So i just purchased an modded xbox and ive been busy trying to figure it out. Ive done well with most of it except one thing I have all the emulators i could wish for but not a single game for any of the emulators i know where to get roms off the web so i did but how to i put the roms onto the xbox can i burn the roms to a CD-R or do i have to hook up my xbox to computer or w1hat if anyone knows please help me out thank you
if you have XBMC on the xbox, just burn your games to a dvd and transfer them using XBMC's file manager. Thats how i do it since my ethernet port on my xbox is dead.
OK Thank you but how do you burn roms to a DVD-RW? im having a hard time trying to get it to burn properly. any suggestions would be great.
ftp them across to your xbox from the computer, it would be a lot easier and cheaper than wasting disks
If you want to burn roms to a DVD-RW, use a program like NERO. It works really well. Just select Make a Data DVD, and then just drag and drop the roms files onto the disc. That is basically all you have to do. Though in my opinion FTPing it is a whole lot easier in my opinion. For the emulators you have, sometimes they require that you put the roms in a specific place. Here is what I did: 1. Open up your FTP program (I use FlashFXP), and get to the files on your xbox. 2. Where your Emulator files are, there should be an .xml file with each emulator. 3. Click on the .xml file, and transfer it to your PC, and open it up with Notepad. 4. When you open it with Notepad, there will be a lot of script, just look for where it should say "ROM Directory" or something like that. It will then say under that, where the Emulator will look for ROMS (i.e. E:/Apps/Roms or something like that) This is where it is going to look on your xbox for the roms. 5. Change where to look for the Roms to whatever you want. I put mine on E:/Apps/ROMS/ and that is where I stored all of my roms. You can also make a file for separating the roms for certain emulators like E:/Apps/Roms/NES for NES games. 6. Once you have typed in the .xml file where you want to find your ROMS, save the changes in notepad, and FTP that .xml file back to your xbox where you found the original. 7. If it asks to overwrite the file click Overwrite, and then you are set to go. I hope this helps you.
