however, there are a couple of questions I would like to address. 1. Does this run the same front-end as CoinOps or have there been modifications to it? 2. Have the age old 'Midway' issues been fixed, eg. Mortal Kombat 2 and NBA Jam working, with sound and at full speed? 3. Actually, I don't have a third question... That'll be all. The reason for my cutiosity is I'm considering a cabinet build and wish to use the XBOX instead of a PC (don't need to spend money on this part of the build, cooling issues, reduced cabinet size etc). I want to use CoinOps as the platform due to the fact is looks excellent and runs everything well (except one level of Marvel Vs Capcom, that was my third question, is that bug fixed?). Without Mortal Kombat 2, it just wouldn't be worth it. I know I could use a second EMU for the Midway games but I figure if I power the cabinet from the XBOX I can just boot to CoinOps when powered on instead of messing about with the menus. Obviously, unless anyone has any better ideas or is prepared to develop a version of 'maximus arcade' for the XBOX. Still, awesome use of many man hours, hellsfury!
