hey all, was tranferring over mameox to my xbox using filezilla and it kept going a bit weird on me :s

 

i worked out what the problem was, i couldnt transfer over the files without extentions so 'file' wouldn't work and 'file.1 would' which i could then rename back after it had gone over

 

anyone else had this problem? this has happened with unleashx 0.38 and .39 so far :s

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 ;)
