ok to update my previous post, i can run surreal outside of emustation after deleting the emustation version of surreal, but the ini file stil points to xbmc emusation rom directory. So yeah theres something weird going on. Xbmc emusation is changing the sureal ini even if its not in the emustation directory. That surely isnt right.
So as it stands i can run surreal outside xbmc emustation but not from within it ::/Surreal stores it’s path in a folder in TDATA, remove said folder to fix your issue.
E:\\TDATA\\64ce64ce

Thanks for that
Tried commenting out the ports reference item id52 but think i broke it!
When emustation restarts get a splash screen then nothing - black screen - can still hear sound from keypresses but no home screen
Edited the system_list.xml back to original but still the same black screen
UPDATE:
Got the home screen back by switching themes (forcing rebuild?) after removing commenting out
But still get a black screen when adding the commenting out (is this causing a rebuild fail?)
2 hours ago, SparkThaMetal said:Just to chime in im having the same surreal 64 issue as listed here. Using the built in downloader to grab it. Seems that copy of surreal is broken somehow. Using earthwormjames roms. Surreal works as an app outside emustation , and even when putting it as an xbe shortcut on homescreen in emustation. But using the built in launching functions of emmustation for n44 roms in the rom list always gets me a black screen and hard lockup.
Why I hate N64 emulation, it does the same for me now. (It never used to)

Almost got the system setup as I want it for my 12 year old son -
- softmodded (rocky5)
- Emustation installed (did both build from source and then re-tried with download and extract pre-built zip when had initial problems - both results the same)
- HDD switched larger 300gb
- Xbox games ripped on to HDD and artwork added
- SNES and Megadrive ROMS on and mostly working
But have been banging my head against a brick wall trying to figure out the 2 final things I want to do
1. Trying to remove the 'Ports' option from the Carousel (not needed for my son) - but cant seem to find a carousel config file to comment out the reference to 'Ports'
2. Can't get PSX to work in any way, shape or form,
Can get the games and artwork to be recognised and show as available games, but they just wont run - mostly just freezes the whole system with a black screen and then have to power off the whole sytem to restart - occasionally get a config display withe certain games (Risk) to change bios etc but then dont have the option to save changes and continue to game and then system just freezes again :
- tried 4 games known to be working ROMS (running on RPi + Recalbox) Kula World, Rayman, MGS1 and Risk
- tried ISO files
- tried bin/cue files (Kula World = 1 bin + 1 cue) (MGS1 = 1 bin + 1 cue) (Rayman = multiple bins + 1 cue) (Risk = 2 bin + 1 cue)
- tried IMG files
- even tried eboot/pbp format!
- tried adding additional bios (schph5500, scph5501 + scph5502) - adding these worked in Recalbox
- tried adding SCPH1001 (uppercase - some systems can be picky)
- tried changing PCSXBOX cores - default, default 14, default 15, default 15 reloaded, default 16 (wasn't sure how to change them so just renamed each one default.xbe in turn
Not sure what else to do & not sure how to view log to try and identify whats going wrong because the system freezes!
Anyone got any ideas, help, suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Edit S:\simple\systems_list\system_list.xml comment out the ports (<!— <item id="52"> all the other code </item> —>) Now change theme once for effects. (I have to build the home.xml again without the new value)
cant help with emulators, PSX and N64 are the worst contenders, you could try downloading the updated emulator from the downloader.
Don’t change anything in the PSX emulator, it’s front end will select a core or you can load directly into it by pressing Y button on the carousel. This will let you adjust cores to use for specific games, just find your games the press X on them (I’m sure it’s X) this will let you select what core to use. Try different ones.

If using XBMC4Gamers or XBMC-Emustation, you don’t need the installers. Just download from the downloader and it gets auto installed. (All DLC and Title Updates are on there)

Hey @Rocky5. Great job on the skin. I really like it a lot!
Quick question. I just recently did the XERC 2 IR mod with the internal MS USB dongle. The install was a success and I can see in UnleashX everything working perfectly. However, none of the navigation buttons seem to work with the XBMC4Gamers, even when I enable the MCE/Universal remote, nothing. Is it just me or...?
Thank you!
There is not remote.xml file in the keymaps folder as there was no need.

HI Rocky5
i have xbmc-emustation installed Tsop Xbox, might be a stupid question from a noob but where do the Xbox og games go in roms file, or do i need to make new one.
Do i need an emulator for them every time i scan i find the 2 im using to try work i out but after a restart there gone and keep getting no default.xbe found in directory added pic so you can see if my explanation is bad.
any help much appreciated.
i have your emustation on 4 xboxs 1 is my own others are gifts for family.
thanks in advance
Not entirely sure what you’re meaning.
Xbox games go in E,F or G:\Games\ just like every other dashboard.
Roms require a corresponding emulator or you will get the above error. There is no point in scanning in roms if there is no emulator to play them.

Tried creating the v1.1.6 Extras Disc from the Prebuilt Version iso, on different machines, using different media (including media that has worked for me in the past), and none of them boot on my xbox. I get a black screen and a flashing green LED.
It should be loading D:\OtherSM\default.xbe
It’s working as it should but for some reason it’s not loading the xbe file or it’s hanging.

Did you ever figure this one out? I'm having the same issue. When I run the Halo 2 DLC installer, none of the new maps show up and I can't find where it gets installed to.
DLC may require the latest version xbe file, next to the DLC in downloader. Can’t remember what version is installed 1.5 or 1.6 with the DLC.

480p and 720p are set when you install my softmod (patching eeprom data section) so they are enabled. If it’s failing to save he settings the shadowc partition may have become write protected.
Just run the upgrade older softmods option from the extras disc to reinstall everything. (Games, apps eg... won’t be effected)

Sorry for the confusion in my explanation, I didn't install the XBlastOS. I used XBlast to flash evox m8+ to the TSOP.
The USB IDE adapter I have is the one I mentioned in another thread. It is a Sabrent (USB-DS12) combo IDE + SATA adapter. It has a vid of 0x1F75 and apparently is not supported in xboxhdm23. I was hoping there was some way to unlock it with the Xbox since I don't have an IDE adapter that works with xboxhdm23. I did try to boot the TSOPed Xbox with the locked drive and Hexen in the DVD but after the flubber animation and Microsoft text the screen just goes blank and stays that way.
If the original drive is softmodded it will crash after the Xlogo screen, so you will need to boot a disc like hexen to get access.

Hi Rocky,
Ive been using your iso script for a few games recently and at the moment i have had to rite a list so i know which games are in iso format. Is there anyway of displaying an icon on the game artwork like the trainer icon to show that its an iso game? Or is there already something in pace and im just missing it?
No, each XISO is placed into a folder with (ISO) at the end. Unfortunately there is no voidable cue as there can’t be and I won’t edit the games xbe title to add (ISO), no point.

Press the black button and it will tell you.

Just put the chimp folder that’s inside the E Partition folder in your apps or applications folder on E.
basically you install it like any other application, it’s just hardcoded to the E partition.

It’s not just a skin, before you starts taking the skin folders from the skins folder.
it requires the custom build of XBMC that comes with it. (It’s a XBMC mod and skin combo)

It works! Finally a lamehead like me can enjoy iso games.
Just do the 5 steps above. ( It does infact folderize all iso's present in the game folder. )
6. Then when dashboard (xbmc4gamers) reloads, go to the game menu and press A to run and "mount" the game to the virutal dvd rom.
The xbox reboots again back to dashboard.. Now go to settings and file-explorer and place cursor on the D: drive and hit START and the game runs.
If you soft-reset with IGR you return to back to dashboard - and you can mount a different iso game.
Tried with HP-Azkaban and Tony Hawk p8.
Thumbs up!
Just press start at the games list to boot a disc.

@Rocky5 Thanks for explaining that, I will try that today when I get home. One more thing, the artwork installer doesn’t install anything for the Xiso games, is there anyway to force it to do so? Or do I have to do it manually somehow?
Once you install the XISO properly it will.

Some of my dvd covers have a white controller logo in the top left corner, anyone know what it is?
Is it something to do with trainers? I have some games with the little grey circle logo, i thought that was for trainers as it goes yellow when the trainer is activated....
Controller means you have played the game.
Little grey circle is the trainer found icon, it turn yellow when you enable a trainer.
Both can be disabled in the skin settings > toggles menu
trainers also go in Q:\system\trainers by default, you can ch age this in the programs settings menu.

Right, I am trying Rocky5's method first.
Steps:
1. Transfer iso from PC to xbox F:games\
2. Copy folder "Bios Virtual Disc Patcher" to root of C:\
3. Copy folder "Bios Virtual Disc Patcher Loader" and "reboot xbe" to E:\apps\
4. Run "XISO to HDD script" and select F:games\ and pick ok
5. Then i head back to Xbmc4gamers "applications" menu and run "Bios Virtual Disc Patcher Loader" (It will reboot into your dashboard. The LED will change colour for a second during the patching)
6. Load your ISO game now
Nothing happens and the xbox reboots xbmc4gamers.
Mission failed. What did i do wrong ?
No fixed what you put, I folderize the XISO so all you do is fire them into the games folder I do the rest.
the reason it reboots games is because of what I done to the source to spread up the menu loading. (It thinks all things are xbe files, so the gamename folder you see is a folder and not an xbe)
disable faster game parsing and you will see what I mean.

Here you go, works on all bios since it’s patching a BFM bios.
unfortunately ind-bios5003 won’t work 100% and 5035 doesn’t work either, so we need to use M8Plus to get it working 100% (this goes for BFM or flashed) this package should be self explanatory.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14XYrIpqEhsREMEy5LM0u6lgqJV1T0XK5/view?usp=drivesdk
if you use XBMC4Gamers you can use the XISO to HDD script to parse and process your XISO files into folders and it will also populate the attach.xbe with the correct certificate information of the game so trainers and save managers work properly.
Note:
if you want it to load on each boot, just get your bios to run C:\Bios Virtual Drive Patcher\default.xbe on boot.
it uses my dashloader so any patch my softmod loads this loads also, you can create a dashloader.cfg file and put a custom path to a dashboard of your choice in there to boot that first and you can also populate the dashloader.rec file with a path to a recovery dashboard if you want to use the start+y feature of dashloader. (This is handy as a backdoor incase you arse up your dashboard and it loops)

You need to use gentoox and a 256kb bios or xblastos and a 256kb bios as you have a winbond. (Evox cannot flash this)
but thats questions for abother thread as eat as this is about softmodding, so wish you all the best in updating your bios to a more recent one.

Your Xbox is TSOPPED. Softmod won’t work on it.
-
Like I said it looks like it’s TSOPPED (softmod won’t work as it’s already modded)
Copy dashloader from C:\nkpatcher\dashloader\default.xbe copy it to the root of C and name it evoxdash.xbe
now install a dashboard to E:\dashboard\ using the extras disc and reboot.
If it loads the dashboard you installed it’s TSOPPED, if it tries to load xboxdash.xbe we will need to check some more things.
(Do not remove anything from C)

Ftp With XBmc4gamers
in General Xbox Discussion
Posted · Edited by Rocky5
I always setup my static IP as follows.
PC
IP = 192.168.0.2
SubNET = 255.255.255.0
Gateway = 192.168.0.1
Xbox
IP = 192.168.0.3
SubNET = 255.255.255.0
Gateway = 192.168.0.1
then connect via flashfxp or any other FTP program. I currently use gamers in static ip mode but routed through a router, as my wireless adaptor likes to hang the transfer when in DHCP mode
(Xbox is connected to a wireless AP that connect wirelessly to my router, PC is wired to the router)
