info:

Big Ass Emulator Disc FAQ

 

 

Q: Why are you posting this?

 

A: I've been watching the Xbox group for a few months, but I have yet to

 

see anyone post

an emulator disc with multiple systems. I made a disc for my own use, and

 

now I've

decided to post it. I'm sure there are many people who would like something

 

like this,

but don't have the time and/or knowledge to create it. Compiling this disc

 

took way more

time than I planned, and I'd like to save others the effort of doing it

 

themselves.

 

Q: How big is big?

 

A: 4,698,079,232 bytes

 

Q: Will that fit on a DVD?

 

A: Barely.

 

Q: What did you use for the multigame menu?

 

A: CDX.xbe, the Content Demo eXecutable, a Microsoft program used for

 

demos and kiosk

displays. See the XDK documentation or the forums on xbox-scene.com for

 

more info.

 

Q: What systems are on the disc?

 

A: - Atari 2600

- Atari 5200

- Atari Lynx

- Colecovision

- Intellivision

- MSX

- MSX2

- Nintendo Entertainment System

- Super NES

- Sega Master System

- Sega Genesis

- Turbografx 16

- Neo Geo Pocket

- WonderSwan

 

Q: How many games for each system?

 

A: Well, I started off with full GoodTools sets for every console and whittled

 

them down to

make them all fit. I removed all the overdumps and bad dumps, the

 

unplayable crap. No point

in having those on the disc. I also deleted some 16-bit hacks. Also, a few

 

official 16-bit games

had to go. I don't remember exactly what I took off, but I looked for

 

European games

for which there is also a U.S. version and deleted the Euro version. I also

 

deleted a few story-driven

Japanese games that are completely unplayable unless you speak Japanese.

 

The total number of

official games deleted is probably only about 15-20.

 

Q: How many games are there, total, between all the systems?

 

A: 14,620

 

Q: How'd you fit so many?

 

A: Except for the oldest systems (for which a full ROM set is only a few MB),

 

the emulators can all

read from ZIP archives. EVery ROM on this disc that can be zipped is

 

zipped. That's also why I

used STORE on the posted RAR archive. I would waste a whole lot of time

 

and get very little, if any,

compression on the already-compressed files.

 

Q: Can I extract the ISO and put the contents on my Xbox hard drive?

 

A: Short answer, no. Long answer, yes, with a "but." The Xbox can read

 

128-character filenames

from a disc, but filenames on the hard drive are limited to 30-something

 

characters. When you try

to transfer the contents of the ISO to the Xbox, you'll get errors on all the

 

filenames longer

than that limit. All the shorter ones should transfer fine, though, and so

 

should all the files

neccessary for the operation of all the emulators. If you want to play ALL

 

the games off the HDD,

you'll have to get a batch renamer program (there are lots of freeware ones)

 

to truncate the filenames.

 

Q: How do I exit from a game so I can choose another game?

 

A: This question is only included because it took me a while to figure out

 

and wasn't answered in

the regular FAQs for the emulators. You press the right control stick IN, like

 

it's a button.

 

Q: Are any default configuration options changed in the emulators?

 

A: Yes. All of the X-PORT emulators (the ones with a similar interface that

 

were all ported by the

same guy) have music playing by default when you're choosing your game.

 

On some, the music even

keeps going when you start playing the game! I changed the config for all

 

emulators so music doesn't

play during the game. Since there's no config option to stop the music

 

during game selection, I changed

all the songs to small files with nothing but silence. The regular songs take

 

up space, and also

most of them suck, IMHO. Even if they were good, anything will get

 

annoying if you have to hear it looping

over and over every time you choose a game.

 

Q: Why isn't an emulator for system X included? That one was my favorite!

 

A: Sorry, not enough room. The DVD can't get any fuller than it already is. If

 

there's some interest

among downloaders, I can compile a second disc with more different

 

systems.

chances are you missed it, sorry.

 

a guy posted saying he got it incomplete which happens to some ppl. also there was a minor error on the disc: when choosing intellivision to will boot to adamx (colecovision). the emu is there, he only made an error in the inx file so you can either fix it by extracting the disc and then edit the inx file or use the dash/app to list the contents of the disc and open the xbe of the emu
