Can't go past the start screen anyway (I mean there's a black screen after) There's been a new game prototype released this days I think too, but I don't have it and don't remember the name

Prototype games I need Art for: Storm Riders ATV3 Lamborghini Project Velocity Freefall 3050 AD Rebellious Bullet The PAL games should work yes, especially given that automatic video mode based on region is activated, but then don't even work when launching them in PAL manually, all of them just give a black screen on launch

"White button, refresh all contents info" -> doesn't fix the issue. "make sure resources is enabled in the view options menu" -> can't find this, where is it exactly ? however as you can se on my screen caps, other games display resources fine and evebn theone with the issue display the banner and the full synopsis page ... EDIT : Found it ! It's located on the dpad up 'View Settings' menu, third entry 'View Options' and indeed resources were disabled ! now it works ! Last issues: finding _resources for the few prototype games I have and making PAL games work ...

The issue is I DO have the _resources folder inside these newest games (like g:\Games\Actionadv\Shrek, pay not attention to _resources_shrek I renamed it like that on my computer not on the console) , and it has 17 files, same as a working one. and it's mindblowing: - the banner is showing - when pressing Y the synopsis is showing with the boxart - however the main boxart on the main view (in the g:\Games\Actionadv\ folder) is not ? So clearly the main boxart is cached or determined from somewhere else in XBMC4Gamers ...

Seems I can't edit my post ... By launching Xbox Artwork Installer manually and adding custom path for my genre subfolders, doing automatic scrape and then 'Refresh all contents' in each subfolder, I was able to resolve most issues. There's one remaining : newly added games boxart is not appearing, while banner art and even their synopsis (and the boxart in it !) are ... Maybe there's a link between XBMC4Gamers and the boxart scrape to display which is broken or something ? Or main boxart covers are cached somehow ?

Managed to update and also downloaded the FanArt 128MB Pack Still having my two-ish issues, and I must mention I'm using genre subfolders for my game. However even when I go into one subfolders, go on the first game and press "Update all content infos" in the context menu, I can see the system is working on it with a progress bar but after that I still have the following problems: - Latest games I added are not scrapped at all, no info is found for them, like Shrek, Shrek 2 or Sneakers - I had dozens of games which were added and properly scrapped a while ago, they were displaying the boxart, banner and synopsis content in the synopsis Y page. However they were not working and I add to delete them and replace them by keeping the same game folder name. Now obviously while doing that the _resources folder inside the game folder was deleted. After doing that the boxart for the game still appears but the banner has disappeared, updating the infos does nothing, not even creating the _resources folder inside the game folder. The main boxart still displaying makes me think the game is still referenced as 'scrapped' or something somewhere, and not updated - Since updating to latest XBMC4Gamers (and even before updating the Artwork Installer) on the synopsis page, the 3D boxart has disappeared for all games

So I have successfully updated to XMBC4Gamers 2.0.0.1 Now I'd like to update XBox Artwork Installer to latest version to resolve some few long standing issues (I hope !), I currently have a very old version 1.9.4 or something. First it seems I can't install the new version, or I dont understand how: when trying to select the installation folder, I can't go on the OK/Cancel/Create New Folder part, not sure if I don't understand how (unreachable through the pad or any button) or if it's greyed out for some reason ? (In the attached picture the present folder is the one for my existing 1.9.4 installation) Secondly, it might actually be a better idea to uninstall the previous installer, then install the new one, to avoid any conflict. Not sure either how to exactly do that properly and safely, is it as simple as deleting the previous XBox Artwork Installer app folder and rebooting ?

hmmm I would guess it's a matter of managing to download the new version or not though, so might as well try it ...

I successfully updated the UrlDownloader, but when I tried to download / update DVD2XBox I had an error mentioning Google ... So I'm a bit nervous, is it safe to update XBMC4Games from 1.8.0.1 to 2.0.0.1 at the moment or is it better to wait for the Google situation to be resolved ?

OK thanks ! Will try that I must say I really love all your tools, thank you for all your hard work

Hello I don't know if it's better to post here or in Software / Apps, I'll try here. So I use XMBC4Gamers, and my collection of games uses subfolders for genre, because I don't like navigating a flat list of 700+ games... In the past the Artwork Installer Script worked fine and managed to find artwork and install them for my games in subfolders (i.e. for instance F:\Games\ShootEmUp\Xyanide) I updated to latest XBMX4Gamers and Artwork Installer (installed the app now) and this doesn't seem to work anymore. When searching automatically with both the App and the Script, missing artwork is not found for games in my subfolder When adding artwork manually with the App, I get an explicit error when browsing to F:\Games\ShootEmUp\ telling me this not a valid game folder without beeing able to go to F:\Games\ShootEmUp\Xyanide Is there anything I can do ? I thought about moving the game folder temporarily i.e. F:\Games\Xyanide, install their artwork that way then move them back to F:\Games\ShootEmUp\Xyanide\Xyanide, will it work that way and the artwork be displyed for the game or not ?

Thanks guy I managed to find the hdd fixes file somewhere else. I guess I need a subscription to download files now and for some reason my Ghostscript extension was partially breaking that ? I don't seem to be able to access it anymore so .... Anyway I resumed trying to fix my broken games (sadly I have lost my excel file listing them apparently and that was two years ago so good luck to me remembering it all) I can say that my issue with Arctic Thunder was clearly due to a bad dump, so if anyone like me have issue with the game it comes from the XBOX HDD Ready collection floating around. What I did is download the ISO Redump of the game (also floating around) which are massive, and extracting the game content from it with XDVDMulleter Beta 10.2. Works like a charm, just copy the iso content to the xbox and the game works fine now. The first Blinx game was also fixed the same way. I will try to fix all my broken games if I manage to remember/find them and give some solutions here if I manage to fix them. That also includes games displayed in 480i, a lot of patches are floating around One of these is Scooby-Doo: Mystery Mayhem but I can't seem to find a 480p patch for it, has anyone got one ?

Seems the file donwload crashes for me everytime I try, and then for 10mn after it says I'm not allowed to download the file Then it crashes again after a few ko transfered...

Hmmm now I've enabled Fast Game Parsing and the UI stays stuck on 'Loading' with the animation in the top left... even after rebooting the console I can here the HDD working from time to time though, and I have close to 1000 games (all with their artwork) but is it normal ? EDIT: Ok it seems this feature is not compatible with using subfolers for games (I sort them by genre like that)

Yes it is. Well good news, it turned out I had another in F:, replacing this one worked, and this seem to be mine/ I seem to have lost some customisation though, I'll have to check, and try to update urldownloader again I guess I'll come back if I need any further help ! Thank you again !!

OK just did that and copied it over my seemingly installation in E:\Apps\XBMC4Gamers Unfortunately I still have the exact same error on next boot

Hello SS_Dave, well I just had the exact same error, and I'm pretty lost, I have FTP access though I did everything on this xbox for the first time more than two years ago so I don't remember anything about it, not that I knew much to begin with. So what exactly should I download from the github and where should I put it on the XBOX FTP ? Thank you in advance for your help, or anybody's help.

Wow, thank you thank you thank you to you and @KaosEngineer! I was getting desperate trying to make this game work... Couldn't find first chain 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 02 00 00 01 (nor its replacement 35 38 34 34 34 35 34 36 FF 01 00 C0 07) in the default.xbe but managed to change second one despite HexEdit v4.0 adding two '?' by itself in both Find and Replace field, after fiddling a while to get this '?' to disappear, it works, and now the game starts ! So I noticed you give the same two chains to modify for all three games, what are they doing exactly ? I still have some 30 games or such not working, some of them are rebooting the console, some of them are freezing it...

Difficult to say it's not "my" games.... And to complicate matters my console is PAL but forced in NTSC so ...

@KaosEngineer I seem to have many HDD games which runs only in 480i (with everything correctly connected (component cable) and configured (higher resolutions enabled + Enigmah Switch), other games work fine in 480p or even 720p), does this mean they are not patched to run in 480p or that they are not even compatible with 480p ?

i'm partial to XBMC4Gamers myself, you can download everty artwork very simply

Yeah but all my questions were for XBMC4Gamers not UnleashX

Also anyway to change background color of dash / color of the bar below game to the nice og xbox radioactive green ?

Sorry for basic questions but : - What is Title Update ? Is is patch/fixes for games which were deployed through XBLA ? - Do you install them by just copying them over the game ? Is it the same for DLC ?

So I will use F: and G: for my game collection and wanted to know how it is managed. If I put games in subfolder (like Platform) on both disks (F:\Games\Platform and G:\Games\Platform) will they appear in dash as in a single Platform subfolder or will it crash ? Also is it possible to have an image displayed for the folders like for the games ? and eventually banner ? I also wanted to know if it is possible to download anywhere the whole artwork ressources base used by the dash ? I need it to manually fix games which are not scrapped by the dash and also to know which games I am missing (dash says it has artwork for around 1062 games but I only have 850-900 or so, although I delibarately removed some, it was not that many)
