KingPango Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Right, so I've been pulling my hair out ever since I managed to get this up and running. Firstly I'd like to thank everyone's work for the fantastic upload and great work thus far. Can't thank you enough Currently I'm running (to my knowledge) the latest installment of Coinops2 (FULL). Took couple of days to download and another simply to unpack and FTP everything over but well worth the wait. I would however like to add more games to the list (mainly my Xbox games). After much frustration and a heap of trail and error. I managed to get some programs to convert videos into .xmv's (damn that took ages). Also managed to get the game (just testing one at the moment) to show in the list of games, and have the corresponding video play in the background (finally). I go to start the game and get: Black screen, wait..... then dashboard. In a fit of rage, I quickly head back to the ReadMe section of the download but still unable to get the blasted thing to work. No matter what I try, it always seems to be the same. Black screen, wait..... dashboard. My current directories are as follows: F:\Games\Xbox Games...F:\Apps\CoinOps2.... Now I've also tried the following "pointer" setups: Roms\Xbox_gamename.zip (containing the corrosponding pointer which reads F:\Games\Xbox Games\Game Name\default.xbe)Result: Failed Roms\Xbox_gamename.zip (blank .zip file)Roms\Xbox_gamename.xbe (pointer file which reads F:\Games\Xbox Games\Game Name\default.xbe)Results: Failed Roms\Xbox_gamename.xbe (pointer file which reads F:\Games\Xbox Games\Game Name\default.xbe)Results: Failed (game not even detected) If I could please get some help on this, that would be greatly appreciated. I have asked elsewhere and have come up empty handed. Ive also spent countless nights trying to nut it out but have failed. There also doesn't appear to be any information about this issue on the internet either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Xtras stuff, always have always will.... what I do not like is the BS war between everyone so I stay out... I piped up as someone needed help and got turned away by Link over a LINK (kinda ironic) whoever said no posting xtras links wernt me...! I mentioned in before about links in signatures and copywrite stuff but that was not aimed at xtras , it was again a point about me teling people where to get help and files for coinops. I grabbed the xtras stuff and SEEDED for AGES.... same with the MSX stuff recently I seeded over 70gb... I love coinOPS as its in my cab and eveything just looks nicer accessable in one place and is hands down the best thing on xbox 64 or 128 tusty boxes ! its annoying when people wont help someone else because that got issues with someone else.... im mean WTF???? If you read the post by Mclane, he has not asked for mame to be removed... He just did not want roms that dont work being added to coinops like you see in mame... anyone else wanna pipe up ??? feel free Edited September 15, 2011 by ace9094 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
