Hey everyone, I recently whooped out my xbox dance pads again and decided on installing the StepmaniaX 4.0 CVS package that is available on the web. However, unfortunately I have the following problem:
The first time I use the program, no problem whatsoever. However, the second time I start it, the game gives me a blank (black) screen after the song loading screen.
When I reinstalled the game, it would run normally again, but only for a single run.
I used the linux utility 'diff' to compare my game files after it's initial run with the original files I downloaded, and I noticed that the following setting is automatically changed in my preferences.ini:
CODE
alexander@odyssey ~/Desktop/StepmaniaX4CVS/Save $ diff Preferences.ini Preferences2.ini
52c52
< DisplayHeight=576
---
> DisplayHeight=480
576 is the amount of lines on a PAL monitor if I'm not mistaken, but resetting the file to it's original "480" value solves my problem. I've tried changing my programs PAL/NTSC settings, and tried starting the game from both EvoX and XBMC, but nothing seems to help. I wrote a little script to manually reset the file before I want to play, but I'd prefer to solve this problem instead of work around it.
I'm running an Xbox 1.6 on a PAL widescreen television using XBMC Atlantis as my primary dashboard.
Anybody have a clue? Or perhaps a guide for building a xbox release from the latest stepmania svn. I really enjoy the changes that 4.0 brings, so I'd hate to have to abandon it.
