I just picked up an EMS Topgun II. Is anyone here familiar with it and able to give pointers? I’ve figured out how to work it and calibrate it. My biggest questions are how to do general navigation on Xbox and in CoinOps.
Id also like suggestions on good light gun games in both. I know about House of the Dead 3 and Silent Scope. I also have the Chihiro Virtua Cop and Ghost Squad

Anyone know how to get mission 3 working in Ghost Squad on a 128mb Xbox?

Rocky5's dashloader for a hardmodded console does this too.
You can configure the 8 main buttons; A, B, Y, X, Back, Start, White, and Black; on the controller to a different dashboard to start when held on power on.
The hard modded version of Rocky5's dashloader is provided with the unofficially patched iND-BiOS 5003 release:
IND-BIOS 5003 Shutdown+Ram Patched+XBL Enabled.zip - Google Drive
This patched BIOS fixes a few bugs that exist in the original 5003 release and allows Xbox Live packets to be sent for when Insignia becomes available - the homebrew Xbox Live replacement soon-to-be-released (when? when it's done...).
Note: To use the dashloader, you do not have to use iND-BiOS. The dashloader is named evoxdash.xbe and replaces that file on your hard modded Xbox's C drive. (REMINDER: you do need a replacement dashboard on the hard drive at one of the locations listed below.)
Most modified Xbox BIOSes check for that file, C:\evoxdash.xbe, first in their boot order list.
Rocky5's dashloader has its own much longer boot order list than a modified BIOS. It is used to load the actual replacement dashboard installed on the hard drive unless you hold a button on the controller that has been configured to load a specific dashboard. The first file found in the following list becomes your default dashboard:
- C:\XBMC-Emustation\default.xbe
- E:\XBMC-Emustation\default.xbe
- F:\XBMC-Emustation\default.xbe
- C:\XBMC4Gamers\default.xbe
- E:\XBMC4Gamers\default.xbe
- F:\XBMC4Gamers\default.xbe
- C:\XBMC4Xbox\default.xbe
- E:\XBMC4Xbox\default.xbe
- F:\XBMC4Xbox\default.xbe
- C:\XBMC\default.xbe
- E:\XBMC\default.xbe
- F:\XBMC\default.xbe
- C:\dashboard\default.xbe
- E:\dashboard\default.xbe
- F:\dashboard\default.xbe
- C:\dash\default.xbe
- E:\dash\default.xbe
- F:\dash\default.xbe
- E:\default.xbe
- E:\dashboard.xbe
- E:\evoxdash.xbe
- C:\XBMC.xbe
- E:\XBMC.xbe
I’m going to have to check that out. Is it just that simple: edit the button cfg files, then put the folder and the evoxdash.xbe on C:?
Is there a way to edit the default dash order list?

It turns out it does work. Just takes a while to load the first time.
This is a TSOP v1.0. Is it possible to have two dashboards, with an option to pick which on boot?
I’m using iND-5003.67 patched bios
-
Yes, I was talking about injecting the config file into iND-BIOS.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of injecting bios config? Is it difficult?
-
Is it possible to run say UnleashX as an App in XBMC4GAMERS? I tried it, and it seems like it’s trying to load but doesn’t.
-

Ok, so I figured out what I did wrong. I didn’t know that u don’t use the default.xbe files. But does anyone have Ghost Squad with a working level 3?
-
Would it make a difference whether the bios config is injected or on hd? What are the advantages and disadvantages of injecting them?
-
Can anyone offer any suggestions for controls in the Commodore 64 emulator on Xbox? Is there a way to use a keyboard?
-
Not sure what I’m doing wrong? Maybe they don’t run on v1.0?
xbmc4gamers dash sees the ram.
Ram all checks out ok in XBlast.
I have the folders on the root of E. -
Thanks for the help with the bios. I tried switching to ind5003.67 and edited that line. The Chihiro games still won’t load.
-
If I have XBlast on the hard drive (not as bios), can I use it to flash?
-
I am using XBMC4Gamers. It sees the extra ram. When I try to load the Chihiro games the screen goes black and nothing loads. Shouldn't my X2 5035 enable the ram automatically? I don't know much about editing the bios. I thought X2 5035 was supposed to be the best option for a v1.0 Xbox. I'm not even sure how to flash another bios over it. I used HEXEN when i did it originally
-
Does that Chihiro game pack need to have a launcher file?
-
I’m trying to run the Chihiro games
-
On a TSOP v1.0 Xbox running x2 5035 bios, is there anything I have to to do to enable using the additional ram?
-
Any idea what voltage? I think that will determine the physical size.
-
I was wondering if that might be the case. I’ll keep looking. I’d still like to know the value of that cap to replace it.
-
I have a TSOP v1.0 that I decided to make a first attempt at a RAM upgrade using a hot air rework station. After adding the fourth chip I began having FRAG errors. After several re-flows and checking all the pins, I figured I got bad RAM chips. So I removed them all. AND STILL FRAG…
after a closer inspection, I noticed that one of the nearby SMD capacitors went missing. C5B3. Any chance someone know the value of this cap, or has a list? I’m not sure if you can measure an onboard cap.
-
What exactly does fast parsing do?
-
I’ve tried to ask in another three, with no success: if I wanted to put my games into subdirectories to cut down on load time and search time, how do I do it?
-
I’m sorry man. I didn’t think about that. Patience isn’t my strong suit. I kinda freaked when I couldn’t ftp in. It wouldn’t reset or anything.

Thanks. I forgot about Starsky and Hutch. I know there should be a bunch in CoinOps
