    Found out for myself. Yes it does, I had to swap to an EvoX bios to get this Xbox to connect to the Insignia servers. 

     

    Use the 5003 ram fix and XBL enabled version. 
     

    Works fine 😁, though I need to use insignias DNS, so if you use other dashboards, if they allow it set them to dashboard for their network setting. (DHCP, Dashboard and Static) This will stop other dashboards overwriting the DNS. (Also set the alt DNS as 8.8.4.4 or 8.8.8.8)

  2. Does the front LED change to orange? if so home start + Y to see if it does anything. 
     

    I suspect it doesn’t since you can’t load any games/discs but that would only have happened if you took the power cable out the Xbox and the softmod install was botched. (So it’s trying to error16 and load the MSDash to set the clock, but it’s loading a corrupt dash)

     

    If you can’t load a disc and the start + y doesn’t work you will need to hotswap the drive to a PC with IDE or using a USB to IDE adaptor. 
     

    for future reference always use the quick update or upgrade zips to update the softmod, as disc drive are only going to get worse and make reading discs harder. (More chance of corruption, misreads etc…)

    Holy SHIT.

    Looks like we FINALLY have a successor to the Xecuter 3... a considerable one. This will make Cerbios redundant, and will add native unpatched support for the HD+... and we have a widescreen 720p boot animation. :)

    Don't know what the 256MB RAM support business is all about. That's new to me too. WTF?

    I LOVE MakeMHZ.

    Won’t make cerbios redundant as it requires specific hardware at $70, folk want stuff for free if they can get it. 
     

    it’s not a new bios, (per say) it’s essentially a softmod that patches the kernel (must be supplied) in memory dynamically. It uses custom libraries (like DLLs according to Dustin) to patch functions etc…


    So it’s tied to hardware and there is no way to use stellar outside of the stellar modchip. (As it’s not a bios, it’s a set of library’s)

  4. Tools I made to make stuff simpler. 

    Convert to XMV

    Resize MP4 to Xbox size

     

    if you’re converting stuff to xmv for emustation, don’t. Use the MP4 one above to convert everything. (You can leave the xmvs you already have or convert them to MP4 too)

    XBMC doesn’t really like XMV, and since there were different version used throughout the years XBMC struggle with them as it uses an open source codec and not the official MS one.

    I'm not sure what's in it.  I was looking through the scripts and saw that the content of this file was used by the emustation/scripts/run_artwork_installer.py script and did not know what it contained as I do not have such a file on my Xbox.

    Not what I was looking for though.  I'm trying to find where the artwork paths are saved.

    guisettings.xml

    when building the game lists from the gamelist.xml for a system they are generated dynamically.

     

    the location.bin just tells me where the artwork installer is stored on your Xbox. Since people can place it anywhere I needed a way to know without parsing every single partition and folder to find it.

    Artwork installer is used by 2 scripts, the shortcut script (legacy mode) under the scripts menu and the XIOS to HDD installer script, if found it will add the resources for games your parse. (Takes an extra step out)

    Here are pics of the structure of the media and inside the boxart.

    Also does this have anything I need to be concerned about?

    23:37:03 M: 30748672   ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting Q:\system\plugins\programs
    23:37:03 M: 30752768   ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting special://home/system/plugins/programs

    23:37:03 M: 30781440   ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting special://home/system/plugins/programs

     

    All looks ok 🤔

     

    as for those other errors no, they don’t matter. Just make the folder and they will vanish. If I remember I will fix that in the xbe.

    Hey Rocky5,

    I went into the xbmc.log file and it kicked this out:

    21:56:38 M: 35639296   ERROR: PICTURE: Error loading image F:\XBMC-Emustation\emustation\media\sega32x\boxarttempo.jpg
    21:56:39 M: 36179968   ERROR: Keymapping error: no such action '-' defined

    Shouldn't it be this?

    F:\XBMC-Emustation\emustation\media\sega32x\boxart\tempo.jpg

    Is there maybe a script file that needs tweaked to include the correct folder path?

    I'm also seeing this as well, anything I need to do?

    ......Now noticed the Atari 7800 is doing it too

    There is your issue. The path is wrong for the artwork. 
     

    what I normally do is have a folder on F called XBMC-Emu Files and inside I have emulators, media and roms folders. Inside those are all the system folders “nes, snes etc…”

    So fix up your folders to match above and change the custom paths to above then rescan in your systems. (Auto scan) that should fix your issue. 
     

     

    artwork paths are dynamically loaded based on where your custom paths point to. So something is wrong there, if doing the above doesn’t fix this issue, then we will need to do some more digging. Maybe do a fresh install.

    Next problem, obtain the source code for all of the required libraries to build the emulator.

    And that’s where I started getting error after error. 
     

    first error is intrin.h, got that then more errors. Comment out that include and then it’s zlib 😂, comment out that check and the. It’s more errors. I gave up and just worked around the issue 😂

  9. You download the emulator from the downloader. 
     

    unfortunately scummvm emu only allows games in its root, and I can’t change that behaviour as I couldn’t get the source to compile.

    But games go in folders inside the scummvm\games\ folder this is included with the emulator on the downloader as I include all the files required. 
     

    now the pain part, you have 2 choices. Rename folders to match the path name in the svms\*.svm files or change the paths to match your folder names.
     

    there is no automated method currently, as I can’t even parse the games folder for matches as some came share the same file names (all files) I may take another stab at it another time, but currently it was easier to do it the way I did.
     

    also to svm files have the config for the scummvm emulator and the game id so it runs. If it doesn’t it will hard lock the Xbox. (Why I created them and uploaded them to the downloader emulator) 

     

    retrozone.co Has the games needed and what I based the folder naming on.

  10. It does install the emulators in the right place ready for use. But they requires at least 1 rom/game to show on the carousel. 
     

    no point have an entry with zero games and it doesn’t load and I get questions why have it there is it does noting blah blah 😂 can’t win either way. 
     

    emustarion is as simple as putting roms in a folder and if the emulator is installed (20 by default) you scan in the system (it will tell you if there is no emulator) and wait. Now select your rom and enjoy. 

  11. Here are mine, save and my 3 custom builds from donkeys ago. 
     

    Each mod has its own save included next to the files.

    the usual stuff, strips, teams, boots, balls, stadiums, LODs, crowds etc… all modded. My main mod I may update the menu 1 day as it was a log time ago I done it and the font it crap 😂

     

    let me know how you like my Ibrox stadium 🙌
