wemery73 Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 ya it sounds great my mod chip is coming soon so i grab it.. info:Big Ass Emulator Disc FAQ Q: Why are you posting this? A: I've been watching the Xbox group for a few months, but I have yet to see anyone postan emulator disc with multiple systems. I made a disc for my own use, and now I've decided to post it. I'm sure there are many people who would like something like this,but don't have the time and/or knowledge to create it. Compiling this disc took way moretime than I planned, and I'd like to save others the effort of doing it themselves. Q: How big is big? A: 4,698,079,232 bytes Q: Will that fit on a DVD? A: Barely. Q: What did you use for the multigame menu? A: CDX.xbe, the Content Demo eXecutable, a Microsoft program used for demos and kiosk displays. See the XDK documentation or the forums on xbox-scene.com for more info. Q: What systems are on the disc? A: - Atari 2600 - Atari 5200 - Atari Lynx - Colecovision - Intellivision - MSX - MSX2 - Nintendo Entertainment System - Super NES - Sega Master System - Sega Genesis - Turbografx 16 - Neo Geo Pocket - WonderSwan Q: How many games for each system? A: Well, I started off with full GoodTools sets for every console and whittled them down tomake them all fit. I removed all the overdumps and bad dumps, the unplayable crap. No pointin having those on the disc. I also deleted some 16-bit hacks. Also, a few official 16-bit gameshad to go. I don't remember exactly what I took off, but I looked for European gamesfor which there is also a U.S. version and deleted the Euro version. I also deleted a few story-drivenJapanese games that are completely unplayable unless you speak Japanese. The total number ofofficial games deleted is probably only about 15-20. Q: How many games are there, total, between all the systems? A: 14,620 Q: How'd you fit so many? A: Except for the oldest systems (for which a full ROM set is only a few MB), the emulators can allread from ZIP archives. EVery ROM on this disc that can be zipped is zipped. That's also why Iused STORE on the posted RAR archive. I would waste a whole lot of time and get very little, if any,compression on the already-compressed files. Q: Can I extract the ISO and put the contents on my Xbox hard drive? A: Short answer, no. Long answer, yes, with a "but." The Xbox can read 128-character filenamesfrom a disc, but filenames on the hard drive are limited to 30-something characters. When you tryto transfer the contents of the ISO to the Xbox, you'll get errors on all the filenames longerthan that limit. All the shorter ones should transfer fine, though, and so should all the filesneccessary for the operation of all the emulators. If you want to play ALL the games off the HDD,you'll have to get a batch renamer program (there are lots of freeware ones) to truncate the filenames. Q: How do I exit from a game so I can choose another game? A: This question is only included because it took me a while to figure out and wasn't answered in the regular FAQs for the emulators. You press the right control stick IN, like it's a button. Q: Are any default configuration options changed in the emulators? A: Yes. All of the X-PORT emulators (the ones with a similar interface that were all ported by thesame guy) have music playing by default when you're choosing your game. On some, the music evenkeeps going when you start playing the game! I changed the config for all emulators so music doesn'tplay during the game. Since there's no config option to stop the music during game selection, I changedall the songs to small files with nothing but silence. The regular songs take up space, and also most of them suck, IMHO. Even if they were good, anything will get annoying if you have to hear it loopingover and over every time you choose a game. Q: Why isn't an emulator for system X included? That one was my favorite! A: Sorry, not enough room. The DVD can't get any fuller than it already is. If there's some interest among downloaders, I can compile a second disc with more different systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prican25 Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 chances are you missed it, sorry. a guy posted saying he got it incomplete which happens to some ppl. also there was a minor error on the disc: when choosing intellivision to will boot to adamx (colecovision). the emu is there, he only made an error in the inx file so you can either fix it by extracting the disc and then edit the inx file or use the dash/app to list the contents of the disc and open the xbe of the emu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
