Hello I am having issues with Emustation Snes9xbox by Mednefen NES/SNES error with loading ROMs. I have done the folllowing: downloaded emustation zip file -> extracted the folder on Windows 11 -> it has XBMC-Emustation folder inside an XBMC-Emustation folder -> I extracted the internal folder and FTP it to my OG Xbox -> installed the emulators including NES and SNES -> placed ROMs inside relevant folders for each system -> choose rom to boot from Emustation console system-> NES goes to emulator menu then when I select a game it fails everytime with permissions error and SNES just a blank screen - all others working including SEGACD Error message is permissions error. also tried: downloaded emustation zip file-> FTP it to my OG Xbox -> unzipped as is -> installed the emulators including NES and SNES -> placed ROMs inside relevant folders for each system -> choose rom to boot from Emustation console system-> NES goes to emulator menu then when I select a game it fails everytime with permissions error and SNES just a blank screen Have I missed a step or done something I should not have? Specs: OG XBOX v1.6 Video encoder: XCalibur NTSC ACER LCD Softmodded with Rocky5 UnleashX Dash latest XBMC-Emustation (compiled Jul27 2024)

As always, the finished product goes first. The system is a XChip modded xbox running XBMC. Has 4,000 games backedup on it (Coinops-NES, Atari 2600, N64, PS1, Arcade games and everything inbetween. Including some PC game ports as well as backed up Xbox games with custom maps and features). But, there's a twist. It can use original, unmodified NES controllers. And full SNES controllers with a simple SNES>NES adapter (Fun fact, they have the same contacts, just different plugs). This is designed to be a very long lasting Xbox. It runs under 100 degrees Fahrenheit and everything is plug n play so if I need to change the motherboard or PSU out its as easy as Legos. And as always, the unit is designed to be used by strangers at large events when its not sitting in front of my own TV, so its built quite rugged. For the case I went to eBay and simply searched "aluminum enclosure" until I found something I liked. When it arrived, it looked something like below. Then I used a drill press to slowly and methodically drill out the holes I wanted, then I filed them down. Luckily I no longer have to do this method for my consoles as I found someone who can reliably mill my holes out for me. While this method worked, its missing that final 5% that really makes you go "wow". For the NES ports, I used a microcontroller to imitate the OG xbox controller and let me use unmodified NES controllers instead. To switch between the NES and Xbox controllers, you just have to push the button next to the controller port, its that simple. I have adapters to allow me to use SNES controllers as well. Luckily its just a physical difference for the plug, like having a USB-mini to USB micro adapter. While I like the duke controller, I can now use more simple controllers for games that dont required joysticks. While its tempting to have my new contact professionally remake a front bezel for me to really polish it off, I would rather that money go toward a new project.
