I found a bug in XBMC4Gamers. It doesn't recongnize Doom 3 and Doom 3 RoE as games and I can't start them directly through the dashboard, even though there is a default.xbe in the game folder.
That ain’t a bug, they have the same xbe name or same folder name. Change one or both and they will show. (Well it’s a bug or design in XBMC, it gets confused if something shared the same folder name)
-
Quickest way is Chimp261812 + old eeprom on the Y partition and connect the locked drive as the slave, unlock it and lock it to the motherboard.
But above also works.
-
If it’s unleashx and using one of my skins (grey and lime green) it will say at the top or down the right side. Alternatively load NKPatcher Settings and it will tell you there.
But I suspect it’s v1.1.6 or lower they will be using. Just upgrade like I said and you know you’re on the latest.
-
You can edit the config.ini in C:\dashboard\
(you can enable editing menu entries in settings but just edit the file instead)
use the extras disc and pick a dashboard and pick C:\dashboard as the install location.
but what is it you’re looking for? simple easy to use menu or something fancy?
-
Now update to v1.1.7 and you’re sorted and up to date. You can just use the quick update method.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H823MTNQdwf3cfkhAKIAMTyz-fW71iBR/view?usp=drivesdk
Comes with instructions. (Very easy to do)

Thanks so much for your reply and all the fantastic work you do - do you have a link? Thanks
You do it via the dashboard downloader.

You will need to resoftmod it. You child wipes the softmod off the system when selecting XBLive from the menu.
if there are still saves on your Xbox used to softmod it, run the game the save is for and see if you can get into the softmod installer/settings menu. If you cannot, the you need to get a USB, the softmod saves and the appropriate game to softmod your Xbox again.
-
Test build only has the artwork installer, so update to the test build and it will be under the Artwork tab.
it’s also an application now so you get to pick where you install it.
as for the list you see you need to change the view type to detailed (menu > UISettings)

If you have one of the exploitable games, use the one you have a save on your HDD and see if it loads to a softmod menu. If it does you can fix it via FTP.
-
Dashloader Customizer is what you want. Run it set the override dash to gamers and you’re sorted. (Only works with my softmod or with my custom dashloader for hardmods)

Is there a way to “lock out” changes to skin settings in XBMC4GAMERS? And/or password protect files and folders?
Ive also been questioning how to add fanart and covers (default.tbn), for games that don’t have them in artwork installer?
Disable edit mode, enter Key code in login screen.
there is no kiosk mode like there is in emustation, I may add this at a later date but above is basically it but super locked down.

Hi.
I have installed the Modded MS Dash 5960, and I have the "Portuguese" language selected in the NKPatcher Settings.
If I go to the MS Dash, the MS Dash is in English and not in Portuguese.
Another thing, I can't find any option in the Modded MS Dash 5960 to change the language. Before installing the softmod, the MS Dash had an option to change the language.
Does anyone know the difference between the Modded MS Dash 5960, the Retail 5960 and the Modded 4920?
That’s not a bug, the modded MSDash 5960 checks if the persistent softmod is enabled and disables the language menu. (Persistent softmod invalidates the language value in the eeprom and the result is a controlled error16 state, this will make the system default to English)
4920 defaults to the saves manager on entry and has XBL disabled.
Retail is retail, original MS signed.
I wont be doing Xbox stuff for a while, as my twins were born recently and they are taking up all my spare time
but everything you stated in this thread and other thread can be fixed with the MSDash being installed or editing the skin files of UnleashX.
At at the top of NKPatcher Settings menus is info on what each option does, same goes for the extras disc. It explains what you want to know.

Hi Rocky,
I tried to add Beamrider and Centipede (Atari 2600). Attached is the file you requested.
Thank you, thought there is nothing in that log that shows it’s errored or there is an issue.
Can you send me to the roms please and instructions on what your doing exactly please. (Do it via PM)

Hi @Rocky5,
I have run into an issue with Favorites in XBMC-Emustation on three of my Xboxs. I go through the process of adding a game to favorites and receive the confirmation that the game has been added. The favorites banner displays the number of games added but when I go into the favorites list I just get a blank screen. I have tried deleting the favourites.xml file as well as the favourites.backup file but this doesn't resolve the issue. Do you have any ideas what might be causing this?
What game and can you add it to favourites again and then send me the xbmc.log please.

Only thing you copy over is roms, if you download the emulators form the downloader it’s all setup ready for roms.
".emustation\roms\n64\"
-
Just download the emulator from the downloader. It’s the latest version and it works. (Tested it with a good few games)
Your roms can stay where they are. Just scan in N64 now.
Alternatively send me the log file from the system folder after getting the error and I can tell you exactly why it’s failing. (Did you copy the media folder that’s inside the surreal folder over as it’s needed for the artwork and synopsis info)

isn't the eeprom data the only difference between regions? if we don't talk about the power supply.
Yes, although some devs added there own region checks. So some games will only work in PAL or NTSC video modes. Timesplitters 2 is one of those games.
99% of the Xbox collection work in 480p only a few (more than 10) require a hex edit to force/auto select the 480p flag. Some games require a different patch to the video mode flag, but it’s the same situation, patch and it’s now forced 480p.
Alternatively if softmodded you can just force 480p at the kernel level and if hardmodded flash a patched bios with 480p forced.

Those games may require a 480p patch to work in 480p mode.
But I will need to compare the xbe files to see exactly what was done, as most of the HDD fixes are just FatX checks being latched. (When compared)
-
You do realise bar a couple games the HDD fix is literally a FatX patch. (ie, DVD2Xbox ACL patched xbe)
Just patch your games with DVD2Xbox or use it to copy them to the HDD, UnleashX will only patch the short FatX check, not the long one. DVD2Xbox will also patch most of the problematic games, but not all.
Toca 3, the hulk eg... have acl patches for there protection, NFL 2003 or 4 has a patch file that you manually apply in the file manager.

Yeah, but what about the one called default? Those included in the archive are all the other built-in skins except that one.
There is no skin.xml for that skin it’s just built into the code. No source code no default skin.
-
Updated the Downloader with a new version that works, tested it myself and it plays.

Not when using the built-in skins of UnleashX. Well not directly, you can install the skin.xml used by each of default skins into their own subfolder in UnleashX's skins folder so it's listed as a user installed skin - <BlueShapes - By Kthulu> - not one contained inside UnleashX's default.xbe file - BlueShapes - By Kthulu.
Built-in skins are displayed without the '<' and '>' symbols surrounding their name in the Select Skin list.
See the attached file for the default skin.xml files used for all the built-in skins of UnleashX. (Provided by Rocky5)
You will have to edit these skin.xml files to add the video preview area.
Hmm, I don't see UnleashX's default skin's xml file in this archive.
I thought it was in there too. I'll have to see if I can extract it from UnleashX's default.xbe file.
Those are the default skins from inside the xbe.
