  1. IIRC some emulators require the roms to be on the root of the disc, not within a folder. Just have a look around X-S first before you start to burn any monster roms collections :banghead:

     

    You should have plenty of room left even on a stock HDD. I've got by with stock HDDs for all my consoles. Even if you pick a handful of your favourite games for each emulator and copy them to their respective folders, it'll save using a DVD most of the time.

  2. Your best and safest bet is to grab the Auto Installer Deluxe (AID), currently floating around on some torrent sites. I think the latest version is 4/5. It comes with XBMC and various other dashboards. It'll let you install multiple dashboards to wherever you specify too, with a shadow Virtual C drive to protect your softmod from any future mistakes you might make.

     

    Then you can update your XBMC any time by downloading the newest version from here.

  3. Ok 720p is being skinned now :thumbsup1: its pretty much in.... do you like the way autofires done now gavin19?

     

    also it maybe missing settings but it has so many HK doesnt have...people ignor that I can go though at least 10 major ones and 50 minor ones..... let alone the keymapping vmm etc

     

    Yep, autofire is just fine as it is :)

  4. well bp i went through most of the settings and all seems fine.. as far as the screen adjustment it looks good and it is easier the way you have it but one thing i did notice is when you first rebuild coinops and go into the adjustment screen it's full screen but after you set it and leave and go back in at the bottom theres about a 1/2'' or so of the red showing but it don't effect the way you set it the first time going in there at all.

     

    Same here. Great stuff as ever BP. I'm pretty amazed myself at how may people stick with HK$ build even though they don't use half of the features. The only thing that was missing from CoinOPS IMO was the autofire.

  5. i have a silver account and have downloaded tonnes of games off xbox live,the only way you can get caught is if you are actually playing backups online.

    by the way i have a firmware flashed drive as well.

     

    Note that even going online to update a game counts as playing online. The only way to be 100% safe is to never connect to Live. There have been plenty of reports of people never having played backups online and still getting banned. It's entirely up to you.

  6. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD NEWS!!!! I put in a newer game and told the xbox to do an update so that I could play on xbox live. After the update was finished I turned off the xbox and turned it back on. Now I can boot to the M$ xbox dash!!!!! Now what do i do? I tryied to access the xbox through ftp, but this didn't do anything.

     

    I've used the 'hotswap' method dozens of times to gain access to the Xbox HDD and then ran the Ndure installer to softmod it. It does carry a risk if you don't do it right though. If you aren't completely comfortable with it then I'd pass it off to someone who knows what they're doing :)

  7. No the BAED doesn't work. This stinks cause I bought this xbox b/c I didn't want to actually fool w/ the initial soft modding itself. I hope I can contact the guy I bought it from and see if he will re-softmod it.

     

    Is there anyway that I will be able to keep some of the files that I added to the xbox's hard drive?

     

    Thanks for all the help.

     

    If the guy knows what he is doing then you should only lose what was on your C drive, with any luck.

  8. Your best bet is to get hold of an installer like AID4 instead of playing about with your dash files if you're not sure. With it you can specify which dash to use and where it will be located. For example, my dash is XBMC but it located at E:\XBMC. You will need a secondary dash at some point so you should download UnleashX and extract it to say 'Apps' on E. You will need to boot into UnleashX to update XBMC at a later date as you cannot do it on the fly as files will be in use by the system. There are some nice 720p skins for XBMC, especially MediaStream.

     

    Good luck!

  9. O.K. Well I downloaded xsnexbox and moved the folder to my xbox's hd - put it in my "emulator" folder and i have one quick question. I can get the emulator to run if I go through file explorer and click on the default.xbe, but I was wondering how could I make a file to click on when, like when I go to the emulator folder off of my dashboard (just like when I added mame x, fba-xxx, etc.). Thanks!

     

    Ben

     

    I don't know how it works with UnleashX, how to make shortcuts I mean. XBMC does it for you automatically as long as you have the emulator in the 'emulator' folder. The latest Zsnesbox is 3.5 IIRC btw.

  10. I've been playing Illusion of Gaia how about you guys? I need some new games to play on 1080i on my Xbox

     

    Good choice! Usually something with the 'Super-' prefix does the trick. R-Type, G'n'G, Mario Kart etc.

     

    Small tip. 720p is better picture quality for motion, 1080i for stills, due to the higher resolution. Progressive > Interlaced. Though I imagine it'd barely be noticeable for SNES games.
