alcatraz68 Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 I have just FTP'd CoinOps 8 over to my newly mod chipped Xbox but there is no Emulator option in the menu so I can't load it. I can see an option to 'format' menu but it asks for a password to be entered to access it. Also I have 'HeXEN tools' and 'Ndure tools' but these too require passwords, although these require pressing buttons in the correct order. Is there any commonly used passwords I can try to use or should I contact the seller I purchased the modchip off about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 Best to chuck the HeXen disk in the trash and get the OGXbox installer v1.5.4 from here it's more up to date and no passwords needed. https://1fichier.com/dir/mX1kipIz If you must keep using a HeXen disk the password is AYBX Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

UnleashX If so, you have to edit its config.xml file to add an Emulators section to it. FTP to the console and download the file, edit it, upload the updated version to overwrite the old file then reboot for the new menu configuration to be used. Find the start of the <Menu>...</Menu> section in the config.xml file.

Requiring the user to enter a password or passcode (e.g., <List Text="menu item" Password="password"> or <List Text="menu item" Passcode="AYBX">). If a password, a pop-up window opens requesting a Password to be entered using the onscreen keyboard and if a passcode, a pop-up wiindows opens requesting for the user to enter a Passcode. A password protected List element's Password attribute sets the password the user has to enter (e.g., Password="Xbox") to run the menu item. In the example, the password is Xbox which is case sensitive. A passcode protected List element's Passcode attribute sets the passcode (controller button sequence) be used instead of a Password (e.g., Passcode="AYBX"). The user has to press the controller buttons sequentially - A Y B X - to access the protected menu item. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant thank you, I was able to FTP the file over to my computer and added in the Emulator option. I also moved around a few things as the default layout wasn't to my liking (Applications and System Settings were buried within a folder called 'Xbox Admin', I moved them to the main menu). I'm having one more issue with the UI though, my emulators have icons when you highlight them but my games don't, any idea if this can be fixed somewhere? I'm using the default UnleashX skin.
