Absolute beginner speaking: believe me, a reply like that is really precious, because there is no way to understand how Coinops works. I had to guess that default.xbe is the main file that have to be launch to make appear Coinops main screen, because nothing about that is wrote on any readme file. After DAYS of hunting for related docs inside this forum or Google, still I don't have idea if what I'm doing (about installing) is correct or not because who wrote about Coinops seems to be people who well know what they do and how to install it, they (rightly) focus on bugs or changes and the searching for basic docs is despersive and frustrating. anyway, if I have correctly inferred these are the main steps you need to do..: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You must have a modified Xbox (??) -- Install XBMC dashboard on it (or a similar one) -- Unpack Coinops on your computer. -- Copy (using ftp) the Coinops main folder inside the largest partition of Xbox (in my Xbox v1.1 the largest is E: ) -- DEFAULT.XBE is the main file that have to be launch to start Coinops -- If you want Coinops as your main dashboard you have to create a shortcut of default.xbe file .... (the *how* is this is still a mistery here. Now I'm going to try what you just wrote above..) ...otherwise you can make it run using a file manager, moving inside E:\\Coinops folder and running default.xbe by hand (??) -- Disable the info tracking to dramatically reduce the game loading time **pressing BACK and START together** and entering in the advanced menu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- what's wrong/missing? I well understand the above looks like extremly boring for who of you are use to focus on deeper sides of Coinops, but unless the philosophy is "less than we are, better is", I hope some simple "coinops for dummies" lines will be added on the README file in next Coinops release. I would be happy to help in this, but as you can see I still do not know how to do it, and my English is shameful. Anyway I hope my post will be helpful for someone else, total newbie as me. For everything else, I have only GREAT COMPLIMENTS to be done. Coinops is a wonderful creation to recycle the old xbox, TNX!!
